The World of the Swahili: An African Mercantile Civilization Book

Drawing on his own field research and on earlier writings on the Swahili, Middleton describes this centuries-old mercantile culture-its local and descent groupings, marriage patterns, religion, and values-and shows how their sense of their unique identity enables them to persist as an ongoing civilization despite many years of colonization.Read More
