Description

Combining history, archaeology, anthropology, and linguistics, Bantu Africa: 3500 BCE to Present, synthesizes current scholarship on one of the vital necessary cultural zones in world history–an area larger than the US–whose traditions span a number of thousand years. The authors show how Bantu cultural ideas continue to shape up to date realities in new contexts. By examining the cultural, political, religious, economic, and social issues within the Bantu world, Bantu Africa gives students an understanding of the long-term history of a big cultural zone. The book also addresses the kinds of social relationships Bantu-speaking people had with people of distinct linguistic and cultural traditions, the types of innovations that came out of those cross-cultural interactions, the tactics they used to negotiate societal tensions, the ways through which gender and seniority dynamics influenced societal institutions, and the extent to which Bantu-speaking people shaped Atlantic and Indian Ocean History.
