  2. Before the Slave Trade: African World History in Pictures. Robin Walker Before The Slave Trade provides novices to Black History and teachers of Egyptology or African Civilizations with key photographic images as visual proof of the greatness of the Black past. Such visual resources are always necessary and it is important that such resources are readily accessible, especially as teaching material.     This book bridges the immense gap between what scholars know about the early history and achievements of Black people and what the general public knows. This gulf has unfortunately remained constant for over a hundred years.   This book serves as both an introduction and a supplementary volume to our much larger work When We Ruled. There is almost no overlap between the two books but they complement each other well.    It shows the role of Black men and women in the development of high cultures in Africa before the coming of the Europeans. It also shows the role of Black men and women in the origin and evolution of high cultures that have shaped the world, such as Ancient Nubia, Ancient Egypt, Carthage, and the Moorish Empire. Challenging the view that the African was peripheral to the development of world civilisation, it also shows the critical role of Black people in the ancient civilisations of the East (i.e. Phoenicia, Judah, Arabia Felix, Sumer, Elam, and the Indus Valley). Finally, it discusses the role of Africans in the ancient and medieval history of Central America. This is an essential book for everyone. Especially for African and African descendent people. The most important characteristic of this book is that the sources are referenced and cross referenced leaving no room for misinterpretation and vague claims. Some of the illustrations are beautiful and inspiring. Another important is that most of the sources are European, which eliminates any doubt of bias from the author. Click here for more
