<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"They Came Before Columbus" reveals a compelling, dramatic, and superbly detailed documentation of the presence and legacy of Africans in ancient America. 32 page photo insert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A landmark . . . brilliantly [demonstrates] has that there is far more to black history than the slave trade."--John A. Williams</b><br><b> </b><br><i>They Came Before Columbus</i> reveals a compelling, dramatic, and superbly detailed documentation of the presence and legacy of Africans in ancient America. Examining navigation and shipbuilding; cultural analogies between Native Americans and Africans; the transportation of plants, animals, and textiles between the continents; and the diaries, journals, and oral accounts of the explorers themselves, Ivan Van Sertima builds a pyramid of evidence to support his claim of an African presence in the New World centuries before Columbus. <p/>Combining impressive scholarship with a novelist's gift for storytelling, Van Sertima re-creates some of the most powerful scenes of human history: the launching of the great ships of Mali in 1310 (two hundred master boats and two hundred supply boats), the sea expedition of the Mandingo king in 1311, and many others. In <i>They Came Before Columbus, </i> we see clearly the unmistakable face and handprint of black Africans in pre-Columbian America, and their overwhelming impact on the civilizations they encountered.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Fascinating."<b><i>--The Atlantic Monthly</i><br></b> <br> "An immensely impressive book . . . well-written and clear."<b><i>--Essence</i><br></b> <br> "I can't praise this book enough! I kept shaking my head over its power."<b><i>--Ishmael Reed</i><br></b> <br> "Comprehensive and convincing . . . a big boost to black cultural history."<i><b>--Publishers Weekly<br></b> </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ivan Van Sertima</b>'s pioneering work in linguistics and anthropology has appeared in numerous scholarly journals. Professor Van Sertima teaches Afro-American studies at Rutgers University.
