Title: Euro-centric, pro-Christian non-history of Africa. Clarke and Davidson better sources.
Review: This books perceptive can be summed up from a sentence on page 94- "... from the eight to the fourteenth centuries [Africa] almost certainly gained more from her partial inclusion in the civilization of Islam than she lost from lack of contact with Europe, then passing through a dark age redeemed only by the surviving light of Christianity." Tragically for Africa and it's people, when the Europeans arrived in Africa, they used Christianity to rob Africans of their land, resources and Independence. Africa was carved up by European countries and have not recovered yet. Dr. John Henrik Clarke and Basil Davidson's books are true books about Africa and it's people, not Africa from a European perspective disguised as African history as this book purports to be.
