History of Africa

English

By (author): Robin Walker

A History of Africa takes an in-depth look at the rich and fascinating, but often unreported, history of the African continent through the ages.

From prehistoric Africa, through ancient Egypt to the African kingdoms, the slave trade, colonialism and countries' struggles for independence, right up to the modern-day continent, this book celebrates this vast continent and its people. The text is supported by strong, striking images and will include a section on teaching Black history.

Aimed at readers aged 9 and up.

The author, Robin Walker, is one of the world's leading authorities on African history. Published in 2006, his book When We Ruled is 'the most advanced historical synthesis on the history of Africa and its people', and has established Robin as the leading authority on the topic in the English-speaking world. Robin is also the author of the prize-winning Black History Matters.

Born in London Walker read economics at LSE before studying African World Studies under Dr Femi Biko and later Kenny Bakie. Since 1992 Robin has been lecturing in adult education, universities and conferences on African World Studies, Egyptology and Black History. Robin has authored or coauthored 13 books, including classic titles such as Classical Splendour, Roots of Black History Sword, Seal and Koran, the best study there has ever been on the Songhai Empire of West Africa (Everyday life in a West African Empire).
