African Intellectual Heritage (African American Studies)

Enlightening

Essential reading for those that resonate with the black experience. This book gives an accomplished account of what I cam only describe as as a cannon of black thought through out the ages.

A beautiful sampling of many known and less known writers and thinkers from Africa and the African American diaspora. A must for any personal library and a great study resource.

Interesting reading.Full of unspoke of knowledge that if not shared will be lost.

Great Book

This hefty volume doesn't waste any pages! From ancient Egyptian poetry & history to the modern origins of Kwanzaa, this one has it all. A tremendous resource for students or teachers of history, literature, culture, or religion. My only complaint is the omission of the prolific St. Augustine, but his work is widely available elsewhere.

The book is an excellent source of African and Diasporian thought, scholarship, and epistemology. The authors do and excellent job juxtaposing the various creation stories using content analysis to show the parallells between the various creation stories. In addition, the authors do an excellent job of highlighting the various talented African scholars across the globe. The book is appropriately named and the content in the book definately lends itself to erudition.
