Sinopsis
'Poetic and fierce, this volume is a compelling modern-day journey into past histories of impressive African queens and leaders' Olivette Otele, author of African Europeans
'A rich, sumptuous and beautifully written tapestry of the past that makes my heart soar and ache all at once; this is the history we should have learned in schools' Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie
Njinga Mbande
Nana Yaa Asantewaa
Makobo Modjadji VI
Ranavalona the First
These queens and warriors ruled vast swathes of the African continent. They led, loved and fought for their kingdoms and people. They made decisions, good and bad, the impact of which can still be felt today. Yet, beyond the lands they called home, so few of us have ever heard their names.
In this sweeping history, Paula Akpan takes us into the worlds of these powerful figures, following their stories and how they came to rule and influence the futures of their people. With reigns spanning pre-colonial Nigeria to the farming villages of Rwanda, the hills of Madagascar to apartheid South Africa, these ruler's stories offer us fascinating insight into life in these regions. Akpan shows how societies thrived, expanded and fractured before colonial influence, while also exposing the deep scars colonisation left behind.
In this game-changing narrative of twelve lives, Akpan takes us on a spellbinding, enrapturing and immersive history that is nothing short of revelatory.

paperback. Condición: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
