If you’re looking for a place that straddles the equator, that boasts the longest river in the world, the most famous desert, an enormous rainforest, and so much more, it’s Africa. The passage through this unit takes you back to the continent’s 5,000-year history and catapults you back to the present. You’ll explore the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mali, Songhai, and Zimbabwe.
You’ll become acquainted with humankind’s very first works of art, tens of thousands of years old, and the art of Africa through the ages. You’ll trace the causes and effects of European contact with the people and places of the continent. And you’ll explore some of the most interesting countries and locations of the present day.
Readers who trace their ancestry here – and others – may want to dive into details about the European countries’ scramble for a stake in Africa, about their attitudes and actions, about the Middle Passage of the slave trade, and beyond. Visually oriented readers and those interested in the arts will want to dwell on the images of ancient and modern art and architecture, while armchair travelers can enjoy images and information about features that make selected locations noteworthy. At the same time, budding naturalists will find plenty to explore in the environments and plant and animal life of the continent. This is a trip through Africa readers will want to take again and again.
