and tribute to Ivan Van Sertima and his work

It punctures several racial myths including those relating to anthropological theory. It throws light on African links with Sumer, South Asia and, not least, the Olmec and their successors in Mexico. It discusses the origins, the nature and the historical development of the Nile Valley civilisations, providing details of the dynasties. It brings together the author’s own research and that of Van Sertima and other Black scholars including Chancellor Williams, William Leo Hansberry, John G. This new book pays tribute to the great scholar, Ivan Van Sertima, author of They Came before Columbus and founder of the Journal of African Civilizations. In the first two volumes which have sold well, Black Star: The African Presence in Early Europe, and African Star over Asia: The African Presence in the East he interpreted the work of earlier scholars and provided new evidence of the important historical role of Black people in Europe and Asia. Uncovering the African Past: The Ivan Van Sertima Papers by Runoko Rashidi is the third in a trilogy by the well-known African- American scholar, Runoko Rashidi.
