Book Description:

Discusses a medieval African urban society as a product of interactions among African communities who inhabited the region between 100 BCE and 500 CE. Positioned as the gateway into and out of eastern Africa, the Swahili coast became a site through which people, inventions, and innovations bi-directionally migrated, were adopted, and evolved.
