Produktbeschreibung

What if the greatest civilizations the world has ever known existed long before colonialism - right here in Africa? AFRICA BEFORE COLONIALISM: A Comprehensive Study of Precolonial Societies, Culture, and Civilization unveils a world of kingdoms, scholars, builders, and innovators who shaped the course of human history long before Europe's arrival. Journey into an Africa of brilliance - where the empires of Mali, Ghana, and Songhai traded gold across the desert; where Nubia and Egypt built monuments to science, faith, and governance; and where Great Zimbabwe stood as a testament to architectural genius and unity. This deeply researched and vividly written work by Samuel M. Goldstein brings to life the societies that flourished across the continent, revealing how their philosophies, art, commerce, and political systems rivaled - and often surpassed - those of the ancient world. Readers will discover:The complex political structures that guided African empires with wisdom and justice. The scientific, artistic, and spiritual traditions that defined Africa's cultural identity. The trade networks that connected Africa to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe long before colonial expansion. The enduring legacy of precolonial civilizations that continue to influence Africa today. Through clear narrative and powerful storytelling, AFRICA BEFORE COLONIALISM reclaims a history too often overlooked. It invites readers to see Africa not through the shadow of colonialism but through the brilliance of its own light - as the cradle of humanity and a center of civilization. Rediscover Africa's story - the real story - of strength, creativity, and enduring legacy. Begin your journey through time today.
