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
Start your study of the struggles and triumphs of the African people today with Africa: African History from Ancient Egypt to Modern South Africa.

The Portuguese Inquisition, the ousting of Spanish Jews to west Africa, the Lemba, the Catholic Church's interest in Africa, the selling of slaves other than wars and prisoners, the great empires, how they rose and where they are now.
The old names of the countries that were changed all over Africa after the 19th century, not just some.
There are more questions than answers.
Truly a book that could be written from Wikipedia and not from the libraries of ancient records like the Vatican and Oxford.
Such a pity
It's a shame
