    Description

    Rare & exciting book! African Presence in Early America, soft cover edited by Ivan Van Sertima, 1992, Transaction Publications, with 313+ pages. Explores the possibility of African visits to the America prior to Columbus (and possibly Leif Erikson). From the editor’s Wiki page: “was a Guyanese-born British associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in the United States. He was best known for his Olmec alternative origin speculations, a brand of pre-Columbian contact theory, which he proposed in his book They Came Before Columbus (1976). While his Olmec theory has "spread widely in African American community, both lay and scholarly", it was mostly ignored in Mesoamericanist scholarship, and has been dismissed as Afrocentric pseudoarchaeology and pseudohistory to the effect of "robbing native American cultures".  0887387152
