Why has Africa remained persistently poor over its recorded history? Has Africa always been poor? What has been the nature of Africa's poverty and how do we explain its origins? This volume takes a necessary interdisciplinary approach to these questions by bringing together perspectives from archaeology, linguistics, history, anthropology, political science, and economics. Several contributors note that Africa's development was at par with many areas of Europe in the first millennium of the Common Era. Why Africa fell behind is a key theme in this volume, with insights that should inform Africa's developmental strategies.

It treats of commerce as affected by geographical factors, and not only gives a reasoned account of how these factors operate in the production, transport and exchange of commodities, but also considers the settlement of lands and the economic problems arising from the distribution of the different races of mankind.
