Description:
This is an unread copy of African Kingdoms, part of the Great Ages of Man series which Time-Life Books began publishing in the 60s. This book was written in 1967 by the British historian Basil Davidson (1914-2010); Time-Life's editors updated it and it was republished in 1980.This book was well received. Reviews say it's very progressive and takes pains to point out the flaws in many traditional ideas about African culture and history, including the perspective that Africa is one large monolithic culture. It's a good place to start if you're someone who wants a basic grasp of African history.
It's 8 3/4" x 10 3/4". 191 pages, including loads of photos.
Pristine condition.
