More about the book
Frobenius' influential studies on African culture marked a significant advancement in ethnography, inspiring young African intellectuals in Europe during the early 1900s. His work played a crucial role in restoring the soul and identity of Black Africa, contributing to the emergence of the Négritude movement. This cultural renaissance aligned with the self-determination efforts of the Harlem Renaissance and was further developed by figures like Léopold Sédar Senghor, who later became Senegal's president. The book includes 24 illustrated plates.
