The Lost Cities Of Africa

The "New York Review of Books" has praised Basil Davidson as "the most effective popularizer of African history and archeology outside Africa, and certainly the one best trusted in Black Africa itself." "The Lost Cities of Africa" was the first book published in Davidson's highly praised series on African culture. Combining archeological evidence and scholarly research, Davidson traces the exciting development of the rich kingdoms of the lost cities of Africa, fifteen hundred years before European ships first came to African shores.
