About this eBook

Author How, Edith A.
Title People of Africa
Credits Produced by John Walker
Summary "People of Africa" by Edith A. How is a collection of educational essays written in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1920s. This work aims to introduce African children to the diverse cultures and peoples of the African continent. The book likely serves as a resource for understanding the customs, environments, and social structures within different regions of Africa. In "People of Africa," How explores a variety of African communities, highlighting their distinct lifestyles and traditions. The book begins with an overview of Egypt and its historical significance, connections to European nations, and the impact of Arab culture. It then transitions to the Sahara Desert, describing the lives of the Berbers, Bedouin, and Arab traders. Moving further south, How focuses on the Baganda people of Uganda, their governance, and the positive influences of European settlers. The narrative also addresses the individuals from the Congo and their transitional customs, contrasting them with the more established societies of South Africa. Through vivid descriptions and illustrations, How advocates for a better understanding among African peoples and encourages unity in their diverse experiences.
