Summary: This book contains the history of the relations between the Arabs and African peoples that date back to remote ages. Arab colonization of Africa ? at least of a relevant part of Africa ? preceded by many centuries the European one, culminated at the end of the XIX century with the partition of Africa. The two colonizations shared some of the negative and positive aspects of this phenomenon. On the one hand, promotion of trade, urbanization, modern know-how for social and economic development. On the other hand, destruction of pre-existing cultures, land-expropriations, slave trade. However, Arab colonization differed from the European one for the absence of a racial bias which facilitated in the long-run a deep process of amalgamation between colonizers and colonized peoples and created in some cases new cultures, in which some aspects of native civilizations were still alive. In a nutshell, it examines the aspect of economic relationship between the two continents.
