"Got this book for Christmas a dozen years ago and finally got around to reading it. This is a survey of African archealogy and written records (mostly by Arabs and Portuguese) of Iron Age African Civilizations and Cities. Anyone interested in Archeaology, history, cultural exchange and the medieval period will like this. Despite being 50 years old, it is a well written, quick read.."
"I was fascinated with Great Zimbabwe in high school. I think it might have been what got me hooked on anthropology - the realization that I'd heard so much about most of the Great Civilizations in Asia, Europe and Latin America and nothing about the ones in pre-colonial Africa."
