Reader Reviews
Fantastic general overview of the West African Region, from 1000 to 1800 AD. The author and his colleagues offers the reader a vivid look at the ever evolving western African civilizations from research obtained from eye witnesses, archeological research, oral and tradition histories from the various tribes. It appears by all accounts that the pre-slave dominated market societies were very sophisticated with their way of living ie, there was advanced agriculture, cattle farming, fishing, horse raising, technical skill societies that fueled the unique economies. Also political, educational systems based on age-sets and spiritual systems were set in place for thousand of years. Consequently you will be informed of the various city states, kingdoms, empires that were formed, their rise to power and the reasons why they fell. Plus the importance of the various outside religions that were forced on the indigenous populations and the role they played with the successes and failures of various regions. Overall a relatively unbiased overview with excellent bibliographical sources.
