A NEW narrative history by a leading scholar places Africa in a global context.

Award-winning historian Robert Harms offers a contemporary history of Africa—one that reflects the continent’s cultural richness and diversity while presenting its history in a global context. A chronological narrative covers the origins of humankind to the present, focusing on similarities and differences across regions and the continent as a whole. A stunning full-colour design engages the reader with primary sources, images and maps, and instructor resources enhance the teaching experience.

Robert Harms is Henry J. Heinz Professor of History & African Studies at Yale University. He is the author of several award winning books, including River of Wealth, River of Sorrow: The Central Zaire Basin in the Era of the Slave and Ivory Trade (1981), Games Against Nature: An Eco-Cultural History of the Nunu of Equatorial Africa (1988/1999), and his much celebrated book The Diligent: Worlds of the Slave Trade (2001), which is based on the extraordinary journal of French lieutenant Robert Durand, who participated in the slave trade.
