[edit] HISTORY IN BLACK
This is a comprehensive study of Afrocentrist historical writing, which places the black race at the centre of human history, set against a broad background of creative histories from ancient times onward.
Critique of 'Afrocentric' histories, which place the black race at the centre of human history. Examines primary sources in Ancent Greek, Egyptian and Hebrew. Most comprehensive work ever witten about Afrocentrist history. Good reviews in broadsheet papers. This study describes the development of Afrocentric historical writing. It depicts this historiography as one more link in the long chain of the recording of universal history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the nineteenth century. From this broad and fascinating vantage point, Afrocentric writers are seen as following the Western tradition of searching for the one and only primary source of 'culture' and for the manner in which the various cultural traits were transmitted from one culture to another. What was called the ancient model from the Classical period, and thereafter was about the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa, is nothing other than a product of creative history which, at the time, was intended to perform certain functions, like those performed by the creative history of contemporary Afrocentric writing.
