Ibn Battuta in Black Africa

---

Outline: Abu Abdalla ibn Battuta (1304-1354), considered by many to be the greatest pre-modern traveler, twice penetrated deep into black Africa. In 1331 he traversed the east coast and in 1351-52 traveled from Morocco through the Sahara to the Niger. He told of wealthy, multi-cultural trading centers on the east coast, such as Mombasa and Kilwa, and recalled warm hospitality in Mogadishu. Upon visiting the court of Mansa Musa, the king legendary for his vast prosperity, Ibn Battuta wrote disapprovingly of sexual integration in families and "hostility toward the white man." One of the most important documents about black Africa written by a non-European medieval historian, this narrative provides a unique view of the high culture, pride, and independence of black African states in the fourteenth century.
