Edition: 2 Rev Exp This volume represents a new departure in the examination of Egypt's
place in the African context. It brings together the latest research on
Nile Valley civilizations, what they achieved, and their impact on
Africa and the world. The authors take an "Afrocentric" view in contrast
to "Eurocentric" perspective in their studies of the birthplace of
civilization.This volume includes sections on the race and origin of the
ancient Egyptians' black dynasties and rulers, Egyptian science and
philosophy, and great Egyptologists.
ISBN: 0394402456 With the skill of a novelist, Ivan Van Sertima reveals to readers compelling, dramatic, and superbly detailed documentation of the presence and legacy of Black Africans in ancient America. It is the marriage of twin crafts--the artist's and the scholar's--in a book that makes it possible to see clearly the unmistakable face and handprint of Black Africans in Pre-Columbian America, and their overwhelming impact on the civilization they found here.
