A review by andrewfontenelle
The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality by Cheikh Anta Diop, Mercer Cook

5.0

Cheikh Anta Diop has to be one of the great African Thinkers of the twentieth century. From the time he published his thesis in 1954, he has consistently challenged western ideas on Africa and its relationship to Ancient Egypt.

“The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality” represents his definitive work on early African Civilization and the origins of the Ancient Egyptians.

Definitely a must read for anyone interested in African History.
