Book excerpt: The development of Afrocentric historical writing is explored in this study which traces this recording of history from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century. Afrocentric writers are depicted as searching for the unique primary source of "culture" from one period to the next. Such passing on of cultural traits from the "ancient model" from the classical period to the origin of culture in Egypt and Africa is shown as being a product purely of creative history.

Download or read book When the World was Black Part Two written by Supreme understanding and published by Supreme Design Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the World Was Black: The Untold History of the World’s First Civilizations (Volume Two of The Science of Self series) has been published in TWO parts. Why two? Because there are far too many stories that remain untold. We had over 200,000 years of Black history to tell – from the southern tip of Chile to the northernmost isles of Europe – and you can’t do that justice in a 300-page book. So there are two parts, each consisting of 360 pages of groundbreaking history, digging deep into the story of all the world’s original people. Part One covers the Black origins of all the world’s oldest cultures and societies, spanning more than 200,000 years of human history. Part Two tells the stories of the Black men and women who introduced urban civilization to the world over the last 20,000 years, up to the time of European contact. Each part has over 100 helpful maps, graphs, and photos, an 8-page full-color insert in the center, and over 300 footnotes and references for further research. “In this book, you’ll learn about the history of Black people. I don’t mean the history you learned in school, which most likely began with slavery and ended with the Civil Rights Movement. I’m talking about Black history BEFORE that. Long before that. In this book, we’ll cover over 200,000 years of Black history. For many of us, that sounds strange. We can’t even imagine what the Black past was like before the slave trade, much less imagine that such a history goes back 200,000 years or more.” “Part Two covers history from 20,000 years ago to the point of European contact. This is the time that prehistoric cultures grew into ancient urban civilizations, a transition known to historians as the “Neolithic Revolution.”

Download or read book Connections Remembered the African Origins of Humanity and Civilization written by Lindiwe Lester and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of Connections Remembered is the ancient African origins of humanity and civilization, framed around the impact of these historical hallmarks on healthy Black identity development. It is an easy-to-read, yet scientifically validated account of the remarkable accomplishments of ancient Africa and her people. This new edition emphasizes the inextricable linkage between Black self-concept and what Black people are taught through the Eurocentric curricula's expression of African Americans' historical roots. It debunks the flawed and psychically devastating view that Black people's beginnings were as dehumanized plantation slaves. It is written for adults and is concerned with augmenting the education of Black children in American schools especially during their identity-shaping formative years. The book reconnects African and African American history as one continuous narrative, not two disconnected stories; this is key to overcoming our fragmented inner selves and restoring healthy communities. Maps, charts, suggested activities and thought starters are included in each of the eight sections to better engage with the content.

Download or read book History of the Black Man an Authentic Collection of Historical Information on the Early Civilization of the Descendents of Ham the Son of Noah written by Joseph Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Valuable information upon the past and present history of the black man." Rev. Joseph Julius Jackson, D.D. was an African-American preacher and head of the Baptist Aged Ministers' Home and Theological Seminary, in Bellefontaine, Ohio. In 1921 after considerable expense and with much labor and research he published the book "The History of the Black Man" which covers an authentic collection of historical information on the early civilization of the descendents of Ham, the son of Noah: history of the Black kingdoms of Ghana, Melle, Songhay and Hansas, and the early American Negro. In introducing his book Jackson notes that "it is very essential that every race should possess a correct knowledge of its own past history. The masses of the American negro have been deprived of the opportunity of obtaining an adequate knowledge of the past history of the black man. The average historian has not considered the ancient history of the black man of sufficient importance to claim his attention. Even Mr. Myers would have the students of his general history believe that the black man has always been a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. "A large majority of the men of letters of our own people who are very proficient in ancient, medieval and modern history of Greece, Rome, and even China, Japan, and other European and Asiatic countries, know very little of the history of their own people. A lack of historical knowledge of ourselves has been the means of lessening of our race pride. A better knowledge of the contribution of the black man to civilization will cause us to have a better opinion of ourselves. "At considerable expense and with much labor and research, the writer has succeeded in collecting what he considers a great deal of valuable information, which he has placed in this little book and given to the public at a cost within the reach of everyone who desires valuable information upon the past and present history of the black man. A brief reference will be made to the origin of the race, the rise of the Ethiopian and Egypt, and the early influence of African civilization upon the ancient history of the world. Considerable space will be given to the black kingdoms of Soudan and the high degree of civilization which was found to exist among them before the arrival of white explorers. The following are some of the kingdoms to which reference will be made at some length: namely: Ghana, Melle, Songhay and Hansas. It will also be shown that Spain was ruled by a black dynasty of Africa for more than half a century, 1086-1147. Much space will be given to the history of the American negro, 1619 to the present date." In discussing the evils of slavery, Jackson writes: "The black man himself in his African home has been the owner of slaves. Slavery still exists among some of the African tribes. I do not want it understood that I would for a moment endorse or sanction the institution of slavery, but I mention these facts to show that the people of the United States of America should not be considered the meanest people in the world because they once held our ancestors as slaves." Other books by this author include: A compendium of historical facts of the early African Baptist churches

Download or read book Sensuous Knowledge written by Minna Salami and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sensuous Knowledge, Minna Salami draws on Africa-centric, feminist-first and artistic traditions to help us rediscover inclusive and invigorating ways of experiencing the world afresh. Combining the playfulness of a storyteller with the insight of a social critic, the book pries apart the systems of power and privilege that have dominated ways of thinking for centuries – and which have led to so much division, prejudice and damage. And it puts forward a new, sensuous, approach to knowledge: one grounded in a host of global perspectives – from Black Feminism to personal narrative, pop culture to high art, Western philosophy to African mythology – together comprising a vision of hope for a fragmented world riven by crisis. Through the prism of this new knowledge, Salami offers fresh insights into the key cultural issues that affect women’s lives. How are we to view Sisterhood, Motherhood or even Womanhood itself? What is Power and why do we conceive of Beauty? How does one achieve Liberation? She asks women to break free of the prison made by ingrained male-centric biases, and build a house themselves – a home that can nurture us all. Sensuous Knowledge confirms Minna Salami as one the most important spokespeople of today, and the arrival of a blistering new literary voice.

Download or read book Eye on History written by Eva M. Doyle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eye On History: The Golden Collection includes articles from the Eye on History newspaper Column from 1979 to 2021. It traces African history from the earliest times in ancient Africa to people and events in America. The goal of this book is to present little-known information about African and African American history that has been excluded from many textbooks. African people were world travelers. Their presence can be found in ancient China, Germany, Europe, Italy, and Russia. Archaeologists have found evidence that civilization itself began on the continent of Africa. African people touched the world and left their imprint on art, culture, and history. This book is referred to as the “Golden Collection” because in writing these articles it was like discovering gold. It was new information that took hours and hours of research that led to the rare book room at the local library and to the history museum. The pages of old manuscripts and books long forgotten were sources of much of the information in this book. It is the hope of this writer that this book will be used by educators, students, parents, and others as a resource to learn more about African and African American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the complex relationship between African Americans and the African continent What is an “African American” and how does this identity relate to the African continent?

This book provides an introduction to the relationship between African Americans and Africa from the era of slavery to the present, mapping several overlapping diasporas. The diversity of African American identities through relationships with region, ethnicity, slavery, and immigration are all examined to investigate questions fundamental to the study of African American history and culture.
Download or read book Cinemas of the Black Diaspora written by Michael T. Martin and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the cinematic traditions and film practices in the black Diaspora. With contributions by film scholars, film critics, and film-makers from Europe, North America and the Third World, this diverse collection provides a critical reading of film-making in the black Diaspora that challenges the assumptions of colonialist and ethnocentrist discourses about Third World, Hollywood and European cinemas. Cinemas of the Black Diaspora examines the impact on film-making of Western culture, capitalist production and distribution methods, and colonialism and the continuing neo-colonial status of the people and countries in which film-making is practiced. Organized in three parts, the study first explores cinema in the black Diaspora along cultural and political lines, analyzing the works of a radical and aesthetically alternative cinema. The book proceeds to group black cinemas by geographical sites, including Africa, the Caribbean and South America, Europe, and North America, to provide global context for comparative and case study analyses. Finally, three important manifestoes document the political and economic concerns and counter-hegemonic institutional organizing efforts of black and Third World film-makers from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Cinemas of the Black Diaspora should serve as a valuable basic reference and research tool for the study of world cinema. While celebrating the diversity, innovativeness, and fecundity of film-making in different regions of the world, this important collection also explicates the historical importance of film-making as a cultural form and political practice.
