Abstract

Hillbom and Green strive to summarise almost nine centuries of pre-colonial history in one chapter. By necessity, they only touch the surface of the rich past. Nevertheless, it is an important endevour as they emphasise regional and local processes of change in terms of production, demography, political systems, social structures and trade. They present a time of which many people have limited knowledge and highlight the great variation found on the continent, spanning from describing nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to advances civilisations in centralised kingdoms. An important theme is how changes in land, labour and capital interact with changes in institutions and organization of production. With its broad range, the chapter provides a valuable base for the subsequent time periods.
