"It is to correct [Western]
misrepresentations and restore the true value and place
of Negro culture and achievement
in the sum total of human progress that makes
the study of African history today a double
necessity for both Africans and non-Africans."
--K.B.C. Onwubiko from
"The Importance of African History
Today,"
History of West Africa, A D 1000-1800 (1967. Nigeria: Africana-FEP Publishers
Limited, 1985).
"[S]cholars retell the story of African
history and culture to
debunk the myths and reveal the misperceptions that Western people have about Africa.
Today, the rich history of the continent is being rediscovered by the rest of the
world."
