Krátky popis
In a sweeping narrative that traverses 600 years, one that
eloquently weaves precise historical detail with poignant personal
reportage, Pulitzer Prize finalist Howard W. French retells the
story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the
economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in
America and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all
grew out of Europe's dehumanising engagement with the ",darkest",
continent. Born in Blackness dramatically retrieves the lives of
major African historical figures whose stories have been repeatedly
etiolated and erased over centuries, from unimaginably rich
medieval African emperors who traded with Asia, to Kongo sovereigns
who heroically battled seventeenth-century European powers, to
ex-slaves who liberated Haitians from bondage.In doing so, French
tells the story of gold, tobacco, sugar and cotton-and the greatest
",commodity", of all, the millions of people brought in chains from
Africa to the New World, whose reclaimed histories fundamentally
help explain our present world.
