Pick up almost any book on early and medieval world history and empire, and where do you find West Africa? On the periphery. This pioneering book tells a different story. Interweaving political and social history and drawing on a rich array of sources, Michael Gomez unveils a new vision of how categories of ethnicity, race, gender, and caste emerged in Africa and in global history.

Irritatingly wordy and stilted in its prose. Complex ideas require complex phrasing, but the author’s insistence on using complex phrasing and “big words” to express even the simplest ideas became so grating that I found myself irritated at even minor choices like using “nomenclature” when “name” or “title” would have been just as clear.
