Should be required reading,
By Teri Thomas "Gina's inner child" (Humble, TX) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples (Paperback)
This book used historical sources from explorers, priests, and colonizers to describe the appearance of the indigenous peoples found in the Americas in the 14th, 15th, 16th centuries. From the witnesses own descriptions these people were dark copper-toned woolly-haired peoples often referred to by the witnesses as ethiopian and or negro. These are the ancestors so many so-call African-American elders spoke of to their children and grandchildren. This book should be required reading as well as be on every "black" family's book shelf. A fascinating read without the politics of the western scholar. I would also suggest another book entitled When Rocks Cry Out by Horace Butler.

Africans and Native Americans,
By M.Corrine P "Soaring Eagle" (Delaware) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples (Paperback)
The used book looked new,excellent condition. Arrived in timely manner. Well worth the price. I am Native American of mixed blood. I am hoping this book will help me understand the historical use of terms related to race and the verify my beliefs of circumstance under which the two races mixed. I see this as a side door geneology book.
