FWIW I recently read An African History of Africa by Zeinab Badawi and I enjoyed it a lot. It’s a good primer for those (like me) totally uneducated about Africa’s history and civilisations. It’s a pretty accessible and anti-colonialist overview. The approach is quite normie historian (focus on Kings, Queens, wars etc) and the author has pretty takes towards the end but still very worth it imo.
