CHEIK ANTA DIOP
Cheikh Anta Diop was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician who studied the human race's origins and precolonial African culture. He is a champion of African history, devoting his life and brilliant intellect to proving the critical role Black Egyptian people played in the development of arts and sciences, dispelling long-held ideas that Africans contributed nothing of importance to humanity.
1. The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality
Now in its 30th printing, this classic presents historical, archaeological, and anthropological evidence to support the theory that ancient Egypt was a black civilization.
2. Precolonial Black Africa
This comparison of the political and social systems of Europe and black Africa from antiquity to the formation of modern states demonstrates the black contribution to the development of Western civilization.
3. ANTERIORITE DES CIVILISATIONS NEGRES: MYTHE OU VERITE HISTORIQUE ?
Antériorité des civilisations nègres est un ouvrage majeur de la problématique historique africaine.
L'égyptologie, pour prendre toute signification en tant que science historique vivante, doit nécessairement renouer avec les civilisations négro-africaines, par-delà le formalisme froid de l'exégèse des textes.
Cette leçon inaugurale de Cheikh Anta Diop est devenue d'ores et déjà le bréviaire de l'égyptologie africaine et afro-américaine. Que l'égyptologie occidentale entende enfin, à son tour, la leçon de Cheikh Anta Diop pour le renouvellement des études égypto-nubiennes.
4. Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology
Challenging societal beliefs, this volume rethinks African and world history from an Afrocentric perspective.
