Even within the same countries, different policies appear to have been pursued in different periods, in keeping with differing circumstances. Case studies inquire from diverse vantage points how this heritage has been coped with discursively and materially. Importantly, readers will find that it is almost impossible to disentangle these two levels of action.

Written in 1793 by Count Volney, this book was considered somewhat controversial. Volney had little problem establishing from firsthand observations and study that early Nile Valley Africans had in fact provided a basis for the civilization of his time. This book remains a profound and helpful reference for those who are trying to gain undistorted access to the African past.
