They Came Before Columbus
"The African presence in ancient America"--Jacket subtitle.
Finding Afro-Mexico
In 2015, the Mexican state counted how many of its citizens identified as Afro-Mexican for the first time since independence. Finding Afro-Mexico reveals the transnational interdisciplinary histories that led to this celebrated reformulation of Mexican national identity. It traces the Mexican, African American, and Cuban writers, poets, anthropologists, artists, composers, historians, and archaeologists who integrated Mexican history, culture, and society into the African Diaspora after the Revolution of 1910. Theodore W. Cohen persuasively shows how these intellectuals rejected the nineteenth-century racial paradigms that heralded black disappearance when they made blackness visible first in Mexican culture and then in post-revolutionary society. Drawing from more than twenty different archives across the Americas, this cultural and intellectual history of black visibility, invisibility, and community-formation questions the racial, cultural, and political dimensions of Mexican history and Afro-diasporic thought.
The First Americans Were Africans: Expanded and Revised
This scholarly work by David Imhotep Ph,D. Presents keen insight into the ancient history of America. The reader will discover the long antiquity of African people in the New World, and how they contributed to the rise of civilization in the West: the archaeological , linguistic, and genetic evidence supports Dr. Imhotep's thesis of a Pre-Columbus, African presence in America. Multiple sources of evidence substantiate Dr.Imhotep's findings show that the first anatomically modern humans in the Americas came from Africa.
Africans and Native Americans
Jack D. Forbes's monumental Africans and Native Americans has become a canonical text in the study of relations between the two groups. Forbes explores key issues relating to the evolution of racial terminology and European colonialists' perceptions of color, analyzing the development of color classification systems and the specific evolution of key terms such as black, mulatto, and mestizo--terms that no longer carry their original meanings. Forbes also presents strong evidence that Native American and African contacts began in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.
Saga America
"Dr. Barry Fell, and Emeritus Professor at Harvard, documents trans Atlantic Old World incursions with much fresh evidence of Libyan, Carthaginian, Celtic, Greek, Roman, and Viking presences on the east Coast. But even more extraordinary is his documentation of pre Columbian Europeans and North Africans in the far West. Graeco Libyans, Dr. Fell demonstrates, used their sophisticated navigational skills to cross the Indian and Pacific Oceans to reach and settle in California and Nevada from the third centruey B.C. Their inscriptions, in the form of petroglyphs, have been carefully recorded in the past by scholars, but until Dr. Fell translated them, their significance was a matter of mystified conjecture, and they were ascribed vaguely to some lost Indian culture... Dr. Fell describes how Thomas Jefferson had suspected a relationship between some American Indian and North African languages. In Jefferson's spirit, Fell pursued his researches in North Africa and found astounding confirmation of his discoveries, both in complementary documentation and in the enthusiastic recognition by North African scholars."
