Description

The huge span of time covered should have been a tip-off, and while I’m inclined to get on board with the idea that racial animus and notions of white superiority have fueled aggressions within/against Africa all throughout time, Williams’ approach to this isn’t rigorous enough to sustain all the claims he’s making, with most sections glossing over the complexities of intra-continental politics rather than exploring how they influenced and were influenced by such discrimination. I am so grateful for our great Afrikan historians who found the truth, thoroughly uncovered and recorded it, thus giving myself and others a deeply profound point of view. I'm not familiar enough with the particularities of ancient African history to have any comment on factual accuracy. Now before someone condemns this book, it also details the problems within African continent and why they were so easily conquered by outsiders.

The narrator on the other hand is awful and at one point near the end of the book, the narrator uses profanities. He concentrated on African civilizations before the European encounter, and was one of a group of scholars who asserted that Egypt had been a black civilization. but after having read this book I am convinced that all of us black people, both on the motherland and in the diaspora we are mis-educated. It's a sad fact that thing have not changed one bit for black people since this book was originally published in 1971.From allowing minority non-African populations to marry into power, to trying to unite and integrate with these populations, Williams contrasts Africans with non-Africans by arguing that the latter had a long term vision for the future that the former lacked.

These objections revealed the extent of a disagreement which remained profound even though it was not voiced explicitly. Williams was president of a baking company, editor of a newsletter, The New Challenge, an economist, high school teacher and principal and a novelist. And considering the terrible condition of African people, some just want answers outside of facts--then this book will fill your socks. Williams was born on December 22, 1893, inBennettsville,South Carolina, as the last of five children. For, having read everything about the African race that I could get my hands on, I knew even before leaving high school that (1) The Land of theBlacks was not only the "cradle of civilization" itself but that the Blacks were once the leading people on earth ; (2) that Egypt once was not only all-black, but the very name "Egypt" was derived from the Blacks ; (3) and that the Blacks were the pioneers in the sciences, medicine, architecture, writing, and were the first builders in stone, etc .It is fitting and reactionary for authors to make into myth the history of Africa, but that does not take us closer to the truth. The entire book was unedited which is unacceptable and tells me that maybe someone couldn’t be bothered because it’s about black history.

More needs to be said about this great collection of states, including how they resisted foreign imposition by centering African systems and essentially prohibiting non-African presence and influence (including the religions of Islam and Christianity).Williams contends that instead of maintaining highly concentrated African centers on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, Africans migrated further into the interior, allowing Eurasians to capture these coastal centers and control the terms and conditions of international trade and relations. Black history, from ANCIENT times, told from a BLACK perspective and centering BLACK experience and civilization. The quality of this narrator and the final product was the worst I have heard and I have been using Audible for 3 to 5 years. The first is to treat Africa as a whole and give an overall historical account without any special reference to racial types; the second is to regard Africa as the "Land of the Negroes" and to give a history of the Negro race. His generalizations, and general habit of viewing ancient societies through a modern lens (assuming a solidified black stand against Arab invaders, as if BC-era Africans were imbued with black power rhetoric) reduces the effect of his analysis, while making it harder to trust even the sections where it seems like he’s presenting a less biased summary of events.
