Virtually anyone, anywhere knows that six million Jewish human beings were killed in the Jewish Holocaust. But how many African human beings were killed in the Black Holocaust - from the start of the European slave trade (c. 1500) to the Civil War (1865)? And how many were enslaved? The Black Holocaust, a travesty that killed millions of African human beings, is the most underreported major event in world history. A major economic event for Europe and Asia, a near fatal event for Africa, the seminal event in the history of every African American - if not every American! - and most of us cannot answer the simplest question about it. Here is a sample of what you will get from the painstakingly researched, painfully honest The Black Holocaust For Beginners:
"The total number of slaves imported is not known. It is estimated that nearly 900,000 came to America in the 16th Century, 2.75 million in the 17th Century, 7 million in the 18th, and over 4 million in the 19th - perhaps 15 million in total. Probably every slave imported represented, on average, five corpses in Africa or on the high seas. The American slave trade, therefore, meant the elimination of at least 60 million Africans from their fatherland."
The Black Holocaust For Beginners - part indisputably documented chronicle, part passionately engaging narrative, puts the tragic event in plain sight where it belongs! The long overdue book answers all of your questions, sensitively and in great depth.
About the Author
S.E. Anderson, a veteran actiovist/educator, has been in the Black Liberation Movement on many levels. He is not only a mathematics professor, a Senior Editor (NOBO: Journal of African Dialogue), a founding member of the Network of Black Organizers and of The African Heritage Studies Association but also an essayist on a variety of topics related to black culture and liberation as well as science and technology. His political and cultural activism in his native New York City ranges from helping to fund the New York City Algebra Project to being a founding member of the New York City Coalition For Excellence In Black Education.
As a young activist, Anderson was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and helped found the Black Panther Party in Harlem in 1966. He has been active in the African Liberation Support Movement since 1964 and participated in the historic Black student/community struggle against Columbia University's encroachment into Harlem in 1968. Ironically, almost twenty years later, he became a Columbia University Revson Fellow (1986-7). In addition, he has taught mathematics, science, and Black Studies at Queens College...
Anderson became one of the first Black Studies Chairs, when in 1969 he accepted the challenge at Sarah Lawrence College to create a department that included mathematics and the natural sciences as part of a Black Studies Curriculum.
The Black Holocaust: Kwa ajili ya Waanzaji (Paperback) Tafuta vitabu au vitabu vya elektroniki Karibu kila mtu, mahali popote anajua kwamba Wayahudi milioni sita waliuawa katika Holocaust ya Kiyahudi. Ni watu wangapi wa Afrika waliouawa katika maangamizi ya Wamarekani, kuanzia mwanzo wa biashara ya watumwa ya Ulaya (karibu 1500) hadi Vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe (1865)? Na ni wangapi waliotumwa? Holocaust ya Black, mzaha ambao uliua mamilioni ya watu wa Afrika, ni tukio kubwa lisiloripotiwa sana katika historia ya ulimwengu. Tukio kubwa la kiuchumi kwa Ulaya na Asia, tukio karibu la kifo kwa Afrika, tukio la msingi katika historia ya kila Mmarekani wa Kiafrika - ikiwa si kila Mmarekani! - na wengi wetu hatuwezi kujibu swali rahisi zaidi kuhusu hilo. "Hii ni mfano wa kile utakachopata kutoka kwa utafiti wa bidii, wa uaminifu kwa uchungu, ""The Black Holocaust for Beginners"" - ""Idadi ya jumla ya watumwa waliopelekwa haijulikani." Inakadiriwa kwamba karibu watu 900,000 walifika Amerika katika karne ya 16, milioni 2.75 katika karne ya 17, milioni 7 katika karne ya 18, na zaidi ya milioni 4 katika karne ya 19 - labda milioni 15 kwa jumla. Yaelekea kila mtumwa aliyeleta, kwa wastani, aliwakilisha maiti tano katika Afrika au baharini. Biashara ya watumwa ya Marekani ilisababisha kuangamizwa kwa Waafrika milioni 60 kutoka nchi yao.
