[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] Why do Africans spend so much time trying to find themselves in other people's hsitory instead of appreciating their own. [/b][/QUOTE] The question is tautological. It assumes one shares your definition of African history. Remember, by some Eurocentric standards Africa has no history. Egypt is but an extention of Mesopotamia; Ethiopia an extention of Egypt. West African kingdoms are either Arab colonies, or Berber migrations. Swahilli Zanj and South African Zimbabwe are ancient semitic states. What history? The point is what does or does not constitute "African" history is not clearly bounded. It seems to me that it is the job of African historians to search for those boundaries, not simply accept without question, Eurocentric constricted notions of African history. [/QB][/QUOTE]
