5.0 out of 5 stars The product of hard work., 15 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book should be read by everyone but is a very important work for black people across the globe. "I was convinced that what troubled me and what I wanted to know, was what troubled the black masses and what they wanted to know. We wanted to know the whole truth, good and bad. For it would be a continuing degradation of the African people if we simply destroyed the present system of racial lies embedded in world literature only to replace it with glorified fiction based more on wishful thinking than on the labors of historical research." This quote from the book sets the whole tone and reflects the thinking of the author. Sixteen years of hard work and in depth research instead of stories which hold no water. Those content with the world in the way it is must not read this book but if you sense that many pieces of the puzzle don't fit, order this book without delay. I am sure once you have read it there will be one question on your mind; What do we do about it? One answer would be to ignore it. Ignoring a tumor doesn't make it go away instead it spreads unchecked. It is time to kill the cancer and start living.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Black History compiler, 15 Feb 2006
Like the above reviewer I too for the last 3 years have become increasingly aware of a misinterpretation of black people. Add to this the way the West operates and the state of Africa in general I made it my priority to get to the bottom of this.

This book is a good start for an extensive overview of what went wrong and why, You will be asking yourself questions and also answering them.

I also recommend you read:
They came before Columbus An African Presence in Ancient America
The Wretched of the Earth
Black Skin White Mask
The Isis papers

And a Slave Trade book (although they tend to be written from their perspective and slave accounts are few and far between) But it will provide insight in the use of capitalism in the name of the christian church to exploit slavery, africa and extend the wealth or european nations.

Then you can really start linking all this together to give you a
good overview of the state of the black populous.

From what I’ve compiled so far and reading between the lines it is not good but since the end of the last great black dynasty it never really has been.

Keep up the fight

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb book, 16 Dec 2006
By T. MCKNIGHT "Tim M" (Huddersfield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book losing 1 star merely because at certain points it felt like being back at school. Regardless of that this book would be a recommended read for anyone and should be required reading for everyone of Black African descent.

This book not only describes the events of the past but the effect that these events have on us as a people today. It also outlines an intricate plan of how we may not only create a definitive identity with our culture but how we can carry ourselves with a new sense of pride and unify as a people on both a national and international scale.

A superb read!
