A Short History Of Africa: From the Origins of the Human Race to the Arab Revolts of 2011
Gordon Kerr
Africa. The cradle of civilisation. From the dawn of human time in prehistoric Africa right through to the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011, Gordon Kerr offers a comprehensive introduction to the sprawling history of this enormous continent. He begins with the origins of the human race, through ancient and medieval times and the significance of the Arab presence, the Muslim states and the trans-Saharan trade. Kerr continues with the rise and fall of nation states and kingdoms prior to the arrival of Europeans, on to the beginning of the slave trade, and the European conquest and colonisation of sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, Kerr concludes with an assessment of Africa in the 21st century.
