Book Synopsis 100 Greatest African Americans by : Molefi Kete Asante
Download or read book 100 Greatest African Americans written by Molefi Kete Asante and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1619, when Africans first came ashore in the swampy Chesapeake region of Virginia, there have been many individuals whose achievements or strength of character in the face of monumental hardships have called attention to the genius of the African American people. This book attempts to distill from many wonderful possibilities the 100 most outstanding examples of greatness. Pioneering scholar of African American Studies Molefi Kete Asante has used four criteria in his selection: the individual''s significance in the general progress of African Americans toward full equality in the American social and political system; self-sacrifice and the demonstration of risk for the collective good; unusual will and determination in the face of the greatest danger or against the most stubborn odds; and personal achievement that reveals the best qualities of the African American people. In adopting these criteria Professor Asante has sought to steer away from the usual standards of popular culture, which often elevates the most popular, the wealthiest, or the most photogenic to the cult of celebrity. The individuals in this book - examples of lasting greatness as opposed to the ephemeral glare of celebrity fame - come from four centuries of African American history. Each entry includes brief biographical information, relevant dates, an assessment of the individual''s place in African American history with particular reference to a historical timeline, and a discussion of his or her unique impact on American society. Numerous pictures and illustrations will accompany the articles. This superb reference work will complement any library and be of special interest to students and scholars of American and African American history.

Book excerpt: The people of West Africa were among the earlier makers of a great civilization and cultures educations and institutions long before the arrival of western slavery, colonization and long before they appeared as slave on white's plantations in Jamestown, Virginia. Additionally, the rich and colorful history, art, and folklore of West Africa- the ancestral home of most African Americans- present evidence of this, and more. Contrary to a misconception that still prevails, Africans were familiar with medicine, science, craftsmanship, religion, literature, and art for many years before their contact with the western world. Before the disintegration of the political structures of the West African Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay and the eventual internal fights and struggled that created the condition for Western slavery and colonization of West Africa and the African continent. Most of the western African societies were the incubators of greatness such as universities, scholars, economic and industrial treading posts. The kings and military leaders were held in reverence by many in the earlier days. Far across Europe and Asia, traders encountered wealth and enlightenment from the African kingdoms that were striving for greatness. In ancient West Africa, some rulers expanded their kingdoms into empires and built great magnificent armies whose numbers coerced entire nations into submission. In the three great kingdoms, some military generals crafted techniques of military science that were adopted into modern-day military battles that have been used by western military leaders. There were scholars whose vision of life showed foresight and wisdom, and their priests and other religious personalities spoke of gods that were kind to humans and the universe. The kingdom or empire of Ghana was the first of the great Kingdoms of Western Sudan to become known to European explorers. According to some historical accounts, the kingdom of Ghana begins in the second century A.D. and has a known recorded history of one thousand years. However, some historians believe that Ghana was founded as early as 700 B.C. It is believed that an impressive list of 44 kings had ruled in that land before 1000 A.D. A dynasty of indigenous African kings came to power near the end of the eighth century (770 A.D.), some of the kings were believed to have come from Wagudugu. These were Mossi people who came from an area formerly called Upper Volta and now called Burkina Faso. These indigenous kings were called Sarakoles or Sonukes. The period from the beginning of this dynasty to the invasion of Ghana by Abu Bekr of the Sosso in 1076 A.D. was the Golden Age of ancient Ghana.

Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Women's Studies. Politics. African Studies. The rise of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to become the president of Liberia and the first woman elected to lead an African nation is one of the most inspiring stories of our time. But Sirleaf could not have done it alone. Among the people who worked tirelessly to help her achieve her victory was Washington, D.C.-based international consultant and lobbyist K. Riva Levinson. "A wonderful book about the extraordinary camaraderie between Africa's first woman president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and her loyal friend and political ally, Riva Levinson... a must- read for all those interested in... Liberia's recent and turbulent history, and the immense power of friendship and loyalty."—Johnnie Carson, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Affairs "A deeply moving story of two extraordinary women, from very different backgrounds, who worked together through thick and thin and achieved so much... I would highly recommend this book to all."—Joyce Banda, former President of Malawi "A riveting and compelling story that restores one's faith in humanity... a profound lesson to all of us on the vital importance of courage and perseverance to the pursuit of a life of purpose."—Tony Elumelu, Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Nigeria "A deeply personal and thoughtful book on some of the most important foreign policy issues of our time and a great read!"—Lloyd Pierson, former Director, U.S. Peace Corps, former President, African Development Foundation "A compelling set of stories... about how political capital was built by addition, multiplication, patience, and strategy by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Riva Levinson."—William R. Sweeney Jr., President and CEO, International Foundation for Electoral Systems "Riva's story reminds us that often the best, most challenging work comes to us when we least expect it and most need it. Her connection with President Sirleaf helped Liberia turn an important page in its history and further cemented the long existing bond between our countries."—U.S. Senator Chris Coons "Peace and democracy seemed far, far off to Liberians when brutal warlord Charles Taylor ruled. This fast-paced, crisply told story of Liberia's rebirth under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is inspiring and impressively honest."—U.S. Representative Ed Royce "Riva Levinson gives us a peek behind the curtain of how American foreign policy is formulated and practiced. A thoroughly engaging read from cover to cover."—U.S. Senator Jeff Flake "The inspiring story of two brilliant women who overcame the odds to make positive change in Liberia.
