A groundbreaking work that places early and medieval West Africa squarely on the map of global history, this book challenges prevailing narratives and presents a fresh perspective on the region's historical development.

In his meticulous exploration of the Savannah and Sahel region, Gomez delves into the intricate interplay between Islam's growth, intensifying commerce that included the trade of slaves, and the emergence of unique political experiments. These developments ultimately culminated in the rise of empires, marking a significant chapter in African history.
