History in Black : African-Americans in search of an ancient past / Yaacov Shavit.
"This book is a critical study of Afrocentrist historical writing - a radical project of 'counter-history', based on racial theory, which places the 'black race' at the centre of human history, as the progenitor and inventor of ancient cultures."--Jacket
