Already a major international bestseller, Zeinab Badawi’s sweeping and much-needed survey of African history traces the continent’s extraordinary legacy from prehistory to the present from the African perspective. “Equal parts gripping and galvanizing. . . . Researched across more than 30 countries, it brings the dazzling civilizations of pre-colonial Africa vividly to life. A book that feels both long-overdue—and wholly worth the wait.” —British Vogue Everyone is originally from Africa, and this book is therefore for everyone. For too long, Africa’s history has been dominated by western narratives of slavery and colonialism, or simply ignored. Now, Zeinab Badawi sets the record straight. In this fascinating book, Badawi guides us through Africa’s spectacular history—from the very origins of our species, through ancient civilizations and medieval empires with remarkable queens and kings, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence. Visiting more than thirty African countries to interview countless historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and local storytellers, she unearths buried histories from across the continent and gives Africa its rightful place in our global story. The result is a gripping new account of Africa: an epic, sweeping history of the oldest inhabited continent on the planet, told through the voices of Africans themselves.
Born in Sudan, Zeinab Badawi is President of the University of London’s SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) and an award-winning broadcaster, journalist, and filmmaker. She was previously Chair of the Royal African Society. Badawi is a recipient of the President’s Medal of the British Academy; an honorary fellow of her alma mater, St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford; a Patron of the United Nations Association UK; and is on the boards of the Mandela Institute for Development Studies, the International Crisis Group, and Afrobarometer. An African History of Africa is her first book.
