Book

Medieval West Africa : views from Arab scholars and merchants / edited by Nehemia Levtzion and Jay Spaulding.

Levtzion, Nehemia, (editor.). Spaulding, Jay, (editor.).

Summary:

In this volume are English translations of primary sources upon which much modern knowledge about the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, Kanem-Borno, and their neighbors depends. Here is the story of the conversion of the western Sudan to Islam, as well as accounts of the famous medieval gold trade, testimonies about the pilgrimage of Mansa Musa, and insightful introductions to many other less familiar personalities, activities, and events.
