Civilizations or Barbarism by Cheikh-Anta Diop - Book

Challenging societal beliefs, this volume rethinks African and world history from an Afrocentric perspective. This last work of the well-known Senegalese scholar (1923-86) is a summation and expansion of his two previous volumes-- Precolonial Black Africa (1987) and The African Origin of Civilization (1974)--and offers a refined statement of his life's work, to prove the primacy of African culture by proving that ancient Egypt was a black society, first in many cultural achievements later claimed by the following Indo-Aryan cultures.
