Which 3 empires? Ghana - Mali - Songhai?

Obviously most (academic) sources start with these 3 empires.

Everything before that era (before approx.10th century AD) falls under archeology.

Try:

- Web Mande - Histoire.Peuples.Civilisations Mande,

administrated by historian Tierno Bah (Washington D.C.)

(Fulbright Scholar/Rockefeller Foundation Fellow/Internet Society Pioneer/Smithsonian Research Associate)

Other of Bah's sites: webAfriqa, webPulaaku, webFuuta, webCôte, webForêt, webGuinée, Camp Boiro Memorial, afriXML, BlogGuinée.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_West_Africa

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolof_Empire

Listed under "See also" numerous links to other regional civilisations and states.

A great book by the renowned historian Djibril Tamsir Niane on the history of Gambia from 13th century until the collapse of Kabuu in 1867:

"Histoire des Mandingues de l'Ouest" (le Royaume du Gabou) - Ed. Karthala-Paris - ISBN 2-86537-236-7

Compulsive reading for every Gambian, even if you have to learn French for it:)
