"
Art
historian Suzanne Blier surveys over 150,000 years of
African
art
, set against the changing
history
of the continent, customs and religions, postcolonial debates and the challenges of the present. Core themes in
African
visual and cultural expression are examined in detail, including trade, empire expansion, gender, the body and representations of power, across meaningful chapters spanning ancient
art
, the Middle Ages, Early Modern, the colonial era and contemporary
art
. Written from an inclusive, modern perspective, focusing not only on royal traditions but also on the broader global
history
of the continent and its artistic practices, The

explains the complexity and multiplicity of an underexplored but essential subject of
art
history
