3.0 out of 5 stars
Final Grade for unabridged version: 78%,
By The Djeli (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: UNESCO General History of Africa, Vol. V, Abridged Edition: Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century (v. 5) (Paperback)
Good: An indepth study of African civilization in relation to the rest of the world between 1500 CE and 1800 CE. Also, these UNESCO volumes are written by Africans (Indigenous as well as Arab/White Berber). Useful only to large librariesBad: The fact that it is written by Africans means little. Most of these historians were educated in the U.S. or Europe and as a result retain a clear lack of appreciate and understanding about African civilization. It must be remembered that Africa "died" in the 19th Century. The few survivors are still surviving. The majority of the European/American educated such as these authors are not descendents of rebels but of puppets for the European aristocracy. Unfortunately their African heritage has mislead others to believe that it has any value in regard to their insight into African concepts. |
