What is this new book about?
The book is a prequel to my previous book What Britain Did to Nigeria. Most books about Africa are about slavery or colonialism (i.e. a history of what Europeans did in Africa, rather than a history of Africans themselves). In contrast, this book will be about West Africa before its colonisation. Pre-colonial West Africa had a wonderful series of lore to rival those of ancient Greece and Rome, and was not part of a backward ‘dark continent’ as often portrayed.
Just like the Americas, Asia, and Europe, pre-colonial West Africa had its own mesmerising cast of revolutionaries, intellectuals, innovators, and villainous assassins. These include the family that inspired a revolution in the lands to which their ancestors migrated, overthrew three different kingdoms that had reigned for over 1000 years, created the biggest state in pre-colonial Africa, and when not causing revolutions; found time to write over 300 different books and pamphlets. There is also the royal court official who engineered the death of four kings that he worked for, and the little slave boy who became the first black bishop in history, a linguist, scholar, prolific writer, and met and befriended Queen Victoria and other leading members of the British aristocracy. This is a vital read for those who want to discover a forgotten era of West African history.
