This book, the first in a series of work on Africans, whose life
and thought have left a major impact on the world, is devoted to
the Senegalese physicist, historian and linguist, Dr. Cheikh Anta
Diop, who was born in Diourbel, Senegal on December 29, 1923, and
died in Dakar on February 7, 1986. No figure in the field of
African civilization studies has been more highly regarded in the
French and English-speaking world than Diop. In 1966 the First
World Festival of Arts and Culture attributed jointly to the late
W.E.B. DuBois and Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop its "Award of the Scholar
who had exerted the greatest influence on Negro thought in the 20th
century." The book has nearly a hundred illustrations. "Great
African Thinkers--Vol. 1., Chiekh Anta Diop" features impressions
of the man--"Conversations with Diop and Tsegaye" by Jan Carey;
