商品簡介
What place does one attribute to the political black body in the Middle East today? Known for the endless and brutal colonial waves and occupation by foreign forces, the Near East has not revealed all its secrets yet. A scholar and historian who focuses on questions related to the indigenous black populations of the region, Afro-Arab VKY (Victoria Kabeya) proposes a new book aiming to explore the cruel impact left on the Black Levantines after centuries of policies of Turkification, Arabization, Western occupation and recently, Zionism. Though the remnants of the original black Canaanite race are still present in the Levant, colonialism and the different forms of nationalisms have favored the loss of memory of these Afro-Levantines. Trapped in a land they always knew to be theirs, they no longer know where they came from. This book is an invitation into the exploration behind the mechanisms of attacks made towards these indigenous black groups. From Syria, Palestine, Israel and Jordan, this work is an invitation to the unknown and undisclosed.
