Black Man of the Nile and His Family (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0933121261/theorderofthesel/002-4569209-6574423)
by Yosef Ben-Jochannan


Black Man of the Nile and His Family, first published in 1972, is Dr. Ben's best known work. It captures much of the substance of his early research on ancient Africa. In a masterful and unique manner, Dr. Ben uses Black Man of the Nile to challenge and expose "Europeanized" African History. He points up the distortion after distortion made in the long record of African contributions to world civilization. Once exposed he attcks these distortions with a vengence, providing a spellbinding corrective lesson in our story.
