Unknown Author

4.9/5 (22073 ratings)

Description:Many of the authors herein are either Africans or live there. All do fieldwork there. The many essays allow not only a wide overview of development from c. 8000 BC to the present, but also some review chapters & in-depth studies. Contrary to common perception, it's intended that Africa's past should emerge as anything but a vast barren area, open to all extraneous influence, eager to welcome innovations & colonizers in order to be developed. Instead, the book aims to show that the continent emerges as the possessor of a complex interweaving of cultures, practising a diversity of economic & social strategies in a number of environments. In some areas, hunting & gathering was a successful adaptation. In some, pastoralism. In others, small agricultural communities. In still others, urbanism.
