The book, which was to serve as a reinterpretation of the history of the African race, was intended to be ""a general rebellion against the subtle message from even the most 'liberal' white authors (and their Negro disciples): 'You belong to a race of nobodies. You have no worthwhile history to point to with pride.'"" The book was written at a time when many black students, educators, and scholars were starting to piece together the connection between the way their history was taught and the way they were perceived by others and by themselves. They began to question assumptions made about their history and took it upon themselves to create a new body of historical research. The book is premised on the question: ""If the Blacks were among the very first builders of civilization and their land the birthplace of civilization, what has happened to them that has left them since then, at the bottom of world society, precisely what happened? The Caucasian answer is simple and well-known: The Blacks have always been at the bottom."" Williams instead contends that many elements—nature, imperialism, and stolen legacies— have aided in the destruction of the black civilization. The Destruction of Black Civilization is revelatory and revolutionary because it offers a new approach to the research, teaching, and study of African history by shifting the main focus from the history of Arabs and Europeans in Africa to the Africans themselves, offering instead ""a history of blacks that is a history of blacks. Because only from history can we learn what our strengths were and, especially, in what particular aspect we are weak and vulnerable. Our history can then become at once the foundation and guiding light for united efforts in serious[ly] planning what we should be about now."" It was part of the evolution of the black revolution that took place in the 1970s, as the focus shifted from politics to matters of the mind. Review: Must read. - Consider reading in spear time. Review: I Quote From This Book a Lot - This book literally covers the history of 6,000 years-- and what I really love about Chancellor Williiams, is that he includes brief looks at our present and how it was affected by the past and towards the end, he truly drops bombshells on us with a proposed plan for Blacks' futures. The truth is that the historian is right in not really seeing us rise above poverty and racism because we keep ourselves down. While reading the book, I noticed that what was happening with us ages ago or centuries ago-- we are repeating it! I am watching how Blacks' speak to each other in real life and on social media, watching the clownish mess we get ourselves into, and I fear we are a lost cause--just like the author/historian said in the book. Don't get me wrong, the book is wonderful! It's just that it is so scary how we were hundreds, thousands of years ago and we are still sowing our own seeds of destruction. The book even does a great job of explaining WHO the Egyptians truly were and how Africa(or some parts of it) became desolate. I would like to tell more of this gem but you must get it and read it. It should be required reading for All Americans at this point, ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,204 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in African History (Books) #123 in African American Demographic Studies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,456 Reviews | ## Images ![Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KGVDhD7iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read. *by Y***N on March 6, 2026* Consider reading in spear time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Quote From This Book a Lot *by T***M on October 7, 2022* This book literally covers the history of 6,000 years-- and what I really love about Chancellor Williiams, is that he includes brief looks at our present and how it was affected by the past and towards the end, he truly drops bombshells on us with a proposed plan for Blacks' futures.
