The African In Me

The African in me is a book based on a few narratives of African history from when the continent was great to how it lost almost everything to the outside world. It also includes how the continent can be great again. The reason I thought of writing this book was that I believed the history of Africa is either hidden, erased, misinterpreted, or whitewashed. This has kept the people of Africa in the dark for a long time. It is what has prevented an awakening; for if a people know of how great they can be then you cannot keep them under servitude.This is a book that talks of a land which was inhabited by a royal and intelligent people; people that gave birth to the world's greatest civilizations. These are stories that most Africans do not know about. It is because they have never been told to them. On the contrary, we have been told of a primitive people, of whom their entire existence has been branded as a shortcoming of nature. This book rewrites African history as it should have been told; it rewrites it as a history of greatness.
