ePub Scarlet and Black: Slavery and Dispossession in Rutgers History by From Rutgers University Press in History

Description

Since its initial publication; The Civilizationsof Africa has established itself as the most authoritative text available on early African history. Addressing the glaring lack of works concentrating on earlier African eras; Christopher Ehret’s trailblazing book has been paired with histories of Africa since 1800 to build a full and well-rounded understanding of the roles of Africa’s peoples in human history. Examining inventions and civilizations from 22;000 BCE to 1800 CE; Ehret explores the wide range of social and cultural as well as technological and economic change in Africa; relating all these facets of African history to developments in the rest of the world.This updated edition incorporates new research; as well as an extensive new selection of color images.
