West Africa Before Europe And Other Addresses: Delivered In England In 1901 And 1903 (1905) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165145119)

West Africa Before Europe And Other Addresses: Delivered In England In 1901 And 1903 is a book written by Edward Wilmont Blyden and published in 1905. The book is a collection of speeches and lectures that Blyden gave in England in 1901 and 1903. Blyden was a prominent African intellectual and a leading advocate for Pan-Africanism, which sought to unite people of African descent around the world. In this book, Blyden discusses the history and culture of West Africa before the arrival of Europeans, arguing that the region had a rich and sophisticated civilization that was often overlooked or dismissed by Europeans. He also discusses the importance of education and the role of African leaders in promoting progress and development in their communities. The book provides a valuable insight into the thinking of one of the most important African intellectuals of the early 20th century, and his vision for a united and prosperous Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
