Stolen Legacy
Book • 2010
George G.M.
James's "Stolen Legacy" argues that ancient Greek philosophy was derived from ancient Egyptian thought, which was itself of African origin.
The book challenges traditional historical narratives and aims to highlight the contributions of African civilizations to Western thought.
It's considered pseudo-history by many mainstream scholars due to its controversial interpretations and lack of substantial evidence.
However, it remains influential within certain circles for its attempt to reclaim African intellectual heritage.
The book's impact lies in its contribution to discussions about cultural appropriation and the rewriting of history.
