Hep hep hooray!!!
I'd love a peek at the bibliography.
The term susu is known pretty well. Any other Afrikan systems as sucessful?
Nah, I don't mean laboring in Eurasia/Americas and MoneyGram ripping off what you send back home.
XD author couldn't susu up no cover artist XD
What you say is so so true. Invoking racial solidarity is a weak pillar. "Racial solidarity" is already a given operative. If it isn't autonomous it won't work. The system's socio-economics merit its application by the culture/ethny considering it or it doesn't. But you know without that extra flava some Mah G's wouldn't give a 2nd glance.
U r ten tera times absolutely right. A plan in print must detail steps to implement it. It ain't got be bulletted like the Chancellor did it can be part the text like in Plan to Planet

Barukh haba to ESR Sure wish your Tribalisation and Destruction of Rwanda was available too. Inganji Karinga was the first book written in Runyarwanda about the history of Rwanda.The first volume was published in 1943 and the second in 1947. The author was Alexis Kagame who was trained as a priest. King Mutara Rudahigwa who was impressed by the young seminarian’s enthusiasm in the studies of Rwandan history, agreed to provide him with whatever he needed to put Rwandan history in a written form. Rwanda as an ancient kingdom had a very long history that was carefully memorized by Rwandan oral historians for centuries, therefore, Kagame had an easy time recording it from those historians who had memorized it word by word from generations to generations. Belgians who had colonized Rwanda were not happy about the book, because in their colonies the history was supposed to be written by the colonizer not the colonized. Therefore for Kagame to tell Rwandans that they lived in a great nation that their ancestors had established and turned into the largest nation in the sub Saharan Africa, it made Belgians quite uneasy and began to censor his publications and at one point he was placed under house arrest. Belgians’ policies in their African colonies were to “Faire l’home noir oublier ses ancetres (make the black man forget his ancestors),” and here comes Kagame telling Rwandans who their great ancestors were. It was a sacrilege in the eyes of Belgians,who did everything they could to discredit him and his work.After independence Kagame continued his research and published about a dozen books and articles that are the basis for Rwandan History as we know it. Recent archeological studies have supported his work and concluded that indeed Rwandans set up their nation around three thousand years ago, when they raised cattle, grew large quantities of sorghum and millet and soon afterwards they were making good iron tools. With good climate, high altitude, good weather free of mosquitoes and tsetse flies,and a sophisticated political institutions in place, Rwandans were able to stand up to foreign enemies and were even able to stop slave traders. The French version of this book by the same author is “La Notion de generation appliquee a la genealogie dynastique et a l’histoire du Rwanda des Xe – XIe siecles a nos jours.” It will be soon available on ebook in both French and English.

A wild stab in the darkness but, is he in anyway connected to the current leader Paul Kagame,?? And the Kingdom of Rwanda was it a fact that it was the largest nation in Africa.. Keep in mind I know virtually nothing of that nation beyond what the Coloniza wrote.

The translator is one of our brand new members. My post was a welcome to the forum to him. He can best answer that question for you.
And a thousand thanks reconnoitering the Sahara book. Yes sir, Amazon was where I clipped its front cover. I've no resources to xlate Japanese so w/o a preview it's a risky buy, whereas I have had both Hachid and Mori and can recommend them to personal library builders.

If you can't buy BLACK then buy where YOURS work. And I mean a lot o US not the single solitary token only one. Unless that one is you << haha>>. Popped into a Barnes&Noble today. Thought I'd pick up a stray CD or DVD. Whoops! Wrong era. Down the stream. Meandering around I stumbled into their world history section. 3 books on AE. An old art book featuring the collection of non-facs that included BOG 4.5. A Fletcher book with no mention of ethnicity or physical anthropology but attributed mummy yellow and red hair to chemical reaction on grey hair. Then there was this Hawass coffee table book. I bought it for the illos. Great color separation. The browns are brown not that phony red tint. But these are what Mr/Ms Average American will pick up when casually shopping and AE comes to their mind. But is there a book on AE history published this decade and authored by one of ours? Not an Amen Corner Schwartzen uber alles production. Actual hard-copy on paper. Offered by a publishing house. From generation to generation the struggle is continuous/ongoing. Can't win it if you don't know it. If you won't compete you can't defeat. Ciao for now.

The way this book is laid out is like Diop (1986) Precolonial Black Africa -- the English xlation edition. This book would not have been possible without the help of venerable Muslim Scholars of Katsina Emirate in Northern Nigeria. There, in 1966, Mallams Urwatu, Muhammad Bello, Aminu Ibrahim, Gado, and Muhammad Dikko taught me the methodology of the traditional historians. I thank K.Y. Daaku of the University of Ghana, who in 1961 opened my eyes to Africa's rich cultural heritage and inspired me to pursue a career in African historical studies.

This guy Hull sumpin else! African Cities and Towns before the European Conquest (1976) 138 pages 7 pg biblio 80+ photos diagrams maps I once owned a thin red book written more recently. Can't do a side by side comparison. Will say Hull's book is easily worth $100+. I lucked up and caught a library discard. Now why the University of Wisconsin booted this book ... ? Oh, copy #2. Thx Oshkosh, I needed that. And we all need to fish when university libraries stock the pond.

I now realize everybody here is in a cultural political state of naivete and have no sense of purpose solidarity or collective struggle and thus out the loop of Diopian Africana Methodology which requires activism not mere "dreaming of boss black civilizations that once flourished and grew" while "drowning in a puddle of the white man's spit".
Should ones desire to grasp where I'm coming from, it's from association with set seriously dedicated Afrimericans who consider themselves Afrikans in America.
Beyond externals and pseudo-conscious fads in clothing, adornments, hairstyles, and slogans. The real and only lasting substance is mentality. Passing a received tradition intact from generation to generation.

This was kinda covered in another folder about a possible movie. But personally I'm looking fwd to this book African Samurai [ The remarkable life of history's first foreign-born samurai and his astonishing journey from Northern Africa to the heights of Japanese societyWhen Yasuke arrived in Japan in the late 1500s, he had already traveled much of the known world. Kidnapped as a child, and trained into a boy soldier in India, he had ended up an indentured servant and bodyguard to the head of the Jesuits in Asia, with whom he visited India, China and the budding Catholic missions in Japan. From the volatile port city of Nagasaki to travel on pirate-infested waters, he lived it all and learned more every day. His arrival in Kyoto, however, literally caused a riot. Most Japanese people had never seen an African man before, and many of them viewed him as the embodiment of the black-skinned (in local traditions) Buddha or a local war god or demon. Among those who were drawn to his presence were Lord Nobunaga, head of the most powerful clan in Japan, who made Yasuke a samurai in his court. Soon, he was learning the traditions of Japan's martial arts, fighting in battles and ascending to the upper echelons of Japanese society.In the four hundred years since, Yasuke has been known in Japan largely as a legendary, perhaps mythical, figure. Now, combining all the primary sources for the first time, African Samurai presents the never-before-told biography of this unique figure of the sixteenth century, one whose travels between countries, cultures and classes offers a new perspective on race in world history and a vivid portrait of life, faith and war in medieval Japan.] www.academia.edu/37675139/African_Samurai_The_True_Story_of_Yasuke_a_Legendary_Black_Warrior_in_Feudal_JapanAnother Book that got sold out is already talked about Black Leopard, Red Wolf. [ The following is an excerpt from chapter 4 of Black Leopard, Red Wolf, the new fantasy novel by Marlon James which kicks off the Dark Star fantasy trilogy. The novel follows a mysterious narrator named Tracker, who is hired to join a hunt for a missing boy and makes several startling discoveries along the way. ] ew.com/books/2019/01/28/black-leopard-red-wolf-marlon-james-excerpt/

A couple of to read list. A Fist Of Shells, the contents dealt with the History of mainly West African traders including the rise of the Black Atlantic, including voices from the African perspective, you may have to rethink what you believed to be true about such interactions.
A Fist Full Of Shells
[ Introduction On 28 July 1649, Garcia II, the manikongo, sat down to compose a letter to his counterpart, King João IV of Portugal. The Court of the Kongolese king was a luxurious affair, rich with carpets and tapestries from Flanders, cloths woven in India and silver-inlaid dining services and religious ornaments made from the ores of the New World. There were pearls fished by enslaved African divers in the Caribbean, and then sold on by Venetian traders. Beyond the high-status foreign imports, the Court was also filled with woven Kongo cloths inlaid with symbolic meanings, and the manikongo and his chief advisers wore strings of coral beads and red sashes in the Kongo style. Secretaries sat at the manikongo’s side and inscribed his letters, which he then signed off with a flourish: for he wrote to the Portuguese king as someone whom he saw as an equal in the ‘great game’, which at that time took in Atlantic African kingdoms such as Allada, Benin, Denkyira and Kongo, as well as China and the rising European powers.]
