When We Ruled: The Ancient and Mediaeval History of Black Civilisations (2011) by Robin Walker

Description

When We Ruled is a landmark publication, available for the first time in paperback, this edition includes over 100 images, 18 maps, a 15 page chronological table, index, and bibliography. It provides an extraordinary and cutting-edge synthesis of the archaeological data, the documentary evidence, and the historical linguistic research on the great achievements of African people in world history.

From the introduction by Runoko Rashidi (1954-2021):

“In 22 chapters, When We Ruled examines the nature of what we call Black history; critically surveying the often-shoddy documentation of that history. Importantly, it focuses upon African civilization in the Valley of the Nile and analyzes the key historical phases of Ancient Egypt–critical exercises for any professed scholar of African history and vital pieces of Africa’s legacy … When we Ruled is a timely and immensely important work of benefit to scholars and students alike. I am proud to add it to my library.”
