A gripping exposé, shining new light on Africa’s users and abusers, from the past to the present.

Exploring the varieties of Anti-Africanism that have evolved through the ages, author Jaiden Baynes highlights an array of institutions, individuals, and systematic establishments that have undermined, persecuted, and enslaved Africans both within and beyond The Mother Continent’s shores.
Africa’s indelible imprint on modern civilization emerges as we journey through time, from the dawn of slavery to contemporary remnants of colonialism and resource exploitation.
