Book Recommendations:

Austen, Ralph A. Trans-Saharan Africa in World History. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2010.

Conrad, David C. Empires of Medieval West Africa: Ghana, Mali, and Songhay. Chelsea House Publishers, 2010.

Ehret, Christopher. Civilizations of Africa: A history to 1800. Charlottesville: The University of Virginia Press, 2018.
(This one is super long and a bit academic, but covers an extremely broad timeframe and area, and goes much further back than most history books on Africa.)

Fauvelle , Francois-Xavier. The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages. S.l.: Princeton University Press, 2021. (This book covers a lot of topics in African history over a pretty wide area, but isn't overwhelmingly long)

Gomez, Michael A. African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. (Very good book on Medieval Sahelian history)

Parker, John, and David Adjaye. Great Kingdoms of Africa. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2023. (This book features articles written by different scholars on a variety of topics from across Africa, and like The Golden Rhinoceros it's not too long. Great place to get a taste of history from across the continent)

Phillipson, David W. Foundations of an African Civilisation: Aksum and the Northern Horn, 1000 BC - AD 1300. Oxford: James Currey, 2012.

Thornton, John. Africa and Africans in the making of the Atlantic World: 1400-1800. Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 2007. (Probably my favorite book an Atlantic Africa)

Decades have passed since Apartheid came to an end, but South Africa remains divided. One reason is the legacy of its urban planning, which forced many Black South Africans to the periphery of cities.

INVASION BY WHITE RELIGIONS - - PROFESSOR JAMES SMALL.

Nana Kamau Kambon Archives
21 Views · 1 year ago

"From Maat to Maafa" is a documentary that traces the historical and ongoing impact of eugenics, population control, and abortion on African Americans, suggesting that these practices are part of a deliberate effort to reduce the black population in America. The term "Maafa" is Swahili for "a terrible tragedy," and in this context, it refers to the horrors of slavery and the subsequent systemic challenges faced by African Americans.

Aborofo - White Slaves: 300 Years Barbary Slave Trade - Fictional 'jesus' Could Not Stop Slavery.
In this episode of our EGUA - Marketplace blogtalkradio broadcast, we address the 300 year Barbary Coast Slave Trade wherein over 2 million white christians where enslaved in North Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) and the Mediterranean by white and non-white muslims between the 16th and 19th centuries of the gregorian calendar. Just as the pseudo-religion of islam and the fictional god 'allah' have been ineffective regarding western eurasian domination of europe and parts of the so-called 'middle east' over the past few centuries, so was the pseudo-religion of christianity and the fictional god 'jesus' ineffective and impotent - thus being unable to 'save' white christians from being enslaved by muslims for 300 years. This speaks to the reality that the enslavement of Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in the western hemisphere had nothing to do with our not submitting the the fictional gods 'allah' and 'jesus'.We examine the trustory in relation to the differences between eurasian notions of 'trade and commerce' and Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) approaches to legitimate trade and commerce rooted in our Ancestral Culture as shown via our OKOM - Economic Development Model.We address our publications:OKOM[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fokom.htmlMOOR[/a] MEANS 'DEAD'[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fnhoma.htmlListen[/a] to all 100+ of our blogtalkradio broadcasts on our channel:www.blogtalkradio.com/odwirafo Download the free e-book versions of our soft-cover books from our NHOMA - Publications page on our website:[a]www.odwirafo.com%2Fnhoma.html[/a] Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu Akwamu Nation in North America www.odwirafo.com
