On p439 when Woolf has the subheading of “Africa: Written History and Oral Tradition Revisited”, I thought to myself, “huh we haven’t talked about Africa in a minute.” The first sentence of the section then states, “Africa, which has not featured prominently in this book, so far”. WOOLF GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT! YOURE NOT WELCOME!!!

Woolf’s thesis states how history did not start in Europe but then precedes to explain Chinese, Islamic, and Japanese historiography using a German term. Amazing, thank you so much. I love it here. At least the first two chapters of this book have been 60% Europe, 15% Arabian peninsula, 15% China/Japan, and 10% other. World history my butt, GIVE ME INDIGENOUS HISTORIOGRAPHY UGH!
