Recommendations for books about the Aksumite Empire?
Academic stuff, pop history, fiction, whatever. I've read Elizabeth Wein's novels (of course!) and some of Richard Pankhurst's academic stuff.
What I'm looking for in particular:
* Stuff by people who are actually from the region. And uh, preferably not white people. Yeah.
* Anything about Gudit/Judith. Or Bani al-Hamwiyah, or the Queen of Sheba, for that matter! Women in positions of political power.
* Primary sources that are not puzzled European Christians. Puzzled Muslims from anywhere would be interesting, though.
* Details about day-to-day life stuff for normal non-aristocrat people.
* Details about diplomacy with other nations, particularly primarily-Muslim ones.
