Summary: third eye blind
Review: This book covers a wide range of facts that have explained the origin of several negative stereotypes that africans are labeled with. The knowledge that I found in this book was never offered in any of my history classes. This book is a must read for anyone seeking the truth. I highly recommend this book to all thirsty souls.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This book is a book that i have personally would not have read were it not forced upon me for one of my classes. This book explains alot about the blanks and holes in the African American past that many Europeans have tried so hard to conceal. At first its hard to comprehend because as an African American you've been told were your place already is in society and that your past was one not to talk about. But in fact i never knew alot about my homeland of Africa. Its a very knowledgable book that i highly recommend. Its made me question alot about the African Past. Its made me question everything from the goverment to religion. Its also helped me to understand why white people have tried to conceal our past. I feel that if this book were mandatory for everyone to read the world would become such a better a place. Anyone thats African American should read this book and anyone else too.

Summary: Inspirational and Motivational
Review: This is an inspirational book that should be in every school in the country. It explains the root cause of the black/white racial conflict in America. After reading this book, it becomes clear what was really lost by African people who were taken from their homes and families. No American history class is currently teaching that African people were here before Columbus, or that Africans ruled Spain for 800 years prior to the slave trade. No American history class is currently teaching that the African people who were brought here and forced into slavery were highly educated in African schools and universities, and were speaking and writing in several languages prior to their enslavement. This information would make a vast difference in how whites would view blacks and how blacks would view themselves. This is a book that must be read by blacks, whites and every other ethnic group and nationality. It is a very informative review of world history and a very insightful examination of human behavior.
