Basil Davidson says, 'So I have taken three important areas of Africa - those of the old Congo Kingdom, of the city-states of the East Coast, and some of the strong societies of the Guinea Coast - and examined those against a general background of their time and circumstance. Inevitably, this means a fresh look at the overseas slave trade, the steady year-by-year export of African labor to the West Indies and the Americas that marked the greatest and most fateful migration - forced migration - in the history of man.
