Ibn Battuta in Black Africa by Ibn Battuta
Abu Abdalla ibn Battuta (1304-1354) was one of the greatest travellers of pre-modern times. This is his report of black Africa, a document of the high culture, pride and independence of black African states in the 14th century. He writes disapprovingly of sexual integration in families.
Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) was one of the first great travellers in world history – a century before Marco Polo. He was a scholar of Islamic law and found employment all over the Muslim world as a traveling judge or advisor to the rulers. He travelled to medieval Ghana, Mecca, India, and China and wrote his travel stories after his return to his native Tangier, Morocco, which were widely translated numerous times from Arabic.
