There are over a thousand books that deal with Africa as a continent or as part of a global organization such as the United Nations. As one reads through AYA AFRICA, it will be observed that it is one of, if not the only book written by an African with the concept of presenting the continent from a broad perspective. AYA AFRICA begins with the origin of the first African (first human), presenting all relevant sources of ancient history to support that claim. The book makes no new claim but expounds on what had been presented and was not seriously dealt with by modern historians. Many views presented are those of the author's with the aid of the history of many ancient customs including those of the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, and the Romans. AYA Africa wants to stress to its readers that there are many Afrocentric writers whose works must be taken seriously. This is because many colleges refused to recognize the importance of their contributions for two reasons. The first, they do not regard Africa's authenticity in antiquity, and second the sources were without archeological data. Most of the sources in AYA AFRICA are current.
