How do you feel about this critique of Africananot sure if they've been posted, but this first one was probably the most influential "black" book ive read since autobiography of malcolm x
this second one is a must have also. it's our entire history from our perspective. or the closest thing we have to it.
The book claims to be a "concise desk reference". It does contain some 1130 pages. It does give capsules on many well-kown people of Black heritage as well as some notable events in world history pertaining to Blacks. But mostly it gives short biographical editorials of individuals around the world, devoting much of this to African Americans. Yet, the book has no mention of Prince Hall or Black masony. It devotes a very short amount to the man known throughout the world at one time as the most known person in the world, Muhammad Ali, world renouned boxing champion, among other noted things. Moreover, the book devotes more than twice as much writing to the singer Diana Ross and nearly three times as much to Queen Latifah. Again, I must note that the Scottsboro Boys matter received far less mention than that made of the entertainer Prince in the book. This book is far from a concise reference for in the field it claims. I would not recommend it.
