Acerca de esta escucha
Immerse yourself in the intricate story of Africa and discover Africa's true place in world history.
Spanning more than 200,000 years, from the emergence of the first humans to the rise of megacities, Africa explores the history and cultures of the world's second-largest continent in vivid detail. It brings to life the stories that shaped Africa and the world around it, from powerful empires and kingdoms such as Mali and Benin, through the struggle against colonisation and the fight for independence, to Africa's place on the global stage today.
You will meet some of Africa's most important leaders, from Hannibal and Queen Njinga to Nelson Mandela and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Engaging text written and authenticated by experts of African heritage covers every facet of African cultures, from music and literature to religions and languages.
Unparalleled in scope, Africa is the perfect audiobook for anyone who is looking to deepen their understanding of Africa's vital and inspiring history.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 41
For too long, Africa’s history has been dominated by western narratives of slavery and colonialism, or simply ignored. Now, Zeinab Badawi sets the record straight. In this fascinating book, Badawi guides us through Africa’s spectacular history—from the very origins of our species, through ancient civilizations and medieval empires with remarkable queens and kings, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 46
African Founders explores the little-known history of how enslaved people from different regions of Africa interacted with colonists of European origins to create new regional cultures in the colonial United States. The Africans brought with them linguistic skills, novel techniques of animal husbandry and farming, and generations-old ethical principles, among other attributes. This startling history reveals how much our country was shaped by these African influences in its early years, producing a new distinctly American culture.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 99
Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers such as the Nile and the Niger.
