Recently I needed to do some research on african history for school and I got into it. Do you have any recomendations on what and where I can read or watch to learn more? Right now I'm reading "Old Africa Rediscovered" by Basil Davidson and "African Religions and Philosophy" by John Mbiti
Do you need books on African history in general or are you also interested in books about particular topics in African history? The wiki has a list of books divided by region, era or topic.
A recent one is Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes by Barnaby Phillips. It touches on the Kingdom of Benin and the Benin bronzes.
An easily readable one is King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild about the Congo Free State.
