The volume provides a foundation for understanding how African history is studied and traces the earliest human presence and development across the continent.

ABSTRACT : General History of Africa, Volume 7: Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century examines the period through two main themes: the internal development of African states and cultures and the growing, yet ultimately destabilizing, impact of external trade. Key themes include the rise of Islam, expansion of trade networks, and development of kingdoms and empires, alongside the unforeseen global consequences of increasing African involvement in the international trade system.
