About This Book

The work surveys successive external influences on the African continent from prehistoric migrations through ancient Mediterranean settlements, Islamic expansions, and later European imperial ventures. It traces patterns of settlement, trade, and administrative change introduced by Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Arab, and later colonial arrivals, and discusses racial and population movements, including coastal and island colonizations. Chapters combine narrative history with maps and chapter-end notes to illustrate political boundaries and areas of racial mixing. The text explains how successive waves of external contact reshaped local polities, economies, and administrative systems across different regions of the continent.

Note. The spelling of African names adopted throughout this book is the system sanctioned by the Royal Geographical Society, by which all consonants are pronounced as in English and all vowels as in Italian. Ñ, ñ represents the nasal sound of ‘ng’ in ‘ringing,’ ‘song,’ as distinguished from the ‘ng’ in ‘anger.’ No consonants are doubled unless pronounced twice in succession: thus ‘Massowah’ is properly written Masawa. But where old established custom has sanctioned a spelling diverging from these rules the official spelling of the name is adopted. Thus: Moçambique instead of Msambiki; Quelimane instead of Kelimān; Uganda as well as the more correct Buganda; Bonny instead of Obani.
