African historiography has typically consisted of writing Africa for Europe - instead of writing Africa for itself, as itself, from its own perspectives. The History of Africa redresses this by letting the perspectives of Africans themselves take center stage." "Authoritative and comprehensive, this book provides a wide-ranging history of Africa from earliest prehistory to the present day - using the cultural, social, political, and economic lenses of Africa as instruments to illuminate the ordinary lives of Africans. The result is a fresh new survey that includes a wealth of indigenous ideas, African concepts, and traditional outlooks that have escaped the writing of African history in the West."--BOOK JACKET. 000694492 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000694492 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xHistory. 000694492 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xCivilization. 000694492 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAsante, Molefi Kete, 1942-$$tHistory of Africa.$$dNew York ; London : Routledge, 2007$$z9780415771382$$z9780415771399$$w(DLC) 2006021528$$w(OCoLC)70291948 000694492 8520_ $$bacq 000694492 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000694492 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1020240$$zOnline Access 000694492 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694492$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694492 980__ $$aEBOOK 000694492 980__ $$aBIB 000694492 982__ $$aEbook 000694492 983__ $$aOnline
