Africa: A history denied

Africa: A History Denied The title of the video we saw during class, Africa: A History Denied really sums up what the video was about. African people do not have a history, and if they do, it was distorted by the white people who settled in their African home. This documentary video showed how myths were created to convince the Swahili people to change thier beliefs. One of the myths that was created was about …

…the King of Cambaloo as a slave. The moral of this myth was to explain that the Swahili became Muslim because if not they would have been sold to slavery. These are only some of the myths that were discussed in the video. Even though they are just myths, they have had a great impact on African history. They were created by white people, and only for one reason, to erase African culture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
