The anthology highlights the overlooked history of African states prior to European colonialism, particularly focusing on south-eastern Africa. It critiques the dominance of 19th and 20th-century white researchers in this field and emphasizes the emergence of a new generation of African scholars following Zimbabwe's independence. Their contributions have often been marginalized in European literature, revealing a significant gap in the understanding of Africa's rich historical context during the medieval period.
