Deconstructing Prehumanity is an investigation into the role of
archaeological perception in the construction of race. It explores
how social knowledge and disciplinary subjectivity have shaped our
organization of the human past and how this organization and its
lexicon have fueled racialism. The idea of an African prehuman
hierarchy powers American race relations in a damaging way.
Scientific physical distinctions used in ethnological studies
quantified and qualified physical and "racial" differences among
so-called African prehumans, all of which plague human social
relations as they extend harmful ideas about peoples of African
descent. This book delves into the evolution of terms and utilizes
Africana studies to present the systematic reconstruction of a
black past. By reviewing ethnological studies, nomenclature, and
how such processes play a role in conceiving African origins, the
multidisciplinary work supplies explanations about notions of
African nature, culture, and race as prehuman. It explicates
paleoanthropological categories and connects them to racialized
inferences. Deconstructing Prehumanity is intended for readers
looking to understand how perceptions about human origins add to
racialization as it proffered a utilitarian past.
African antiquity has been discerned both nullifyingly and
constructively. Uses of African Antiquity in the Twentieth and
Twenty-First Centuries reveals how reading the past can be extended
to understand sensitivities involving origins and how it imparts
collective posture. The ancient historical imagery epitomized by
writers and artists alike includes the distant past as well as an
immediate past. Comparatively, representation of time long gone
records transhistorical presence and civilizational participation
and agentic validity. African antiquity can be construed as
diasporic through time and space and in regards to nomenclature it
extends understanding of peopleness, e.g. Libya, Ethiopia, Africa,
Afrika, African Egypt, Kemet, Alkebu-lan, Nubia, Ta-Seti,
Ta-Nehisi, Ta-Merry, Kush, Axum, Meroe, Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Zulu,
and so many more are recognized in a time-spatial continuum linked
to African, Colored, Negro, and Black, as various terms inform
origins identity. Unfortunately, typologies disciplinarily stem
from anthropological construction, yet here African antiquity as
sign heralds clines and clusters; splintering Africana from
humanitas ultimately contends against subjugation. African
antiquity absorbs character and notions of diachronologically
dispersed peoples reflect origins indulgence. African antiquity as
a stretched concept and/or historicism triply adds understanding,
grouping, and alterity. This primarily is a review of thinkers who
defend against people erasure in the past with its socially and
nihilistic affective ways.
