The second volume moves the series beyond the realm of conjecture based on scant evidence firmly into the era of written history. Unfortunately, the written records are not evenly distributed, but heavily focused on the Mediterranean coast. The long period witnessed the rise and fall of the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic hegemony. The area witnessed the rapid spread of Christianity and quick eclipse by Islam. Ethiopia and Sudan have more extensive historical records, due in large part to their proximity to Northern Africa. The rise of an independent Christian state in Ethiopia stands out in an areas that became increasingly dominated by Islamic expansion. Areas south of the Sahara in particular resemble the evidence and analysis present in the first volume for the prehistory of the continent and its inhabitants. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

After the prehistory of Volume I, Volume II of The Cambridge History of Africa deals with the beginnings of history. It is about 500 BC that historical sources begin to embrace all Africa north of the Sahara and, by the end of the period, documentation is also beginning to appear for parts of sub-Saharan Africa. North of the Sahara, this situation arises since Africans were sharing in the major civilizations of the Mediterranean world. It is shown that these northern Africans were not simply passive recipients of Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Arab influences, or of the great religions and cultures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam coming from the Semitic world. They adapted these things to their own particular needs and purposes, and sometimes too contributed to their general development. But the North African civilization failed to make headway south of the Sahara. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
