Sinopsis

Trade Monopolies explores pre-colonial Africa's economic history, revealing how control over essential resources shaped empires and influenced political power. The book argues that trade monopolies, particularly in salt, gold, and ivory, were central to state formation and economic systems. Intriguingly, these resources were not merely commodities; their control was deeply intertwined with political strategies and social structures. The book uniquely emphasizes the internal dynamics of African economies, showcasing the strategic decision-making of African societies rather than portraying them as passive recipients of external forces. The book's approach is both historical and economic, drawing from diverse sources like Arabic chronicles and archaeological evidence. Structured in three parts, the book begins by introducing the concept of trade monopolies and then examines specific case studies, such as the salt trade in the Sahara and the gold trade in West Africa. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to draw broader conclusions about their long-term consequences, including impacts on social stratification and inter-regional conflict.

    Queens of the Age of Chivalry

    Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies, yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex, as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of England's fourteenth-century consorts. 
     
    Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. 
     
    The turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women. 
     
    "Stunning... [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never before. I just raced through it - it has all the drama and suspense of a novel." - Tracy Borman, praise for Queens of Crusades
