The Destruction of Black Civilization

Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.
Book • 1992
Chancellor Williams' 'The Destruction of Black Civilization' is a groundbreaking work that took 16 years to research and compile.

It challenges the conventional view that black people have always been at the bottom of world society by highlighting factors such as nature, imperialism, and stolen legacies.

The book offers a new perspective on African history, focusing on the experiences of Africans themselves rather than those of Arabs and Europeans in Africa.
