Reversing Sail: A History of the African Diaspora by Michael A. Gomez
challenging
informative
Read for Africans in the Americas for an MA in History at Tulane University.
This was a great introduciton to the topic of diasporic and introduces many thoughts and concepts that will be later discussed in my class. It introduced me to many topics I wasn't aware of and digs into the past of African diaspora rather than just the present.
The parts on the Bible and the Islamic World were most interesting to me since as a White American, my education on Africa is severely lacking.
