Review: Very informative history of Africa
Review: ... because no-one has deconstructed the roots of civilisation like Diop. It remains relevant because his theories have held up very well in the light of more recent evidence. At one point he even predicts the inevitability of genocide in Rwanda due to it's Sparta-style structure, years before there were signs of this. And he never loses sight of what history is for, to understand and take hold of the future. He'll always be the Pharoah of African history and this book is his masterpiece.
