More about the book

The study examines the evolution of Afrocentric historical writing from the Hellenistic-Roman period to the 19th century, highlighting how Afrocentric writers seek to identify unique cultural sources across various eras. It emphasizes the transmission of cultural traits from classical antiquity to the roots of culture in Egypt and Africa, framing this continuity as a product of creative historical interpretation rather than mere factual recounting.
