[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] Indeed, and the thing is Diop was always big on evidence and data, Unfortunately some folk forget this and focus on the the mystical and rhetorical, with the rhetorical especially being an easy way out because it requires very little work or study. There is a place for rhetoric and mysticism to be sure, but they provide little concrete to confront the many enemies of a balanced African biohistory, in both their "soft" or "hard" manifestations. This is one of the significant divides in the field. Diop also did not expect that things would be static and unchanging, forever locked in stone. BUt ever so often you run into cats who still have not moved beyond Chancellor Williams, for example, circa 1970- valuable as background to be sure, but the field has moved on. A good grasp of the factual and evidentiary database is necessary for progress, and this is critical in expanding knowledge, as well as critiquing either patronizing liberals, right-wing propagandists, or the plain i'gnant.
