Covers the history of the entire African continent, from prehistory to the present day A Companion to African History embraces the diverse regions, subject matter, and disciplines of the African continent, while also providing chronological and geographical coverage of basic historical developments. Two dozen essays by leading international scholars explore the challenges facing this relatively new field of historical enquiry and present the dynamic ways in which historians and scholars from other fields such as archaeology, anthropology, political science, and economics are forging new directions in thinking and research. Comprised of six parts, the book begins with thematic approaches to African history—exploring the environment, gender and family, medical practices, and more. Section two covers Africa’s early history and its pre-colonial past—early human adaptation, the emergence of kingdoms, royal power, and warring states. The third section looks at the era of the slave trade and European expansion. Part four examines the process of conquest—the discovery of diamonds and gold, military and social response, and more. Colonialism is discussed in the sixth section, with chapters on the economy transformed due to the development of agriculture and mining industries. The last section studies the continent from post World War II all the way up to modern times.

What wove the African continent into the rich fabric of cultures and peoples that it is today? Where did ancient culture, trade and civilization begin? How did the African people survive and thrive despite European colonization and apartheid? These are just some of the questions you'll find answers to in Africa: African History from Ancient Egypt to Modern South Africa. Africa is a vast continent whose waters, fertile lands, minerals, and diverse wildlife nurtured humankind since ancient times until European colonization and exploitation caused immeasurable suffering and loss. To understand how Africa developed, thrived, suffered, and emerged into the rich tapestry of peoples that it is today, take a trip back to the ancient River Nile and the East African coast. Witness the development of small settlements into three distinct cultures ; the Carthaginian Empire grow and flourish as an economic and commercial power ; the settlement of the Zimbabwe plateau and the construction of enormous stone cities ; the emergence of the Kingdom of Kongo and its expansion through peaceful trade and alliances ; the upheaval, atrocities, wars, and eventual stability created by European colonization ; the founding of the Congo Free State and the growth of forced labor to extract valuable resources from the land ; the decolonization of Africa and the return of territorial sovereignty and independence ; the forced racial segregation under apartheid and the birth of a new constitution that ended it ; the founding of the African Union to establish norms across the continent.

In a vast and all-embracing study of Africa, from the origins of mankind to the AIDS epidemic, John Iliffe refocuses its history on the peopling of an environmentally hostile continent. Africans have been pioneers struggling against disease and nature, and their social, economic and political institutions have been designed to ensure their survival. In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. Africans: The History of a Continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors.
