Title: Just bad, bad, bad
Review: Reviewer: Roderick T. Long (see more about me) from Auburn Univesity, AlabamaAfrocentrism is not a truth that was covered up by white Europeans. It is a myth that was originally *developed* and *defended* by white Europeans. It is based on what the Greeks themselves said about ancient Egypt. And it was a plausible theory, UNTIL the Rosetta Stone was deciphered, enabling scholars to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics. From then on, we could study what the ancient Egyptians themselves said about their culture -- and what they said was in blatant conflict with the Greek account of Egypt. So "Afrocentrism" is really Eurocentric, since it is based on believing what imaginative Greek tourists said about Egypt rather than what the Egyptians themselves said. The title "Black Athena" is precisely wrong; Bernal isn't removing a Greek mask from an African face, but rather forcing one onto it.
