Summary:
In this sweeping history, Paula Akpan takes us into the worlds of these powerful figures, following their stories and how they came to rule and influence the futures of their people. With reigns spanning pre-colonial Nigeria to the farming villages of Rwanda, the hills of Madagascar to apartheid South Africa, these ruler's stories offer us fascinating insight into life in these regions. Akpan shows how societies thrived, expanded and fractured before and outside of colonial influence, while also exposing the scars left behind following colonisation. In this game-changing narrative of 12 lives, Akpan takes us on a spellbinding, enrapturing and immersive history that is nothing short of revelatory.
