Peter S. Garlake; G. T. Hutchinson & A. Gordon-Brown - Lot de 3 livres sur l'Afrique de l'est : Great Zimbabwe / From the Cape to the Zambesi / The South - 1905-1973

This collection of three books offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and geography of East and Southern Africa through various periods of exploration, colonialism, and indigenous cultures between 1905 and 1973. "Great Zimbabwe" focuses on the renowned archaeological site in modern-day Zimbabwe, famous for its impressive stone ruins that testify to a sophisticated civilization thriving in the region from the 11th to 15th centuries. The second volume, "From the Cape to the Zambesi," likely traverses the southern African landscapes, offering insights into exploration, colonial boundaries, and natural history from South Africa's Cape region northwards to the Zambezi River. "The South - 1905-1973" covers historical developments during a significant era of political and social change in southern Africa, including colonial administration, independence movements, and cultural dynamics. Together, these works provide historical context, detailed accounts, and geographical surveys valuable for scholars, enthusiasts of African history, and those interested in the legacy of African civilizations and colonial encounters.
