During The Heyday Of Camel Caravan Trafficfrom The Eighth Century Ce Arrival Of Islam In North Africa To The Early Twentiethcentury Building Of European Colonial Railroads That Linked The Sudan With The Atlanticthe Sahara Was One Of The World'S Great Commercial Highways, Bringing Gold, Slaves, And Other Commodities Northward And Sending Both Manufactured Goods And Mediterranean Culture Southward Into The Sudan. Historian Ralph A. Austen Here Tells The Remarkable Story Of An African World That Grew Out Of More Than One Thousand Years Of Transsaharan Trading. Perhaps The Most Enduring Impact Of This Trade And The Common Cultural Reference Point Of Transsaharan Africa Was Islam. Austen Traces This Faith In Its Various Formsas A Legal System For Regulating Trade, An Inspiration For Reformist Movements, And A Vehicle Of Literacy And Cosmopolitan Knowledge. He Also Analyzes The Impact Of European Overseas Expansion, Which Marginalized Transsaharan Commerce In Global Terms But Stimulated Its Local Growth. Indeed, Transsaharan Culture Not Only Adapted To Colonial Changes, But Often Thrived Upon Them, Remaining A Potent Force Into The Twentyfirst Century.
