Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba

(3) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. This fictional diary of the unconventional sixteenth-century warrior queen of Angola wisely stays close to known facts, yet manages to bring out the story of a girl learning to abhor slavery and fight the Portuguese invasion. One third of the book is taken up with generous background and source information, dark black-and-white contemporary photos, maps, and historical engravings. Glos.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
