I have not read the book, so this is a reccommendation of the idea behind the book.
Still, judging by the author interview I read, I would imagine that the book is done reasonably well.
The idea? Instead of telling the story of America from the point of view of English settlers, Puritans of a Calvinist church, who came to America and enslaved some random 'Black' person from Africa,
Instead tell the story of the gentleman from the cultured Kingdom of Nri who was snatched away by some crazy band of pale-skinned pirates from the far edge of the world and brought to a place called America, where their descendents worked their way, through some miracle, to a decent life in the modern day.
Instead of telling in detail the background of the 'white' settlers and having the 'Black' Africans be just some random 'Black', tell in detail the background of the Africans and the native Americans instead!
I think that this is a great idea!
And so I am giving the book, called 'Black A F History', my recommendation, for I think that this is a great idea, and I think more histories should be written from the point of view of Africans and native Americans!
I myself cover the long ages when old Africa and Asia are still unfallen.
These guys are covering modern America!
Let's welcome different points of view!
For I do not just recommend this to 'Blacks', but to everyone!
Let us not be afraid of different points of view!
Go ahead! Read America's history from the point of view of 'Black' Africans and not just your own European ancestors!
This point of view is especially important for 'Blacks' and Native Americans and others who get to see history from their people's point of view... but I also recommend this kind of point of view to my fellow 'whites'! Let us learn someone else's point of view! Let us not be afraid of it!
After all, you are not responsible for the sins of your European ancestors! If you are trying to understand other people's points of view, then you can hold your head high and be proud that you are trying to transcend the limitations of your ancestors!
And for other people, this is a chance to see history for once from your own point of view!
To see yourself be represented!
To learn about your African ancestors and hold your head high knowing your history!
Either way, I very much recommend getting to know a different point of view!
God loves you!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
