Book Synopsis Africa, the Origin of Life and Black the Color of God by : Tiebet Joshua
Download or read book Africa, the Origin of Life and Black the Color of God written by Tiebet Joshua and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK: Africa: The Origin of Life is a 10-year painstaking research on the Bibles story of mankinds cosmogony of which 7 out of the 10 years spent on the research were on full time basis. The Bible says that God created one man in the beginning and went ahead to describe the location of the habitation of the first man. Two important issues in the Bibles story were of great interest to the Author for which he set out to research. These were: ? If the Bible story were taken to be true, it then means that the multi-races and colors in humanity today only came to be years after the creation of the first man, which means that originally, humanity only had one race and color from that man to a certain point in its history. That being so, what was the original color of that man? In other words, was he a Caucasian, a Mongolian, a Negro or an Amerindian and when did the multi-races and colors of people that we have today come to be? ? The earth has gone through so many changes through earthquakes, landslides, tumults, ocean drifts and desert encroachments, and etc., over the years since the creation of the first man. Taking all these into consideration, is it still possible to establish the location of Eden where our first parents lived? In other words, was Eden in America, Europe, Asia, or Africa? And if we are able to establish the continent which Eden was located, is it not correct to say that the first man was a native of that continent? ? Africa is poor and backward today, what are the causes of Africas backwardness? Is there any hope for Africa, or has God forsaken Africa? These and more are the salient questions that this book has biblically, scientifically and historically found answers to. The book is highly explosive and revealing. It would cause so much ripples and likely going to change some of your Biblical beliefs.
Book Synopsis Sensuous Knowledge by : Minna Salami
Download or read book Sensuous Knowledge written by Minna Salami and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creator of the internationally popular, multiple award-winning blog MsAfropolitan applies an Africa-centered feminist sensibility to issues of racism and sexism, challenging our illusions about oppression and liberation and daring women to embrace their power. Sensuous Knowledge is a collection of thought provoking essays that explore questions central to how we see ourselves, our history, and our world. What does it mean to be oppressed? What does it mean to be liberated? Why do women choose to follow authority even when they can be autonomous? What is the cost of compromising one’s true self? What narratives particularly subjugate women and people of African heritage? What kind of narrative can heal and empower? As she considers these questions, Salami offers fresh insights on key cultural issues that impact women’s lives, including power, beauty, and knowledge. She also examines larger subjects, such as Afrofuturism, radical Black feminism, and gender politics, all with a historical outlook that is also future oriented. Combining a storyteller’s narrative playfulness and a social critic’s intellectual rigor, Salami draws upon a range of traditions and ideologies, feminist theory, popular culture—including insights from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and others—science, philosophy, African myths and origin stories, and her own bold personal narrative to establish a language for change and self-liberation. Sensuous Knowledge inspires reflection and challenge us to formulate or own views. Using ancestral knowledge to steer us toward freedom, Salami reveals the ways that women have protested over the years in large and small ways—models that inspire and empower us to define our own sense of womanhood today. In this riveting meditation, Salami ask women to break free of the prison made by ingrained male centric biases, and build a house themselves—a home that can nurture us all.

Book Synopsis The Origin of Races and Color by : Martin Robison Delany
Download or read book The Origin of Races and Color written by Martin Robison Delany and published by Black Classic Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the books authored by Martin R. Delany (1812-1885), The Origin of Races and Color is perhaps the most obscure. Out-of-print until now, it has been available to the public only through select libraries. At the time of its publication in 1879, this valuable resource presented a bold challenge to racist views of African inferiority. Delany wrote in opposition to a developing oppressive intellectualism that used Darwin's thesis, "the survival of the fittest," to support its demented theories of Black inferiority. Skillfully blending biblical history, archaeology and anthropology, Delany offered evidence to the "serious inquirer" suggesting the first humans were African, and that these Africans were ". . . builders of the pyramids, sculptors of the sphinxes, and original god-kings. . . ." With such radical assertions, Delany advanced a model of ancient history that contradicted the very foundation of intellectual racism. He believed knowledge of one's past was essential, and that it could provide Black people with the regenerative force necessary to inspire their self-improvement. Were he alive today, Delany would certainly feel at home with the present generation of Africancentrists, especially since he developed and articulated so many of their arguments more than a century ago.

Book Synopsis The Riddles of Africa folk Souls by : Max O. Thompson-Eleogu
Download or read book The Riddles of Africa folk Souls written by Max O. Thompson-Eleogu and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book We are living in a period where the old age is dying, and the new age is not yet born. We must ask ourselves these questions. What is an authentic lifestyle? What is the proper social order? These are significant questions, and as crucial as they are, they need answers and answers that are true. Rather, the consensus is that these answers are beyond the apprehension of Africans. Other questions covered in this book are: What is the human soul? Why do we suffer from the disintegration of the soul? Are we truly free or dependent on the iron rule of the machine world? What is cosmic thought and its relation to human soul? What is the problem of intuitive flash and the myth of Western modernity? What is national identity and values? These questions have their root in the symptom of disrupted historical period that plagued the world and the entire continent of Africa. The plague obliterated our ways of life, and it was replaced with a machine world which denied us of the mysteries of the living earth and the human soul. Currently, this plague continues to haunt us because post-colonial African states were born out of this plague. In this book, I believed that the problem of Africa could be resolved in placing it in a wider context of world historical consciousness because Africa is a part of the world and its crisis. About the Author Max O. Thompson-Eleogu is a native Nigerian, who lives and was schooled in the United States of America, for both his undergraduate program and graduate program. He authored the book AFRICA---THE ROAD TO AFRO-MODERNITY. He is a Distinguished Fellow and founder of NobbleAfriq Institute, a select and innovative think-tank, whose trajectory is the transformation of African politics and its people. He was trained as a philosopher with an unwavering interest in African philosophy, African American philosophy and Continental philosophy. His other interests include African Mysticism and Spiritualism.

Book Synopsis Color of the Skin by : Mitiku Ashebir
Download or read book Color of the Skin written by Mitiku Ashebir and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Color of the Skin talks about the color of human skin, which ironically does not exist. However, rather than rejecting the premises of traditional awareness about skin color, the book uses existing perceptions as departure points in examining the inherent characteristics and social trappings surrounding skin color. The book defines the subject, namely color of the skin, with considerable precision, elaborating on its various aspects by dialing forward accounts of ponderings that occurred far back in time and place but that are still fresh and substantive. It successfully distills a few fundamental concepts that widely contrast—in some instances, clash—with existing, popularly known, and commonly understood notions concerning skin color. The book provides comparative descriptions in settings representing two countries: Ethiopia, where color of the skin is straightforward, literal, and simple, where it is used primarily for identifying people, and the United States, where color of the skin is heavily loaded, complex, formal, institutionalized, and often political. The parameters in each abode provide adequate details, indicating the scope and implications of the consequences of the resultant attitudes, actions, and practices thereof, especially in the latter. The author proposes that color is a continuum by hosting a virtual tour through reading trips from the equator out in four directions—north, east, west, and south—narrating all the way, describing and interpreting the topography of human color, which cascades in all directions. Further, the writer suggests that no two persons will have the same color tone, spread, and texture. This is equivalent to saying that there is an individual color but there is no group color. It is close to saying that color of the skin is like fingerprints—each person’s being different from the next. So the gross color division of black and white may be salvaged only when used for convenience and only for immediate references. Any effort to institutionalize and formalize color betrays its natural constitution and thereby compounds the social, economic, and political problems that it has caused. Progressively, the book postulates credible concepts that demonstrate grouping people into black and white is arbitrary, is subjective, and worse, in very significant ways, is often prodded with intentional and exploitive motives. The book invites readers to imagine the reverse of the current world order surrounding the color of skin, putting everyone in good view to appreciate what the world might look like if fortunes tagged to color lines were overturned around the world. The scenario presented under the section “Imagining the Reverse” is one of the light parts of the book, but at its core, the discourse here is indeed about a very serious matter. The author observes that the various configurations used to differentiate countries by slicing them into developed and developing and second and third world countries follow skin color contours. The issue of skin color is elevated to international levels, drawing plausible conclusions that unfortunately, the disadvantages of such perspectives outweigh the advantages. The perceptions derived from such consensus affect world outlook on a number of issues—immigration, bilateral and multilateral economic relations, and individual country’s aspirations, to mention a few—perhaps rendering faulty designs on a national and international scale. The writer takes futuristic perspective, touching on global warming—never mind the causes for now—flagging it as a colossal development that can have an impact on the color of the skin, big time. In this vein, the author surmises that global warming is likely to relentlessly rub against the human skin, turning lighter skin to dull. Brown may be the universal color of the future. The principal motivation of going the distance the book has stretched to pursuing the issue of skin color is to ameliorate the stark differences, biases, and prejudices that old positions have unabatedly generated for a long time both in specific countries and worldwide. Accordingly, a few indicators that are considered to be harbingers of a friendlier, cohesive, fair, peaceful, and prosperous world have been identified. The layout of the preferences to achieve a new, positive, and more functional world order leans on cooperation, understanding, collaboration, and peace—all demands of global realities of today and tomorrow. The discussions that close the book, in addition to heralding where the author is going with the stretch of ideas on color of skin, demonstrate that integration, the impetus for the book, is a two-way traffic and cannot happen without all parties involved being intentional and prepared to change. Often, life is about overcoming differences and savoring similarities. Where there are differences, changes and adaptations are required. The section on integration demonstrates this phenomenon. Tangentially, the book also offers unassuming proposition for peace between Israel and Palestine and a point of view for restructuring the US refugee program.

Book Synopsis Deep Enough for Ivorybills by : James Kilgo
Download or read book Deep Enough for Ivorybills written by James Kilgo and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2013-06-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the account of a man's initiation into the outdoors heritage of his home territory. Jim Kilgo was born and raised not to far from the bottomlands of the Great Pee Dee River in South Carolina, but it was not until he was grown that he began to respond to the powerful lure of the forests, fields, and swamplands of the South and the wildlife that inhabit them. For Kilgo, reentry into the wilderness becomes a window on the life that men can lead, within nature and out of it. His tales of hunting and fishing will delight anyone who has ever used rod or gun, yet by no means is this a book for devotees of hunting alone. What is rediscovered here illuminates the lives of human beings who, all to often unknowingly, are integrally part of the larger rhythms of nature and the seasons.
