Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Newman's 'geographic interpretation' of the peopling of Africa examines the role of genetics and religion in population distribution themes, considering how Africans have responded to changing environmental circumstances and using an interdisciplinary approach to consider how states and empires have evolved and changed. This scholarly discussion will appeal to any who want a different interpretation of African migration patterns.
