Description
The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality by Cheikh Anta Diop A groundbreaking work that challenges conventional wisdom on the origins of human civilization. Edited and translated by Mercer Cook, this one-volume translation brings together the major sections of Cheikh Anta Diop's influential books, Nations negres et culture and Anteriorite des civilizations negres. Diop's pioneering research has had a profound impact on our understanding of Africa's place in the world. First published in 1974, this book presents a compelling case for the African origins of civilization, drawing on a wide range of historical and scientific evidence. Diop's work has been widely recognized for its significance, including an award shared with W. E. B. DuBois at the World Festival of the Arts in 1966. This edition offers a valuable opportunity to engage with Diop's thought-provoking ideas and explore the complexities of African history and culture.
