African Intellectual Heritage: A Book of Sources

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Anthology of African and Diasporian Thought
Review: The book is an excellent source of African and Diasporian thought, scholarship, and epistemology. The authors do and excellent job juxtaposing the various creation stories using content analysis to show the parallells between the various creation stories. In addition, the authors do an excellent job of highlighting the various talented African scholars across the globe. The book is appropriately named and the content in the book definately lends itself to erudition.

Summary: A spectacular resource!
Review: This hefty volume doesn't waste any pages! From ancient Egyptian poetry & history to the modern origins of Kwanzaa, this one has it all. A tremendous resource for students or teachers of history, literature, culture, or religion. My only complaint is the omission of the prolific St. Augustine, but his work is widely available elsewhere.
