Download or read book Female Monarchs and Merchant Queens in Africa written by Nwando Achebe and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unapologetically African-centered monograph that reveals physical and spiritual forms and systems of female power and leadership in African cultures. Nwando Achebe’s unparalleled study documents elite females, female principles, and female spiritual entities across the African continent, from the ancient past to the present. Achebe breaks from Western perspectives, research methods, and their consequently incomplete, skewed accounts, to demonstrate the critical importance of distinctly African source materials and world views to any comprehensible African history. This means accounting for the two realities of African cosmology: the physical world of humans and the invisible realm of spiritual gods and forces. That interconnected universe allows biological men and women to become female-gendered males and male-gendered females. This phenomenon empowers the existence of particular African beings, such as female husbands, male priestesses, female kings, and female pharaohs. Achebe portrays their combined power, influence, and authority in a sweeping, African-centric narrative that leads to an analogous consideration of contemporary African women as heads of state, government officials, religious leaders, and prominent entrepreneurs.

Download or read book From 2650 B C African Kings and Queens to the Obama Exit written by Patrobas J Brown Dba and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book is a chronological description of the perspective of Black History from a time 2650 B.C. African Kings and Queens to the Obama Exit. This nonfiction book is a storyteller that contains thirty-nine chapters, over 150 subsections, 164 illustrations written and designed by the author. This presentation of Black History provides an historic summary as a visual tool that presents the reader much insight from the color graphic illustrations showing a parallelism between past and current events of the people that committed their lives to the well-being of our imminent present and the freedom from slavery. Each picture is a cross-reference to engage the reader's imagination to faces, names, and places. The benefits of the book provide a vivid educational structure critiqued by professionals from all work fields and reviewed in some public-school systems. This was a rewarding process, developing a consumer-based product over a span of 15 years. Another important aspect of this book is that slavery was the imprint of indentured slaves. The colonization of slavery depicts the tribulations and the journey to freedom in America. There are many examples for the reader to visualize, understand the sustainability of slavery, and the results of profitability as the driving force of change to freedom or the resistance of transformation that denied slaves their freedom as citizens. This also gives an overview of issues, individuals that overcame slavery, and subjugation. Black history is an amalgamation of all races from who discovered America, transporting African to America. The unique component is or was the submissive nature of Africans that allowed slavery to inflate and driven by greed. The reader in this case is provided with the importance and singular vision to read and understand my prospective of the chronological order of passages distinguishing time in Black History. This book is a prophecy spoken to me by my dad of the artistic nature, self-driven, and skilled nature of the visualization I was born with as a premature baby. My dad passed November 2004. Prophecy fulfilled May 2019.

Download or read book Volume Two 100 Great African Kings and Queens written by Pusch Komiete Commey and published by Real African Books. This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume Two of 100 Great African Kings and Queens continues the journey of another ten magnificent monarchs in African history. The phenomenal success of Volume One and its revised enriched edition made Volume Two urgent. These chronicles will eventually cover the promised One Hundred Kings and Queens, and in the event capture a significant portrait of Real African History. In this edition the opening salvo is the inimitable Hatshesput, one of the greatest builders in all of history. Her construction work in the Nile Valley still stands as a monumental testimony of the African genius, and a benchmark of beautiful architecture. Then there are the freedom fighters and Warrior Queens: Dahia Al Kahina of North Africa and the indomitable Ranavalona 1 of Madagascar. Her ferocity in defence of independence was such that her colonial adversaries dubbed her The Mad Queen of Madagascar. There are also the unsung military exploits of the formidable Sekhukhune of South Africa, and a certain Mad Mullah, Mohammed Abdulle Hassan. He demolished his enemies and wrote exquisite poetry to document his glittering victories, and thus became the father of the Somali nation. These delightful historical narratives will keep you on the edge of your seat for its sheer power of revelation.

Download or read book African Kings and Black Slaves written by Herman L. Bennett and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking reappraisal of the first European encounters with Africa As early as 1441, and well before other European countries encountered Africa, small Portuguese and Spanish trading vessels were plying the coast of West Africa, where they conducted business with African kingdoms that possessed significant territory and power. In the process, Iberians developed an understanding of Africa's political landscape in which they recognized specific sovereigns, plotted the extent and nature of their polities, and grouped subjects according to their ruler. In African Kings and Black Slaves, Herman L. Bennett mines the historical archives of Europe and Africa to reinterpret the first century of sustained African-European interaction. These encounters were not simple economic transactions. Rather, according to Bennett, they involved clashing understandings of diplomacy, sovereignty, and politics. Bennett unearths the ways in which Africa's kings required Iberian traders to participate in elaborate diplomatic rituals, establish treaties, and negotiate trade practices with autonomous territories. And he shows how Iberians based their interpretations of African sovereignty on medieval European political precepts grounded in Roman civil and canon law. In the eyes of Iberians, the extent to which Africa's polities conformed to these norms played a significant role in determining who was, and who was not, a sovereign people—a judgment that shaped who could legitimately be enslaved. Through an examination of early modern African-European encounters, African Kings and Black Slaves offers a reappraisal of the dominant depiction of these exchanges as being solely mediated through the slave trade and racial difference. By asking in what manner did Europeans and Africans configure sovereignty, polities, and subject status, Bennett offers a new depiction of the diasporic identities that had implications for slaves' experiences in the Americas.
