It was largely because of theses works that at the World Festival of the Arts held in Dakar inDr. Diop shared with the late W. Dubois an award as the writer who had exerted the greatest influence on Negro thought in the 20th century. Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilization. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in air and cannot be written correctly until African historians dare to connect it with the history of Egypt. In particular, the study of languages, institutions, and so forth, cannot be treat properly; in a word, it will be impossible to build African humanities, a body of African human sciences, so long as that relationship does not appear legitimate. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective, nor unruffled; his is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. Anthropologically and culturally speaking the Semitic world was born during proto-historic times from the mixture of white-skinned and black- skinned people in western Asia. This is why an understanding of the Mesopotamian Semetic world, Judaic or Arabic requires constant reference to the underlying Black reality.

The African Origin of Civilization Quotes by Cheikh Anta Diop The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality? Diop is sometimes referred to as an Afrocentristhe predates the concept and thus was not himself an Afrocentric scholar. His work was greatly controversial and throughout his career, Diop argued that there was a shared cultural continuity across African peoples that was more important than the varied development of different ethnic groups shown by differences among languages and cultures over time. It makes the case that both mankind The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality? civilization started with black people. It argues that Ancient Egypt was largely Black African in race and culture during the first 2, years of its civilization. When Diop first put forward his thesis his work was resoundingly debunked by white Egyptologists and anthropologists, notably Bruce Trigger and other Europeans. But Diop was persistent and his theories were brilliantly defended by him. AfterDiop went back to Senegal and continued his research and political career. Of course this analysis of the book makes remarkable reading, but there is no substitute for reading the book. Here it is in full:. Homo sapiens began in Africa and began as black people. It was as black people that they spread over Asia and Europe, taking the place of the Neanderthals. The rise of different races: Over time black people in northern Eurasia became light-skinned and began to look like the people who live there today. People were dark-skinned, like they still are today in Ethiopia and southern India. The Bible calls them the sons of Ham. The Greeks saw them as Ethiopians of one sort or other. After this region has become whiter over time as wave after wave of light-skinned barbarians over thousands of years have come down from the north. In India people were separated into light- and dark-skinned castes. Elsewhere they have mixed more thoroughly. Diop: What were the Egyptians? Diop: Birth of the Negro Myth — where the idea that black people are incapable comes from 3. Diop: Modern Falsification of History — how European scholars in the s began to distance Egypt from the rest of Africa 4. Diop: Origination in the Delta? Diop: An Asian Origin? Diop: Egyptian Race Seen by Anthropologists — there is no proof from science that Egyptians were mostly white when civilization arose there 7. Diop: Evolution of Ancient Egypt — mostly about the whitening of Egypt Diop: Early History of Humanity: Evolution of the Black World — how mankind started out black and stayed that way for a long time. Even apart from how The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality? or wrong Diop is, the book is an excellent account of how whites twist history and science for their own ends and why blacks need to write and know their own history.

Like many of the African-centered scholars who were Dr. Clarke's teachers and his sources of inspiration, he not only gives you accurate analysis and the descriptions of history, he provides prescription of what Africans have to do to bring into being a new day. By: John Henrik Clarke. The history of Ethiopia could also be called the history of humanity. The question is not if this history is well documented, but why it is not thought widely in schools. The time necessary to The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality? the tomes that refer to the Nubians as the forebearers of our civilization is enormous. The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality? world owes Ethiopia for its history, astronomy, agriculture and all the other sciences, and John G. Jackson gave ample references to validate this claim. By: John G. In this classic work, Professor George G. James methodically shows how the Greeks first borrowed and then stole the knowledge from the Priests of the African Egyptian Mystery System. He shows how the most popular philosophers including Thales, Anaximander, Plato and Socrates were all treated as men bringing a foreign teaching to Greece. A teaching so foreign that they were persecuted for what they taught. By: George G. The Destruction of Black Civilization is revelatory and revolutionary because it offers a new approach to the research, teaching, and study of African history by shifting the main focus from the history of Arabs and Europeans in Africa to the Africans themselves. The book, thus, offers "a history of blacks that is a history of blacks". By: Chancellor Williams. The information presented in this audiobook is absolutely crucial if atheists and other free thinkers are to understand the nature of the beast that threatens not only their liberties and rights as citizens in a secular republic, but also threatens to return world civilization itself back to the prescientific levels of the ancient cultures from which Christianity derived all its odd details. Every atheist needs to know what is in this audiobook! Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting a hugely debated theory of the Black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early Black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but were also an advanced civilization.

Ambridge A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Janet E. Richards, Chair Professor Carla M. Sinopoli Associate Professor Terry G. Wilfong Emily Teeter, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago © Lindsay J. Ambridge All rights reserved 2010 Acknowledgments The first person I would like to thank is my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Janet Richards, who has been my primary source of guidance from my first days at the University of Michigan. She has been relentlessly supportive not only of my intellectual interests, but also in securing fieldwork opportunities and funding throughout my graduate career. For the experiences I had over the course of four expeditions in Egypt, I am deeply grateful to her. Most importantly, she is always kind and unfailingly gracious. Terry Wilfong has been a consistent source of support, advice, and encyclopedic knowledge. His feedback, from my first year of graduate school to my last, has been invaluable. He is generous in giving advice, particularly on matters of language, style, and source material. It is not an overstatement to say that the completion of this dissertation was made possible by Janet and Terry’s combined resourcefulness and unflagging support. It is to Janet and Terry also that I owe the many opportunities I have had to teach at U of M. Working with them was always a pleasure.

Necrology: Bruce Trigger A reflection on Bruce and Barbara Trigger based on oral-historical interviews and personal correspondence Pamela Jane Smith ([email protected]) Bruce G. Trigger, a world-esteemed, multi-talented and many-facetted intellect, a great and brilliant archaeologist and historian, died on 1 December 2006 in Montreal leaving ‘the world a smaller and saddened place’.1 His wife, Barbara Welch, a lesser-known but equally sophisticated thinker, died of heart failure on 18 January 2007. ‘They were a team’,2 observed Barbara’s sister. Although obituaries and tributes seldom capture even a small part of the depth of a human life, the Triggers, indeed beloved and respected, are here briefly remembered.

  • Introduction Chapter 1
    Notes Introduction 1. In this book, unless otherwise indicated, the word anthropology will be used as a short­ cut to designate sociocultural anthropology. Chapter 1 1. Pre-publication drafts of the 1991 article that sections of this chapter are based upon capitalized "Savage" when this term referred to the abstract category, rather than to a specific and historical subject or group of individuals. That distinction was obvious in Trouillot 1991; in this volume capitalization of the term will be used for clarity. 2. For reasons of space, I cannot retrace here all the connections between re cent debates in philosophy and literary theory and recent critiques of anthropology. Our readings are too parochial anyway-to the point that any major thinker needs to be translated into the discipline by an insider. Anthropology has much more to learn from other disci­ plines, notably history, literary criticism, and philosophy, than the reflexivist inter­ preters assume. There are blanks to be filled by the reader with proper use of the bibliographical references. 3. Other reasons aside, long-term fieldwork in the so-called Third World, after the initial dissertation, is becoming more difficult and less rewarding for a majority of anthropol­ ogists. Unfortunately, issues such as the increased competition for funds to do fieldwork abroad or the growing proportion of two-career families within and outside of academe only make good conversation. Practitioners tend to dismiss them in written (and there­ fore "serious") assessments of trends in the discipline. The sociology of our practice is perceived as taboo, but see Wolf (1969), whose early appeal for such a sociology fell on deaf ears, and Rabinow (1991).

  • Huron-Wendat Archaeological Heritage: Building Relationships Towards Collaboration
    HURON-WENDAT ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS TOWARDS COLLABORATION Patrimônio arqueológico Huron-Wendat: construindo relações para a colaboração Alicia L. Hawkins* Louis Lesage** ABSTRACT There is a long history of academic interest in the Huron-Wendat people of the seventeenth century in Ontario. Despite this interest, archaeologists and other academics have only recently begun to engage with the Huron-Wendat community regarding excavations of Huron-Wendat sites in Ontario. This engagement is a first step, and it does not represent true collaboration, because in most cases investigations are not partnerships and do not arise from questions posed by members of the Nation. In 2015, to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of the arrival of Champlain in Ontario, members of the Huron-Wendat Nation and archaeologists co-organized a conference focussed on subjects of interest to the Nation, including their relationship with the “St. Lawrence Iroquoians,” Wendat and Wyandot history after 1650, and bioarchaeological analyses. This paper presents a brief history of archaeological research on the Huron-Wendat past and outlines some new, more collaborative avenues of present and future research.
