FOREWORD

ONCE AGAIN DR. JOHN HENRIK CLARKE has made another outstanding contribution to his school of African knowledge and has furthered the significance of this African-centered perspective on world history. For almost two decades as a distinguished professor of African World History at Hunter College of the City University of New York, and for more than a half a century as a scholar advocate for African peoples, Dr. Clarke has been a beacon of light in the sea of European-American darkness and blindness. He has consistently urged all the people he has come in contact with to seek the truth about human history by pursuing the path of enlightenment through knowledge, first of self and one's people and then others. He has constantly predicted that this path of wisdom would lead to improvement and a new day for Africans everywhere.

As a master teacher Dr. Clarke had always stated clearly that you cannot understand world history without understanding the central role of African history. This short but timely work gives the reader a sense of the urgency of African and world history at this moment in time. The title subject matter of this publication reveals its significance and relevance-Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust. Similarly the subtitle is even more potent and enlightening-slavery and the rise of European capitalism. Like many of the African-centered scholars who were Dr. Clarke's teachers and his source of inspiration, he not only gives you accurate analysis and descriptions of history, he provides prescription of what Africans have to do to bring into being a new day.
