Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book used historical sources from explorers, priests, and colonizers to describe the appearance of the indigenous peoples found in the Americas in the 14th, 15th, 16th centuries. From the witnesses own descriptions these people were dark copper-toned woolly-haired peoples often referred to by the witnesses as ethiopian and or negro. These are the ancestors so many so-call African-American elders spoke of to their children and grandchildren. This book should be required reading as well as be on every "black" family's book shelf. A fascinating read without the politics of the western scholar. I would also suggest another book entitled When Rocks Cry Out by Horace Butler.
