This review is from: Disforming the American Canon: African-Arabic Slave Narratives and the Vernacular (Hardcover)

Although this book is hard for a layman to read, it contains information that some Afrocentrists and "radical" black groups crave. On the other hand, it contains information that Eurocentrists would much rather "cover up" or ignore. The most facinating aspect of the book is that it contains the longest African-Arabic slave narrative known to exist in the U.S. It contains pictures of the original Arabic manuscript as it was found, an Arabic replication of it and a translation of it. The knowledge contained in this book should be in all High School curriculums in the US
