Summary
In this update of the 1993 and 1968 editions, Collins (history, U. of California, Santa Barbara) introduces controversies relating to pre- colonial African history. Contributors to 35 readings present debates over: whether ancient Egyptian rulers were African, the origins of the Bantu people, African states and trade, the spread of Islam, status of women, and nature of slavery within the continent. The volume includes topographic and demographic maps, and statistics on the slave trade. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
