Title Details

"Resistence is the word that best defines the history of black people. In this book, author Ale Santos recovers the past of great kingdoms that had their history either erased or silenced over the years of colonialism and post-colonialism. Kings, queens, and warriors who bravely fought in their territories are presented here in all their ancestral strength and glory. The stories in this book are not just an isolated piece of ancient people: they are the cornerstones necessary to rebuild new African cultural empires around the world. “Structural racism targets non-whites, the cultural target is our imagination. That’s where it tries to take black people down before they even have the chance to get in the ring to fight. This book is a roadmap showing us trails where fragments of history lead us to find the its hidden treasures. And such treasures are everything that was usurped from us after colonization.” Emicida, Brazilian musician.
