Bantu Art and Culture

About the Book

Bantu Art and Culture is a book about how the East, Central, and South African cultures have merged from the precolonial period until the late twentieth century. Fled from the north of Africa after the great kingdom of Egypt fell apart, these civilizations settled themselves around the Nile to create new nations known as the Kongo, Bamoun, Kuba, Lunda, Bamileke, Monomotapa, Ngola-Dongo-Matamba, and Zulu kingdoms. In this book, the reader will explore the settings of each empire through its politics, art, music, customs, as well as the role of each individual living in the African society.
