An essential overview of great kingdoms in African history and their legacies, written by world-leading experts. From the ancient Nile Valley to the savannas of medieval West Africa, the highlands of Ethiopia and on to the forests, lakes and grasslands to the south, African civilizations have given rise to some of the world's most impressive kingdoms. Yet Africa's history is often little known beyond the devastation wrought by the slave trade and European colonial rule. In this groundbreaking new book, nine leading historians of Africa take a fresh look at these great kingdoms and empires over five thousand years of recorded history. How was kingship forged in Africa and how did it operate? Was dynastic power maintained by consent or by coercion? Did kings - and queens - display and project that power for all to see, or did they hide it away, as beneath the fringed crowns that concealed the faces of sacred Yoruba rulers? In what ways have African peoples themselves recorded, celebrated and critiqued the deeds of their kings? Great Kingdoms of Africa explores some of the most important questions in the continent's deep past. As elsewhere in the world, absolute monarchy in Africa has been on the wane in the modern era. Yet kingship continues to thrive within many present-day African nations, preserving deep-rooted ideas about culture, identity and sacred power. Presenting exciting developments in the understanding of how states and societies have interacted with each other across time, this book shows how powerful and sophisticated kingdoms have shaped the course of African history - and continue to do so in the present day.

Hubby is quite happy with this hoodie
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
We live in warmer climes, so DH wanted a pullover hoodie that was more like t-shirt material. This is fantastic- it's like a well-made t-shirt - like a thicker, better quality tee. He loves it. The fit was just right. There was no fading in the wash - I always wash clothes in cold water though, so ymmv. He was happy with the color I chose. When cool weather rolls around again, I will add some other colors to his collection - perfect lightweight pullover for him.

Soft, good fit, but pretty light so not very warm.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
My immediate gripe with this Hoodie is it's very light. Not gonna do a lot to keep you warm, which is what I was looking for. That said, it fits will and is pretty soft. If it lasts through being washed several times it was worth the $13.60 I paid for it. I probably should have guessed at that price that it couldn't be very heavy. I've never really understood the idea of light hoodies.

Strechy and silky
Color: Grey Heather, Size: X-Large
Super stretchy and very silky feeling. It’s the same look at the lulu hoodie with similar material, but it’s different fabric. Very stretchy very silky
