Definición

  • When They Came Before Columbus was published in 1976 by the anthropologist Ivan Van Sertima, few people had ever taken seriously the possibility that Africans made it to the Western Hemisphere earlier than Europeans. In fact, the African “discovery” of the Americas was thought to be impossible because Africans were being enslaved by Europeans, and the propaganda about Africans tended to discount the likelihood of Africans achieving anything of significance.
