South East Africa, that broad strip of territory where the continent of Africa meets the Indian Ocean ... is one of the great cross-roads of world history. It is a huge area where for over a thousand years peoples and ideas and goods from three continents - Africa, Asia and Europe - have met and intermingled. Scholars have called it a 'tri-continental frontier'. It deserves a place in any study of world history"
HINT: in answering this question consider the following: Who were the Swahili people? To what extent were they integrated into the wider Eurasian world trading system that Janet Abu-Lughod has spoken about in her book Before European Hegemony: The World System AD 1250-1350"? To what extent were Europeans influential in this region before the 1800s? What kinds of sources and evidence have historians used to write the history of the Tricontinental Frontier? Why, in your opinion, has the tri-continental frontier not received more attention in general histories?

Please do your own homework. Mind you, they've pretty much mapped out what you need to do. Divide your essay into the questions that you have there. Then, wikipedia the lot, making sure that you only answer one question with information that is relevant to the next one. They've set up the whole essay the way that they want you to write it so as to encourage you to come up with your own opinion at the end. If you try copying and pasting an answer from here, trust me, it will be fairly obvious.
