"Africa and Africans in Antiquity" assesses recent historical
research and archaeology under way in Egypt, North Africa, the
Sudan, and the Horn of Africa. Whereas many European and American
scholars of earlier generations believed that Egyptian contacts
with Africa to the south were not culturally significant, research
contained in this important collection rejects such notions. At the
same time, the volume takes issue with Afrocentric scholars who
argue that most Egyptians were 'black' and that blacks are the
rightful heirs to Egypt's past grandeur. These ten
thought-provoking essays demonstrate that this large region was an
ethnic and cultural mosaic in antiquity, a place where Phoenicians,
Berbers, Greeks, as well as Egyptians and Nubians interacted.
