| Plot Summary of Wonders of the African World |
|---|
"Contrary to what is assumed about "the Dark Continent," Africa is a land filled with an exciting past. Dr. Gates traveled the length of the continent, interviewing the unique inhabitants and experiencing the awe and splendor of time's past. A magnificently illustrated and compelling written work, the book is a true "labor of love," for the author paints a rich and thought-provoking portrait of the continent's people(s) and their social, architectural, and religious heritage."
Reginald D. Garrard, Resident Scholar
