Southern Nilotic Speakers Seeking the Kenyan Highlands
Map Creator:
James L. Newman
Source: 1995. The Peopling of Africa. New Haven: Yale University Press. 168.
Date Created: 1995
Map Description:
According to James L. Newman, the interior of East Africa is one of the most complex ethnolinguistic regions on the continent, due to the continuous movement of groups, including Khoisan, Cushitic, Nilotic and Bantu peoples. This map shows the movement of the Southern Nilotes that occurred around 500 BC. They shared space with the Southern Cushites for quite some time, before the arrival of the Bantu, which drastically altered the interior of Africa (Newman).
