It addresses the Ancient and Traditional African religions and shows the common concepts that existed between them. The second part of this book is entitled: The Equinox and the Real Story behind Easter. It addresses the Spring Equinox and shows that many early religions practiced similar ideas at that time of the year. The third part of this book is entitled: Understanding the Book of the Dead.

Through personal anecdotes, nuanced historical inquiry, and engaging analysis of modern-day events and their historical context and implications, this invaluable guide will break down some of the most powerful lies told about Black people. Whether those lies are pernicious, like the idea that “most black people are criminals,” or seemingly innocuous, like the notion that “black people can’t swim,” all of the lies and stereotypes combatted in this book are rooted in hate and continue to undermine not only Black people in America, but our society as a whole. Beyond combatting these harmful lies, Dr. Dibinga also provides readers with powerful insights on our racial vocabulary, reflective hands-on exercises that will allow readers to confront and change their own biases, and an honest discussion about how to move beyond misplaced shame and use privilege to serve others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeaturing personal surveys alongside real-life interviews with those who have been affected by racial biases first-hand, this open and thoughtful guide will lead readers on a path to understanding, action, and change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omekongo Dibinga, Michael Eric Dyson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059685392560,"sku":"‎ B0BWLMNBVH","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/71c4dyOtoWL._SY342.jpg?v=1704233075"},{"product_id":"cognitive-perspectives-on-israelite-identity-the-library-of-hebrew-bible-old-testament-studies-519","title":"Cognitive Perspectives on Israelite Identity (The Library of Hebrew Bible\/Old Testament Studies, 519)- Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0567688356\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"pm9pcj-9i5tb3-d5qt2a-8y1nbw\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCognitive Perspectives on Israelite Identity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e breaks new ground in the study of ethnic identity in the ancient world through the articulation of an explicitly cognitive perspective.

The spiritual leader of this community, Ben Ammi provides a foreword to the book. The author begins with an introduction to the Black Americans and their children who are members of the Hebrew Israelite Community in Israel that provides a description of the social structure and activities of the community. He moves into a discussion of the holistic lifestyle of the community that includes high moral standards, communal sharing, and the production of clothing from natural fibers, as well as the unique system of preventive health care. The well defined structures of both the society and the family, including the place of priests and women are presented.

Nevertheless, they retained their cohesiveness and are identifiable as historical entities. The Ten Tribes all moved in stages and at different times to the west where they re-coalesced. Each Israelite Tribe may be equated with a specific Western Nation. This was how it was supposed to be. It is proven from Biblical Passages, Rabbinical Commentaries, History, Linguistics, Mythology, and other fields. The Jewish People on the other hand derives mainly from the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi with minority element from the others. The Tribes of Joseph dominate the USA, Britain, and related nations. Manasseh is especially evident in the USA, and was once present in Scotland. The Tribe of Reuben prevails in France; Issachar in Switzerland, and Finland; Benjamin in Belgium, Zebulon in the Netherlands; Dan in Denmark, as well as in Ireland, and parts of Britain; Naphtali in Norway, Gad in Sweden. The Tribe of Asher may be seen in Ireland; Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah in Ulster. \"Hebrew Tribes\" has an Approbation from Rabbi Avraham Feld.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-interactable-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-label-expand\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" expander-index=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"readInteractable\" name=\"read-less\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-icon collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yair Davidiy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43064082038960,"sku":"9781794859265","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/61qiG1r7egL._SY342.jpg?v=1704406819"},{"product_id":"israelite-woman-10-commandments-of-spiritual-living-for-hebrew-israelite-women","title":"Israelite Woman: 10 Commandments of Spiritual Living, for Hebrew, Israelite, Women.","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pInfoTabCExpander-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1704717663\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"w2cns9-gnfn74-216s29-wdr1cv\" data-cel-widget=\"drengr_desktopTabbedDescriptionOverviewContent_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroductionThis guidebook was written to help Hebrew Israelite women, to assist them in living their best life under the Laws and Commandments of The Most High God.

King David has become one of the most popular and beloved heroes in the entire bible. But how was he perceived by those who knew him in the time that he became ruler over the Hebrew people? In this challenging and controversial biography Greenberg offers compelling evidence that David was widely despised among the ancient Israelites and relied on Philistine allies to keep himself in power against ongoing popular resistance from the people of Israel. SOME OF THE FASCINATING THINGS YOU WILL LEARN IN KING DAVID VERSUS ISRAEL: David did not kill Goliath. One of King David's soldiers did the deed. Incriminating evidence links David to Saul's death. David became king of Israel only after waging a two-year civil war against Saul's son, King Eshbaal. A popular military rebellion against King David temporarily removed him from the throne; a second popular rebellion threatened to do the same. Gary Greenberg is the author of several books, including 101 Myths of the Bible and The Judas Brief: Who Really Killed Jesus?. His popular and controversial writings have been translated into many languages. He is President of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New York and has served as a consultant to National Geographic Television's Science of the Bible series.

Fifteen leaders in the field of Africana studies provide the conceptual framework for establishing the field as a mature discipline. The focus is on four basic areas: administration and organizational structure; disciplinary matrix; Africana womanism; and cultural aesthetics.

Yet, race and ethnicity remain impervious to many of us. Hence in this volume authors were challenged to think outside the box. As such, scholars were encouraged to dare to contemplate, to evaluate, and analyze issues regarding race and ethnicity from radically different perspectives. This critical process required them to evaluate their own assumptions and those of their respective disciplines. Therefore, much like walking a tight-rope without a net, the scholars attempt to free themselves from the disciplinarian blinders that often preclude the development of fresh insights. Collectively the papers challenge the way we conceive and perceive of race and ethnicity. As a consequence they go past the ideological constraints that normally limit such discourse by disciplinarian boundaries or disciplinarian myopia. Therefore, these papers provide a critical reappraisal of race and ethnicity.\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author Rodney D.

David Browne, in examining the struggles of the black working class for democracy, dispels earlier assumptions that socio-political change in Barbados was generated by a benevolent and philanthropic ruling elite. In Race, Class, Politics and the Struggle for Empowerment, Browne delves into the networks formed by working class communities, and unearths the emergence of a black political consciousness driven to challenge the power of the planter-merchant elite and demand civil rights. The particular examination of the period between the First and Second World Wars is critical in exploring and presenting the Barbados contribution to social and ideological change in the British West Indian colonies and the eventual collapse of colonial society. This pioneering work on race relations in Barbados in the early twentieth century presents a fascinating analysis of the struggle for empowerment by the black working class and fills a void in Barbados historiography while joining the ranks of contemporary historians who have examines race relations in other territories such as Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David V C Browne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43221265088688,"sku":"9789766373986","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/71aBK_azbCL._AC_UY218.jpg?v=1709416704"},{"product_id":"race-culture-and-identity-francophone-west-african-and-caribbean-literature-and-theory-from-nzgritude-to-crzolitz","title":"Race, Culture, and Identity: Francophone West African and Caribbean Literature and Theory from NZgritude to CrZolitZ","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, Shireen Lewis gives a comprehensive analysis of the literary and theoretical discourse on race, culture, and identity by Francophone and Caribbean writers beginning in the early part of the twentieth century and continuing into the dawn of the new millennium.
