Born in Blackness

Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to the Second World War

Howard W. French

Born in Blackness is a sweeping historical narrative that reframes the origins of modernity by placing Africa and Africans at the center of the story. Author Howard W. French vividly demonstrates how Europe's dehumanizing engagement with Africa set the stage for the Age of Discovery and the economic ascendancy of Europe. With personal reportage and precise historical detail, French retrieves the lives of major African historical figures and reveals the long-concealed history of trivialization and elision of African achievements in modern history. This epic history sheds light on the present world, making it a compelling must-read for anyone interested in world history.

If there is one history book you read, this by @hofrench should be the one, so detailed, so readable, so sweeping in its scope, is reframing my understanding of world history for sure.      fuente
