Summary
:
Islam arrived in North Africa in the
seventh century. The interactions between the new civilization,
with its substantial religious component, and African cultural
traditions in the regions of the North and West are covered
in this volume. The Bantu expansion, which changed the demographic
and language map of central and southern Africa, took place
at the same time. The substantial contact which already existed
between Africa and the rest of the world is discussed in this
volume. |
