Ancient Africa surveys major African civilisations before the modern era, from the Nile kingdoms of Kush and the trading power of Aksum to the empires of the western Sahel and the scholarly centre of Timbuktu. It examines kingship, religion, warfare, long-distance trade and cultural exchange across a continent connected to the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean and trans-Saharan worlds. The book presents African history through its own states, cities and institutions rather than as a peripheral story.
