UNESCO’s General History of Africa project was launched in 1964 with a clear goal: to tell the history of Africa from an African perspective. Over the years, more than 550 African and international experts contributed to this body of work, culminating with three new volumes released in 2025. Today, UNESCO is bringing this rich corpus to classrooms worldwide.
