Su questo libro

Recensione:

"McIntosh′s contribution is an immensely scholarly and in some ways a subversive book. The great strength of McIntosh′s book is in its implicit demand that we re–examine the comfortable old taxonomies." History Today

"A splendid achievement ... this volume sets a new standard of thoroughness in the presentation of West African history." Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
