by Runoko Rashidi (Author)
Renowned scholar Runoko Rashidi investigates one of the most compelling and underexplored questions in world history: the African presence in Asia.
Building on decades of research, Rashidi traces the historical and cultural connections between Africa and Asia across Iraq, Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The book also addresses the age of enslavement and examines how dominant historical narratives have marginalized or distorted evidence of Africa's global impact.
Incorporating the work of major scholars such as Cheikh Anta Diop and Ivan Van Sertima, and including personal travel accounts and museum research, this richly illustrated volume is both scholarly and accessible. Essential reading for students, researchers, and general readers interested in African diaspora history and global civilization.
