Description
Nubia, the often overlooked southern neighbour of Egypt, has been home to groups of vibrant and adaptive peoples for millennia.
This book explores the Nubians' religious, social, economic, and cultural histories, from their nomadic origins during the Stone Ages to their rise to power during the Napatan and Meroitic periods. It concludes with the recent struggles for diplomacy in North Sudan.
Situated among the ancient superpowers of Egypt, Aksum, and the Graeco-Roman world, Nubia's connections with these cultures shaped the country's history through colonialism and cultural entanglement. Sarah M. Schellinger presents the Nubians through their archaeological and textual remains, reminding readers that they were a rich and dynamic civilisation in their own right.

Nubia by Sarah Schellinger offers a comprehensive examination of the complex and diverse populations of the Middle Nile from the Palaeolithic to modern times. It is praised for its clear, jargon-free language and highlights Nubia's historical significance as an independent civilisation. This work sheds light on Nubia's dynamic relationship with Egypt, portraying it as an ancient world power, and addresses the ongoing legacy and diaspora of Nubian peoples amid contemporary conflicts.
