*AN INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* *A Radio 4 Book of the Week* *A Guardian Best Summer Read*
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.
