*AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**A Radio 4 Book of the Week* Selected as a book to look out
for in 2024 by the Guardian and The Rest is Politics Everyone is originally from Africa  and
this book is therefore for everyone. 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 civilisations and medieval
empires with remarkable queens and kings  to the miseries of conquest and the elation of
independence. Visiting more than thirty African countries to interview countless historians 
anthropologists  archaeologists and local storytellers  she unearths buried histories from
across the continent and gives Africa its rightful place in our global story. The result is a
gripping new account of Africa: an epic  sweeping history of the oldest inhabited continent on
the planet  told through the voices of Africans themselves.
