Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Africas), by Sam
The history of Africa has mostly been hand-waived away. In a new perspective, what if we put Africa as the source of modernity? This book is the history of Black people's contributions to modernity and the rise of the West. Its a competent, well-researched investigation that documents the massive role of African resources and people in launching the Western worlds economic liftoff since the 1400s.
Revealing the central yet intentionally obliterated role of Africa in the creation of modernity, Born in Blackness vitally reframes our understanding of world history
