In this powerful and deeply personal volume, renowned historian Runoko Rashidi honors the life and legacy of the great scholar Ivan Van Sertima while advancing the global study of African civilizations. Drawing upon decades of research, Rashidi revisits the Nile Valley, explores Africa's links to Asia and the Americas, and challenges persistent racial myths that have distorted world history. Bringing together essays inspired by the groundbreaking work of They Came Before Columbus and the Journal of African Civilizations, this volume is both tribute and testimony. It is a bold affirmation that Africa's past is central to humanity's story—and that its memory must never fade.
