Customer Reviews
This book is such a great classic that I had to refer to it in my book: The Real Wakandas of Africa. Many people have heard of the Moors but do not realize the impact that they had upon Europe. They also don’t know that the Moors were Black people who conquered Europe for 781 years. This is not to take away from the Arab Moors. However, the influence of Africans upon Europe was considerable in a number of areas. This book gives the reader details about some of these areas. Moorish contributions spanned a number of academic fields and this book provides clear details about these contributions. Some of these fields included Astronomy, medicine and Mathematics. The Moors brought a university system to Spain. They influenced life, culture and medicine in Europe. They also had a considerable impact upon the architecture of Spain. Africans contributions of giant construction feats throughout history are often ignored. For example, in a book that I wrote: The Great Wall of Africa: The Empire of Benin’s 10,000 Mile Long Wall, I discuss another African construction marvel that contains more material than all of the buildings in New City’s Manhattan. Yet this was the first popular history book written about the Great Wall of Africa, the world’s greatest structure. Why is the world’s greatest structure unknown? In many ways, The Story of the Moors in Spain is very similar because it was an early attempt to get the word out about a little known portion of African history and it’s impact on Europe. This knowledge is all too often brushed over in history classes. The Moors encouraged an age of enlightenment in Europe when there was darkness (the dark ages). In fact, there is evidence to support the idea that European enlightenment scholars were influenced by Moorish scholars. If the reader approaches this book with the understanding that it is an older classic, then it will be appreciated. Please pick up a copy today!
