About this product

Product Information

Not Out of Africa has sparked widespread debate over the teaching of revisionist history in schools and colleges. Was Socrates black? Did Aristotle steal his ideas from the library in Alexandria? Do we owe the underlying tenets of our democratic civilizaiton to the Africans? Mary Lefkowitz explains why politically motivated histories of the ancient world are being written and shows how Afrocentrist claims blatantly contradict the historical evidence. Not Out of Africa is an important book that protects and argues for the necessity of historical truths and standards in cultural education. For this new paperback edition, Mary Lefkowitz has written an epilogue in which she responds to her critics and offers topics for further discussion. She has also added supplementary notes, a bibliography with suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of names.

    Ancient Knowledge Comes from Where?

    This is a brave exposé to the sham history promoted by Afro-centrist activists, who have even suggested that Socrates was dark skinned, and that Aristotle's wisdom came from the Egyptian library at Alexandria (which wasn't built until after his death). The author was accused of bigotry, racism, etc., for her efforts to present the facts of history.

    Courage.

    Finally, someone with the courage to face down the black racists who ignore all facts and history to create a mythical African paradise which exists only in their minds. Tha Africans produced a great many wonderful artifacts and concepts. They don't need a bunch of un- or under-educated apologists who are the exact counterparts of the white racists who think everything black is bad.
