An African History of Africa – Zeinab Badawi

An African History of Africa by Zeinab Badawi

An African History of Africa is Zeinab Badawi’s sweeping, authoritative, and deeply corrective retelling of Africa’s history—from the origins of humankind to modern independence movements. Tired of stories filtered through Western perspectives, Badawi travelled across more than thirty African countries to speak directly with historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and local storytellers. The result is an epic and vibrant account of Africa’s ancient civilisations, medieval empires, remarkable queens and kings, cultural achievements, and enduring resilience. Told through African voices, this book restores the continent to its rightful central place in world history. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
