By George G. M. James by George J M James

In this bold and uncompromising book, George G. M. James argues that the Greek philosophy in which nearly all of Western culture has its roots actually originated in ancient Egypt
Drawing on careful historical research and a radical rethinking of the conventional narrative of Greek history, James asserts that our celebration of the ancient Greeks as the creators of Western civilization and philosophy is misattributed. In fact, he argues, our praise rightfully belongs to the people of Africa. Furthermore, this massive intellectual and cultural theft has helped lend credence to the damaging notion that the entire continent of Africa has contributed nothing to world civilization.
James explorers documented connections between celebrated Greek philosophers and the influence of Egyptian thought, proposing other possible links between northern Africa and Greece as well. An important book for understanding the history of philosophy, culture, and race in the modern world, Stolen Legacy is not to be missed.

James, George J. M.: - Dr. George G. M. James was a Guyanese author and historian. He received his PhD from Columbia University in New York and went on to be a professor of mathematics, logic, Greek, and Latin.
