Accessible and interesting study of Egypt's neighbours to the south over 3,000 years from the A Group to the arrival of Christianity in the Sixth Century AD. KMT Magazine says of this book; "of the several book treatments of these cultures appearing in the 1980s, the present volume is easily the most accesssible and concise. reading it one has the sensation of encountering a wholly alien, yet thoroughly fascinating civilsation for the first time. Afrocentrists take note".
