Acerca de esta escucha
Much is known about what Europeans did in Africa, yet very little is known about Africa's history before its colonization. In this surprising exploration, Max Siollun uncovers societies that were not part of a backward "Dark Continent," but which instead had rich lore to rival the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Precolonial West Africa had a mesmerizing cast of revolutionaries, intellectuals, innovators, and villainous assassins. These include the family that overthrew three different 1000-year-old empires, the royal court official who engineered the death of four kings, and the young enslaved boy who became the first Black bishop in history, befriending Queen Victoria along the way.
This story of a dynamic and artistic people is a vital listen for those who want to discover a forgotten era of West Africa.
The narration on Audible is clear and compelling, making the complex subject matter accessible. However, the frequent mispronunciation of indigenous names and terms is a glaring and disappointing flaw in an otherwise excellent production. Accurate pronunciation is not just a matter of respect; it’s essential to the integrity of such a culturally significant work. Despite this, the audiobook remains a valuable resource, and I look forward to more of Max Siollun’s work on Audible.
Great book and excellent narration
