African Beginnings by James S. Haskins Kathleen Benson Floyd Cooper

		From the ancient kingdom of Kush, whose black pharaohs ruled Egypt for nearly a century, to the kingdom of Ghana, where between A.D. 450 and 1230 more gold was traded than anywhere else in the world, to the legendary fifteenth-century metropolis of Benin, where houses were made of red clay polished to such a high luster that it looked like marble, the African continent rang with a series of glorious civilizations that have had a lasting impact on the world's history, and on American culture. Meticulously researched by both the authors and the artist, this fascinating introduction to Africa's ancient empires is illustrated with breathtaking paintings that evoke all the richness and wonder of the complex, dynamic history of Africa.
