Biblical Antiquities Of The Black Hamitic Race

“The Antiquities of the Black (Hamitic) Race” A 40 year old series first published in 1970s issue of Muhammad Speaks, was named Rafiyq Ahmed Abdul-Hamiyd (formerly known as Ralph Raymond Gaillard, Sr.) of the Black Press International. The book entitled "the Antiquities of the Black Race," was compiled from Mr. Hamiyd's original manuscripts, research and notes for the present and future generations of Black people, at home and abroad. This present edition is the completed, annotated and final version, previously unpublished in full in one volume on the History of Black people in biblical times. He has written the series to expose some significant facts relating to some of the authentic roles that Ancient member nations' of the so-called "Black Race" (i.e., the peoples of Africa and Asia) played in giving birth to civilizations, such as Ancient Egypt and Ethiopia, during - and before - the period of time covered in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

"In this book, David Goldenberg seeks to discover how dark-skinned peoples, especially black Africans, were portrayed in the Bible and by those who interpreted the Bible - Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Unprecedented in rigor and breadth, his investigation covers a 1,500-year period, from ancient Israel (around 800 B.C.E.) to the eighth century C.E., after the birth of Islam. By tracing the development of anti-Black sentiment during this time, Goldenberg uncovers views about race, color, and slavery that took shape over the centuries - most centrally, the belief that the biblical Ham and his descendants, the black Africans, had been cursed by God with eternal slavery."--Publisher description

The civil rights and black power movements expanded popular awareness of the history and culture of African Americans. But, as Stephen Hall observes, African American authors, intellectuals, ministers, and abolitionists had been writing the history of the black experience since the 1800s. With this book, Hall recaptures and reconstructs a rich but largely overlooked tradition of historical writing by African Americans. Hall charts the origins, meanings, methods, evolution, and maturation of African American historical writing from the period of the Early Republic to the twentieth-century professionalization of the larger field of historical study. He demonstrates how these works borrowed from and engaged with ideological and intellectual constructs from mainstream intellectual movements including the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Realism, and Modernism. Hall also explores the creation of discursive spaces that simultaneously reinforced and offered counternarratives to more mainstream historical discourse. He sheds fresh light on the influence of the African diaspora on the development of historical study. In so doing, he provides a holistic portrait of African American history informed by developments within and outside the African American community.
