Ancient Civilizations of Africa
The idea for an eight-volume General History of Africa, with major emphasis on the African point of view, was first announced at the inaugural meeting of the International Congress of African Studies in Accra in 1961.

Some of Marcus Garvey's dreams about African redemption were being realized. In his lifetime, he was a man who had a stubborn belief in the impossible, and came close to achi…

Third Class on the Blue Train to Kumasi
THE NIGHT BEFORE my departure for Kumasi most of the families in the apartment compound, in Jamestown, the Ga community of Accra, Ghana, had ventured to my small room and wished me safe journey. Soon after I arrived to live among them they readily adopted me and became concerned about all of my activities during my mission. Someone jokingly forewarned me against the Ashantis of Kumasi. Many years ago they were the traditional enemies of the Ga pe…
The Old Congo
ancient and medieval history like the Tarikh es or the Tarikh el Fettach of the Western Sudan (West Africa). The early travelers to these areas are mostly unknown.

The African writer, Abderrahman EsSa'di, in his great work, Tarikh es-Sudan (History of the Sudan), says that Timbuctoo was founded at the end of the fifth century after the Hegira (Muslim calendar) which corresponds with the eleventh century of our era.
