Africans and Native Americans

The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples

De: Jack D. Forbes

Narrado por: Bill Andrew Quinn

This volume will revise the way we look at the modern populations of Latin America and North America by providing a totally new view of the history of Native-American and African-American peoples throughout the hemisphere. Africans and Native Americans explores key issues relating to the evolution of racial terminology and European colonialists' perceptions of color, analyzing the development of color classification systems and the specific evolution of key terms such as black, mulatto, and mestizo, which no longer carry their original meanings. Jack Forbes presents strong evidence that Native American and African contacts began in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean and that Native Americans may have crossed the Atlantic long before Columbus.

Magnificent!

This book had me taking notes! I'm most definitely going to have to give a second run to absorb all the information.

Food for Thought

we absolutely don't know today, the actual reality of racism until we know the history of it, as Prof. Forbes has so generously revealed to us in this work. Thank You for the Legacy Dr. Forbes
