"Introduction to African Civilization"
Reviews John G. Jackson's work on afro-centrism and the importance of African culture to the Western world.
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages) | 1 source | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

John G. Jackson dispels many myths about African civilization. He demonstrates that it was actually African civilization that provided the foundation for Western greatness in general. Afro-centrism, in other words, is very much validated by this important book. We begin to understand that the white dominant power structure in Western society has, for a long time, socially constructed the image of an Africa that is savage and backward. And yet, as Jackson shows, this portrayal is a complete contradiction of reality.
