LOOK OUT. MAKE ROOM. HERE COMES mary lefkowitz. !
allow me to start by saying that, i'm not seeking to disregard the realities / beauty of egypt (MY SOUL will detest such feelings - i respect ALL CULTURES period).
i'm far from the BENT mind(s) that hide via their cute pathetic / stereotypical / disguised political propaganda of racism horse dung: I -am - better - then - you CRAP.
* this is the type of read that compels your eyeballs to appreciate a concrete view. also, once the reader(s) turns the first page, he / she will fell the rhythmic reality / smooth arguments that lefkowitz presents ( her ways of thinking are like a lion - beautiful / sensitive. yet with strong muscle power ).
this book thus has both a negative and a positive purpose. The negative purpose is to show that the afrocentric myth of ancient history is a myth, and not history. the positive purpose is to encourage people to learn as much about ancient egypt and ancient greece as possible - lefkowitz. Preface.
( she sure got me into diving into the pool of solid / true history of the ancients - yeeee haaa )
the reason why i gave this book 5 sweat stars is because i can't doubt it.
this wonderful woman ( marry lefkowitz ) made her views clear, and right to the point (without the political horse dung). she, without - a - shred - of - hesitation / fear, grabbed the bull by its horns and struck SEVERAL nerves - the bull, obviously is not walking / thinking straight.
according to my limited knowledge / wisdom, this fantastic read serves 4 principles ( not to say that there aren't more ):
1) never judge a book by its cover.
2) there are two sides for every story period
3) what is factual today is myth tomorrow
4) a bent limited / stereotypical / egotistical mind.
i will briefly touch on these numbers.
1. the title of this book alone should give an electrical shock to those of BENT afrocentrism. Why BENT? Because, there are too many who are postmodernists. It's true, not all of those that appreciate afrocentrism will feel the shock waves of the title...
2. lefkowitz clearly lets the readers know that her case is not ambiguously twisted. She also PIN POINTS (for the benefit of the readers) WHY (via reliable ( in a sense of checkmate ) references ( BETTER YET. from her opponent( s )) so that one may happily check and appreciate why lefkowitz confutes the particular weak argument / clear propaganda / falsehood of her opponent( s ). ie., pp. 149 / 231...
3. this understanding is without a doubt true. there are too many of unfortunates that have glued themselves to certain schools of thought (be it theology / philosophy). when the time arrives to prove to the contrary their isms or core of acceptance, naturally, there will either be some resistance / denial or an honest acknowledgement of the foreign view...
4. one can't help put to sincerely appreciate lekowitz's research into the motives / inspirations / influences of the mind(s) that were pervaded via afrocentrism. - edward wilmot blyden / marcus garvey. pp. 127-134...* her understanding to WHY (psychology), of the afrocentrism is crucial - pp. 125-126...
i know for sure that this solid read will serve well for two types of mind, 1 ) intelligent 2 ) intelligent.
this read is clear-cut - right to the matter ( i respect that she's not full of %$#@).
mary lefkowitz is disliked by many...so was malcolm x (rip) - malcolm x (AFTER dumping the nation of islam - BENT extreme afrocentrism) spoke his mind ...lefkowitz is also speaking hers... - sit back with a cup of wine and enjoy this promising read ~ NOT OUT OF AFRICA.
i know that i will read this book ( n-u-t c-r-a-c-k-e-r ) several times.
lefkowitz has broaden my perception / respect. - she has a mind like a double edge sword.
* if you are the type that has a narrow ( indoctrinated ) mind ( " my (our) way or the high way" crap), then this read is not for you period
if you have a flexible brain and appreciate sound views ( lefkowitz's )then you will gladly respect her BLOWS...- i believe it is essential for all of us to realize that some action needs to be taken. it is not simply a matter of doing justice to the ancient greeks and their modern decedents. universities must encourage free inquiry and debate, and not permit the classroom to be used as a means of political indoctrination - lefkowitz p. 11 ~ NOT OUT OF AFRICA
* this read moves like the waters of the sea. trust me, your mind will see and smell the sweet honey of her flow - sit back with some wine and enjoy, NOT OUT OF AFRICA.
bless her / family.
Peace.
