This is one of the best books in African Studies.
Zaslavsky's "Africa Counts" will continue to be widely cherished for many years to come. Anyone haboring the old notion that Africans played no part in shaping world civlilization who is not changed by what appears in this book can only be someone with extraordinary racist tendencies.

Zaslavsky's "Africa Counts" will continue to be widely cherished for many years to come. Anyone haboring the old notion that Africans played no part in shaping world civlilization who is not changed by what appears in this book can only be someone with extraordinary racist tendencies. Zaslavky's book is effulgent because it demystifies mathematics without sacrificing details.

A Truly Profound Book!,
This review is from: Africa Counts: Number and Pattern in African Cultures (Paperback)
I have this book in my library and it's the most requested by my friends to borrow. We find that the history of math started in Africa by indigenous Africans.Claudia Zaslavsky, an educator who advanced the study of the links between mathematics and world cultures, died on Friday, January 13, 2006. Being a woman of European descent didn't stop her from teaching the truth and not allowing personal gain to cloud her judgement. We should honor this woman and the work that she did for the study of indigenous African history.
