About the Book
Caravans played a crucial role in the trade networks that linked the Mediterranean with sub-Saharan Africa, particularly across the vast Sahara Desert. These caravans, often consisting of hundreds of camels and their handlers, traversed the harsh desert to transport goods such as gold, salt, and textiles. Trade routes through the Sahara facilitated the exchange of valuable commodities. North African traders brought salt, textiles, and metal goods southward, while sub-Saharan merchants transported gold, ivory, and slaves northward. This trade was not only vital for the economies of the involved regions but also for the cultural and technological exchanges that enriched the societies on both sides of the desert. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of caravans and Saharan trade. The topics included in this book are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on caravans and trade.Book Synopsis
