5.0 out of 5 stars excellent researched and scholarly, April 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust: Slavery and the Rise of European Capitalism (Paperback)

This book is definately a masterpiece. Dr. Clarke was truly a genuis, he goes through the slave trade and shows the roles of both various European world imperialist powers, and african empires that played a role in the slave trade. He uses referrences from portuguese and spanyard sources that shows the role of Christopher Colombus, and his crew men in the african holocaust as well as the holocaust against the indigenous people of america. He shows how the crusades played a crucial role in the second rise of europe and its exploitation of most of the world. This book is excellent, it is well researched and it answers questions to many unknown or know but unanswered questions. The personality of Christopher Colombus and europe's mentality towards the rest of the world has been exposed. I seriously recommend this book for all who are interested in the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Myth Crusher!!!, February 22, 2006

This review is from: Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust: Slavery and the Rise of European Capitalism (Paperback)

Dr. Clarke has again crushed myths of the Atlantic Slave Trade. The number one myth is "Afrikans are just as much to blame for selling slaves as Europeans". If ANYONE has ever said this to you and you didn't tell them that was a pile of buffalo poo poo, than you need this book! If you agreed with that statement you need this book. Dr. Clarke breaks down our ways back before the trade. And the BIG differences between European & Arab slavery to Afrikan slavery. TUA NTR Dr. Clarke!!! In which 99% of the people don't know how Afrikan slave system worked. And yes where are our memorials? And the true nature of the Atlantic Slave traders is exposed in detail. Also what did Afrikans do when they found out what was REALLY going on? That answer reveals our nature and how beautiful, strong and weak we are. This books hits EVERY corner about the Slave Trade. And crushes alot of myths. Again Dr. Clarke provide a slamming bibliography. That is a library listing by itself! Every child should read this book when starting to learn our history in America. And the strategies used by both sides. I could go on & on, this book is just everything about the subject in one book!

This review is from: Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust: Slavery and the Rise of European Capitalism (Paperback)

Dr. Clarke's work continues to provide insight and place characters and events in history in their proper historical context.

His presence continues to missed. Dr. Clarke challenges the lies, mis-information and confusion that has whitewashed Afrikan people and the rest of the world with regard to this ignorant johnny-come-lately, lost sailor thug-criminal wannabe. This book is a must read, that provides a tremendous bibliography to further educate, prepare and inspire the reader for further study.
