Paperback. Condizione: Fair. With his focus on pre-colonial Africa, Christopher Ehret provides in this volume a complete overview of African history. He examines African inventions and civilizations from 16,000 BCE to 1800 CE, from the northern tip of Tunisia to the Cape of Good Hope in the south. Organized by topic and era, it reveals the diversity of African history. It explores the wide range of social and cultural as well as technological and economic change in Africa, and it depicts African agricultural, social, political, cultural, technological and economic history in relation to developments in the rest of the world. This book could be fruitfully combined with histories of Africa since 1800 to build up a full and well-rounded understanding of the roles of Africa's people in human history. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. A panoramic narrative that places ancient Africa on the stage of world historyThis book brings together archaeological and linguistic evidence to provide a sweeping global history of ancient Africa, tracing how the continent played an important role in the technological, agricultural, and economic transitions of world civilization. Christopher Ehret takes readers from the close of the last Ice Age some ten thousand years ago, when a changing climate allowed for the transition from hunting and gathering to the cultivation of crops and raising of livestock, to the rise of kingdoms and empires in the first centuries of the common era.Ehret takes up the problem of how we discuss Africa in the context of global history, combining results of multiple disciplines. He sheds light on the rich history of technological innovation by African societies-from advances in ceramics to cotton weaving and iron smelting-highlighting the important contributions of women as inventors and innovators. He shows how Africa helped to usher in an age of agricultural exchange, exporting essential crops as well as new agricultural methods into other regions, and how African traders and merchants led a commercial revolution spanning diverse regions and cultures. Ehret lays out the deeply African foundations of ancient Egyptian culture, beliefs, and institutions and discusses early Christianity in Africa.A monumental achievement by one of today's eminent scholars, Ancient Africa offers vital new perspectives on our shared past, explaining why we need to reshape our historical frameworks for understanding the ancient world as a whole. …
