Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography
in America
by James Allen
I brought him to Fisk when
I taught there (he's white) and I have never seen an audience cry as
much as I did when he should the absolutely brutal pictures of how,
where and why We were lynched. This is very harsh stuff and everyone
should be cautioned when they
see it.
100
Years of Lynching
by Ralph Ginzburg
Another book by a Jewish
author but it is absolutely good.
The
Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews
by the Nation of Islam Research Department
This book is *very* controversial
in the US, but is extensively footnoted. Of course the Jews here freaked
out when it was published because it has a vague authorship. I know
who published it, but am not at liberty to say. Jews want to make it
appear that they had nothing to do with the TAST, but in fact much of
the trade, particularly to the Caribbean was financed by Jewish merchants.
Good book for documenting facts. I also like it because while the Jews
are pointing fingers "for us" to the Arabs, they fail to see
that four more are pointing to their own complicity in the trade.
King
Leopold's Ghost
by Adam Hochschild
Cikiah, you're familiar with
this well-documented book on the horrors inflicted upon the Kongo by
Belgium beginning in the middle part of the 19th century. An estimated
10,000,000 of our people were slaughtered and maimed by the only European
country who *did* not have a colony in Afrika.
The
Destruction of Black Civilization
by Chancellor Williams
No other book rivals the
sheer scope of telling what happened to Us for the past 1000 years.
Opinionated, Williams who taught at Howard before his death, believes
that the rape of Afrika should not neglect the brutality of both Europe
AND the Arabs. A powerful introduction to how the TAST began.
There
is a River
by Vincent Harding
Tells the story of Afrikans
in Amerikkka from their point of view from 1619 to the Civil War. They
are the subjects of the narrative rather than just the objects.
Historical
and Cultural Atlas of African Americans
by Asante, Molefi & Mattson, Mark (1991)
This book provides a panoramic
view of the history of African Americans---from Egypt to the present.
Asante provides a wealth of photographs, drawings and maps that help
to locate African people geographically, historically and psychologically.
A basic book for understanding African people. I like it because it
is well- documented and shows the paths of the TAST and how various
Afrikan groups were routed across the Atlantic.
Of
Revelation and Revolution:Christianity, Colonialism and Consciousness
in South Africa
by Comaroff, Jean and John (1991)
Presents the argument of
how Western Christianity was the fundamental
rationale for the establishment of apartheid in South Africa.
Africanisms
in American Culture
by Holloway, Joseph E. (1990)
This book examines the sometimes
unnoticed influence that African culture had on the development of American
linguistic formation, games, holidays and food. It shows the persistance
of Afrikan culture during and after the TAST in the so-called west.Pieterse,
Jan Nederven (1992) White on Black: Images of Africa and Blacks in Western
Popular Culture.
A rare book that documents
through extensive photographs and graphics how white supremacy was (is)
interwoven throughout the history of European domination of the Earth.
The Dutch author’s indictment of the cultural supports of white
supremacy is rare among European social scientists.
