Product Description
The time has not yet come for a perfect history of the Negro peoples. Archæological research in Africa has just begun, and many sources of information in Arabian, Portuguese, and additional tongues are not fully at our mandate; and, too, it must frankly be confessed, racial prejudice against darker peoples is still too strong in so-called civilized centers for judicial appraisement of the peoples of Africa.

I had to read this book for my African Diasopra class and I had to read most of the lines twice because I didn’t know it. I have read the whole thing at least once and still have small to say of the contents. The afterword, but, was most helpful. It must have some really powerful words in it, but the sentence structure threw me off too much to know.

This book took me on a deep journey. Granted it may take most more than giving it a once over, but if you spend the time and effort to really get to know the book, and research exactly what the leader is adage it is well worth the time that you took to know it. A fantastic read, and will challenge even the most agile mind.

W.E.B Dubois is most legendary for being one of the founders of the N.A.A.C.P and for his critique of Booker T. Washington’s Atlanta Compromise speech in his now legendary The Souls of Black Folk which is required reading at most Black Studies Departments at universities throughout the United States in fact a predictable United States History program may have you read it as well;but, DuBois book the Negro for which this review is about seems to be less well loved and I find that many people have not read it and the historians who mention it rarely talk about it in detail, essentially the book gives a history of African people in Africa,America,and the Caribbean and talks about their accomplishments and struggles from very ancient(5000B.C) to modern times(1915). After reading this book I now know why many programs rarely use this book I can’t help but judge it is because the book is very Afrocentric in its structure…..I was shocked to find out that when it came to the history of very ancient Africa Dubois has more in common with the afrocentrist Molefi Asante than many may realize and less in common with the more well loved scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.(regardless of whether he is a part of the W.E.B Dubois Department at Harvard) I saw Henry Louis Gates PBS documentary Wonders of the African World maybe about five years ago and I remember how skeptical he was about connecting Very ancient Egypt to the rest of sub-saharan Africa……DuBois is not shy at all when he states that Egypt is indeed a part of Africa and that the people who founded Egypt were Negro(this was the word used at the time the book was written)Dubois was more radical than people realize he was one of the founders of Pan-African Congress I judge there were five in all, he would eventually place the N.A.A.C.P abandon the thought of integration, become a socialist(The F.B.I had a file on him), go back to Africa and die in Ghana…..in fact Dubois would have more in common with his enemy Marcus Garvey(Dubois in his early career would criticize Garvey for his back to Africa movement)than he would realize. Its a fantastic read for anyone interested in this African-American intellectual giant it may change your perspective on the man you reflect you know, but it should make you find him even more appealing. I will warn you that the book is dated it was written in 1915 so some of his theories are proven incorrect, one example would be that Dubois at the time thought that man originated in the Middle East, thanks to the archaeological and DNA record we now know that man originated in Africa, but delight in this book and may it increase our understanding of this fantastic man
