African History

African History Feature Writer: Tongkeh Joseph Fowale

Writing and History are my passions.

In Suite101's African History section you can find articles about:

- African History from the Original Settlers of Liberia to the Ghana Empires.

-Indigenous African History from the famous African Kingdoms to Cultures centered on Gold.

-Modern African History of Shaka Zulu to Ox-Wagon Transport in Southern Africa

-African Independence

-Modern African History from the Congo-Brazzaville to the origins of Kwanzaa.

Africa's rich written history begins during the Egyptian Civilization. The challenge of documenting Africa's history is that there are periods of time that were not written down. Suite101's African History will help you understand Africa and get to know it as we do. There is much to love there and of course so much to learn.
