Focuses on the Aksumite state of the first millennium AD in northern Ethiopia and southern Eritrea, its development, florescence and eventual transformation into the so-called medieval civilisation of Christian Ethiopia. This book seeks to apply a common methodology, utilising archaeology, art-history, written documents and oral tradition from a wide variety of sources; the result is a far greater emphasis on continuity than previous studies have revealed. It is thus a major re-interpretation of a key development in Ethiopia's past, while raising and discussing methodological issues of the relationship between archaeology and other historical disciplines; these issues, which have theoretical significance extending far beyond Ethiopia, are discussed in full. The last millennium BC is seen as a time when northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea were inhabited by farming peoples whose ancestry may be traced far back into the local 'Late Stone Age'. Colonisation from southern Arabia, to which defining importance has been attached by earlier researchers, is now seen to have been brief in duration and small in scale, its effects largely restricted to élite sections of the community. Re-consideration of inscriptions shows the need to abandon the established belief in a single 'Pre-Aksumite' state. New evidence for the rise of Aksum during the last centuries BC is critically evaluated. Finally, new chronological precision is provided for the decline of Aksum and the transfer of centralised political authority to more southerly regions. A new study of the ancient churches - both built and rock-hewn - which survive from this poorly-understood period emphasises once again a strong degree of continuity across periods that were previously regarded as distinct. David W. Phillipson is Emeritus Professor of African Archaeology and former Director of the University Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, Cambridge. In 2014 he was made an Associate Fellow of the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences. Published in association with the British Institute in Eastern Africa. Ethiopia: Addis Ababa University Press

Hebrewisms Of West Africa written by Joseph J. Williams and has been published by Black Classic Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with History categories.
In this massive work, Joseph J. Williams documents the Hebraic practices, customs, and beliefs, which he found among the people of Jamaica and the Ashanti of West Africa. He initially examines the close relationship between the Jamaican and the Ashanti cultures and the folk beliefs. He then studies the language and culture of the Ashanti (of whom many Jamaicans have descended) by comparing them to well known and established Hebraic traditions. William's findings suggest stunning similarities. And, he challenges the reader by concluding that Hebraic traditions must have swept across "negro Africa" and left its influence "among the various tribes." While Williams presents a strong case, his evidence, including hundreds of quoted sources, also builds a strong case for the reverse--that an indigenous, continent-wide belief system among African people stands at the very root of Hebrew culture and Western religion. First published in 1931 and long out-of-print, today's reader will find Hebrewisms a valuable resource for understanding the cultural unity of African people.

Medieval art history has long emphasized the glories of the Byzantine Empire, but less known are the profound artistic contributions of Nubia, Egypt, Ethiopia, and other powerful African kingdoms whose pivotal interactions with Byzantium had an indelible impact on the medieval Mediterranean world. Bringing together more than 170 masterworks in a range of media and techniques—from mosaic, sculpture, pottery, and metalwork to luxury objects, panel paintings, and religious manuscripts—Africa and Byzantium recounts Africa’s centrality in transcontinental networks of trade and cultural exchange. With incisive scholarship and new photography of works rarely or never before seen in public, this long-overdue publication sheds new light on the staggering artistic achievements of late antique Africa. It reconsiders northern and eastern Africa’s contributions to the development of the premodern world and offers a more complete history of the region as a vibrant, multiethnic society of diverse languages and faiths that played a crucial role in the artistic, economic, and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond.

As a 'Medieval Warm Period' prevailed in Western Europe during the tenth and eleventh centuries, the eastern Mediterranean region, from the Nile to the Oxus, was suffering from a series of climatic disasters which led to the decline of some of the most important civilizations and cultural centres of the time. This provocative study argues that many well-documented but apparently disparate events - such as recurrent drought and famine in Egypt, mass migrations in the steppes of central Asia, and the decline in population in urban centres such as Baghdad and Constantinople - are connected and should be understood within the broad context of climate change. Drawing on a wealth of textual and archaeological evidence, Ronnie Ellenblum explores the impact of climatic and ecological change across the eastern Mediterranean in this period, to offer a new perspective on why this was a turning point in the history of the Islamic world.

Le thème central du 3e congrès de l'Association des historiens africains tenu à Bamako du 10 au 14 septembre 2001 offrait le double avantage d'englober la plupart des domaines de recherches historiques et d'ouvrir sur les débats d'actualité qui engagent l'avenir. Dans un monde plus que jamais unifié, notamment par le marché, et marqué également par le paradoxe apparent de la marginalisation et des exclusions, les historiens se devaient d'apporter leur contribution à la compréhension de la mondialisation, concept relativement récent qui recouvre des réalités résultant d'un processus historique de longue portée. Les contributions présentées au congrès de Bamako, ouvert aux historiens de toutes origines, s'articulent, au-delà de leur grande diversité, autour de quelques grandes préoccupations. Elles tentent d'abord d'établir un bilan critique de l'historiographie africaine de ces dernières années, suscitant ainsi le débat sur l'exercice du métier d'historien, et son " utilité " éventuelle. Quelle histoire ? Pour quel public ? Et pour quoi faire ? De la réponse à ces questions dépend en partie la pertinence de nos approches de la mondialisation. La plupart des approches présentées dans l'ouvrage s'attachent à mettre en lumière le caractère récurrent et dynamique de la mondialisation qui change de forme selon les différents " temps " que sont les séquences historiques marquées au cours de la période dite " moderne " par la traite atlantique, la colonisation ou plus récemment, la vague de néolibéralisme. Toutes ces séquences ont lourdement pesé sur le destin de l'Afrique. En faisant le constat, les analyses n'occultent nullement la question de la " responsabilité " des Africains dans ces évolutions. Les contributions ouvrent enfin sur les perspectives africaines de la mondialisation actuelle. Les enjeux, le défi de la réalisation effective de l'unité africaine, les perspectives ouvertes à cet effet par la création récente de l'Union africaine et la contribution possible des sciences sociales au renforcement d'une conscience historique africaine en faveur de cette intégration sont autant de thèmes abordés que de chantiers ouverts.
