"For too long Africa has been the dark continent in the history of American foreign relations. Recent debate over the importance of human rights, however, has focused attention on that continent.

Before the middle of the sixteenth century, the English derived their ideas of Africa from the Bible and the classical historians. These ancient sources continued to be sited long after English marines had visited Africa but had published accounts of their voyages.
