African Genesis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258321734)

African Genesis is a non-fiction book written by Leo Frobenius, a German ethnologist and archaeologist. The book is an exploration of the history and culture of Africa, particularly the civilizations that existed before European colonization. Frobenius argues that Africa has a rich and complex history that has been overlooked by Western scholars and that African civilizations were not primitive, but rather sophisticated and advanced in their own right. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of African culture and history. Frobenius discusses the origins of African peoples, their religious beliefs, art, music, and social structures. He also examines the impact of European colonialism on Africa and the ways in which African societies have adapted and changed over time.Throughout the book, Frobenius draws on his own experiences and observations from his travels throughout Africa, as well as on historical and archaeological evidence. He argues that Africa has a unique and valuable cultural heritage that deserves to be recognized and celebrated.Overall, African Genesis is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of African history and culture. It challenges Western perceptions of Africa and offers a new perspective on the continent's rich and complex past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
