This is an essential book for everyone.
--Centerprise Trust, UK
In twenty two chapters, When We Ruled examines the nature of what we call Black history;
critically surveying the often-shoddy documentation of that history.
Importantly, it focuses upon African civilization in the Valley of the
Nile and analyzes the key historical phases of Ancient Egypt--critical
exercises for any professed scholar of African history and vital pieces
of Africa's legacy ... When we Ruled is a timely and immensely important work of benefit to scholars and students alike. I am proud to add it to my library, from the Introduction--Runoko Rashidi.
Available
for the first time in paperback, this edition includes over 100 images,
18 maps, a 15 page chronological table, index, and bibliography. New
introduction by Runoko Rashidi for the Black Classic Press edition.

I have only made it through the acknowledgements, foreword and
introduction and my excitement is beyond measure! This literature feels
like a great starting point for the novice african/black history student
as Walker references his influences positive and negative as well as
other pioneering authors and scholars whom have gifted the black
community/the world with valuable content. Any self proclaimed veterans
of African history were forewarned by Walker about reiteration of
material as well as for who the scope of this work was designed in the
first 15 pgs. To reduce the value of this literature by negating stars
based on “the repetitive nature” of the book or its novice perspective
is highly disingenuous and in my opinion should be discarded. Thank you
to the creators for giving me more reason to hold my head high!BUY NOW Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2019Verified Purchase
This book belongs on the shelf of every single person of African
descent (or anyone who loves history)! We're using it to educate
ourselves & reclaim the history that we've been lied to all these
years through Eurocentric education. Also this book is a MUST HAVE for
educating Black children, it is important for their growing minds to see
the greatness & power in their ancestry...so they can believe it in
themselves!BUY NOW!
