Afrikansk historie: førkolonial tid

Forgetting is forbidden. Unpunished, a continent, a "race" wants justice and reparation.It is important to know what actually happened and to record it.It is a deluge that has come over the black people. The most brutal, appalling and shocking crimes were committed against these people, which have not been properly condemned, excused and repaired to this day. So far, these crimes against humanity have gone unpunished, called genocide in other ethnic groups. On the contrary, the perpetrators deal with their crimes arrogantly and almost proudly, that even centuries after the numerous crimes they still make fun of the victims and thereby treat them derogatorily. This is unique in history. The whites who committed such crimes against life and humanity have no sensitivity to the fact that they systematically and according to plan abused, raped, mutilated, tortured and killed hundreds of millions of their (the victims') fathers, mothers, daughters, wives, children, babies, destroyed entire cultures, stole their wealth, soil, agriculture and stole much of the labor force.The historical reappraisal of the slavery and colonial past is very inadequate. Although this western world still owes its boom, development, social prosperity and stability, but also Africans:inside and blacks owe their impoverishment, social destruction, instability and their phenomena to these colonial times. This means that the consequences of slavery and colonialism are still very present today. On one hand, they bring privileges to the colonial masters and their societies that they do not want to lose, and on another hand, they still bring immense disadvantages to the victims and largely explain why they are the way they are and why they still cannot free themselves today. Every white person benefits from the crimes of their ancestors and every:r black person loses because of it."With my book, I want to contribute so that a terrible injustice against the continent of Africa and all the people who come from there is not forgotten and considered like "peanuts"."

""The First Upper Egyptian nome, with its capital, Elephantine, was important in ancient times, as it stood on the southern border between Egypt and the Nubian provinces above the First Cataract. Since 2008, Alejandro Jimâenez-Serrano has led an archaeological mission at the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa, where Elephantine's high officials are buried. In Descendants of a Lesser God, he draws on textual records and archaeological data, together with new evidence from his work at the tombs, to cast fresh historiographical light on the dynastic dynamics of these ruling elites. Jimâenez-Serrano analyzes the origin of the local elites of Elephantine, and their role in trade and international relations with Nubia and neighboring regions, from the end of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. He explores the development of these power groups, organized as they were in complex households, which in many ways emulated the functioning of the royal court. Delving deeply into the funerary world, he also highlights the relationship between social memory and political legitimacy through his examination of the mortuary cult of a late Old Kingdom governor of Elephantine, Heqaib, who was transformed into a local divinity and later claimed as the mythic ancestor of the ruling family of Elephantine. The history of ancient Egypt has traditionally been written from a court perspective. This new history of a strategically important region not only modifies existing perceptions of provincial life in the Middle Kingdom among the elites, but also introduces new evidence to support more complex and detailed reconstructions of the dynastic families in power.""--
