In fact, French reveals, the first impetus for the Age of Discovery was not―as we are so often told, even today―Europe’s yearning for ties with Asia, but rather its centuries-old desire to forge a trade in gold with legendarily rich Black societies sequestered away in the heart of West Africa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreating a historical narrative that begins with the commencement of commercial relations between Portugal and Africa in the fifteenth century and ends with the onset of World War II, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBorn in Blackness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e interweaves precise historical detail with poignant, personal reportage.

As French shows, the achievements of sovereign African nations and their now-far-flung peoples have time and again been etiolated and deliberately erased from modern history. As the West ascended, their stories―siloed and piecemeal―were swept into secluded corners, thus setting the stage for the hagiographic “rise of the West” theories that have endured to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Capacious and compelling” (Laurent Dubois), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBorn in Blackness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is epic history on the grand scale.

Like them, I have often wondered where I connect on the African continent. So I ventured out to answer that question. In Nov 2013, I took my first trip to Africa, specifically Nigeria. The people told me that I looked like I was from the Igbo and Yoruba people, two of the largest people groups (also known as tribes) in Nigeria, the largest country on the African continent. The visit was only ten days that went by too fast, leaving me yearning to return, but it would be six long years before I was able to set my feet on African soil again. Found My People is the inspirational story of how one African American connected to his ancestral roots and the revolutionary way that decision has immeasurably changed and enriched his life!

The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium—one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist  Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo’s new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.” Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization’s biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help—an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo’s rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 1960–61 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52344195350844,"sku":"9781984899149","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/9781984899149.jpg?v=1761423691"},{"product_id":"the-capeverdean-dictionary-english-to-creole","title":"9780684872926","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWith support from President José Maria Neves, this dictionary is more than a resource—it’s a celebration of language, culture, and identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA decade in the making, this landmark dictionary by Manuel Da Luz Gonçalves and Team Mili Mila is the first of its kind—an English to Capeverdean Creole reference capturing over 100,000 Creole words and expressions, with examples from both Sotavento and Barlavento variations.

Current interpretations stress three main causes for the genocide: ethnic identity, ideology, and mass-media indoctrination (in particular the influence of hate radio). Straus's research does not deny the importance of ethnicity, but he finds that it operated more as a background condition. Instead, Straus emphasizes fear and intra-ethnic intimidation as the primary drivers of the violence. A defensive civil war and the assassination of a president created a feeling of acute insecurity. Rwanda's unusually effective state was also central, as was the country's geography and population density, which limited the number of exit options for both victims and perpetrators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn conclusion, Straus steps back from the particulars of the Rwandan genocide to offer a new, dynamic model for understanding other instances of genocide in recent history―the Holocaust, Armenia, Cambodia, the Balkans―and assessing the future likelihood of such events.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LongLeaf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52515863920956,"sku":"9780801474927","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/toogrwanda.jpg?v=1764608547"},{"product_id":"the-plot-to-save-south-africa-the-week-mandela-averted-civil-war-and-forged-a-new-nation-hardcover-justice-malala-author","title":"The Plot to Save South Africa: The Week Mandela Averted Civil War and Forged a New Nation by Justice Malala","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e “gripping and important” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e account of nine tumultuous days, as the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatens to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohannesburg, Easter weekend, 1993.

Food, she understood from a young age, was the essence of her family’s Ghanaian culture. It was represented in the red palm oil that colored their stews; it was pounded into the plantain and cassava-based fufu they ate with soups; and it shone through in the indigenous spices that flavored kebabs and so much more. So, when her family immigrated to North America and Afia found herself drawn to a plant-based lifestyle, she worried that her connection to her home country would be lost. But happily, as she immersed herself more in West Africa’s culinary traditions, seeking to learn about and replicate the recipes she grew up on, food offered that connection to Ghana.
