An African History of Africa: An Eye-Opening Historical Survey of Africa with a Fresh Perspective, Perfect for Winter 2025, Expand Your Knowledge of African Civilizations

“Both a tour d'horizon and a tour de force, marvelously readable and beautifully written. This is a book that should be read by anyone who is interested in Africa, by anyone who thinks they know all they need to know about Africa, and above all by anyone who has no interest in Africa at all. It will transform their views of the continent, its peoples and its histories. I cannot recommend it too strongly or praise it too highly.” — Sir David Cannadine, Dodge Professor of History, Emeritus, at Princeton University, and author of Ornamentalism: How the British Saw Their Empire “Zeinab Badawi’s remarkable new book lives up to her dependable standards of excellence. It takes the reader on an up-close-and-personal journey across this unique continent, seemingly holding your hand while uncovering extraordinary gems of truth as she allows previously untold stories to be heard.” — Margaret Busby
