Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In providing a deep history of Africa, from 70,000 BCE to 300 CE, Ehret traces how the continent played an important role in the technological, agricultural, and economic transitions of world civilization. A framing chapter introduces the historical goals and issues of the book, recounting the terrible histories of recent centuries that led to Africa being wrongly treated as a peripheral other in the history of us all. Throughout his book, Ehret offers vital new perspectives on our shared past, and explains why we need to reshape our historical frameworks for understanding the ancient world as a whole. -- adapted from jacket
