(Hide Review...)  Civilization or Barbarism is still man's choice
Reviewer Permalink
If you have a 3 week open period in your life this book will enlighten you, make you question history, understand history, question religion, understand religion, question philosophy, understand philosophy, question current teaching the origin of humans, understand what is human, and give the foundation to understand and analyze every historical, religious, and science book that has been used to mishape your mind.

But before you read this book take 2 weeks and read "the origin of African Civilization" by Dr. Diop.

Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.

This book, although a challenging read, should be read by every person with an honest curiosity about the history of humanity as it relates to black Africa. I say a challenging read because the book seems to have been written in answer to professional critics of his prior works. As a result, he uses some terms that mainly an anthropologist or paleontologist may readily understand. I am incredibly grateful to find this book and will be keeping a copy in my library forever.

Funny how most of the 1 star reviewers never deal with the facts of whats stated in the book. Even if they do have valid issues, where are the counter references beyond, he (C.A. Diop) is wrong just because YOU say so.

They make it sound as though he made up all he had to say in this EXTREMELY POWERFUL WORK with no references to other "noted" scholars and no use of scientific methods of research. They write as though C.A. diop himself isn't an Egyptologist and Scientist who ran the Radiocarbon Laboratory in Dakar. I would like to know what counter body of work exists that can compete with this one?

Perhaps the 1 star reviewers should read the works of Gerald Massey, C.F Volney, Albert Churchward, Stanley Lane Poole, Martin Bernal, Michael Bradley and even Alexander Von Wuthenau to get a comprehensive "White" Scholars view of why The PERSPECTIVE of C.A. Diop and other noted African Scholars like him exist.

An, in regards to Gerald Massey...I have yet to see anyone seriously challenge his body of work!!! Mary Lefkowitz or otherwise! I wonder why that is!
