Description:

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.

Synopsis:

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.
