Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire
Description
Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire is a book by Drusilla Dunjee Houston, first published in 1926. In this pioneering work of Afrocentric history, Houston traces the rise, spread and influence of the ancient Cushite (Kushite) civilization across northeast Africa and beyond, arguing for its central role in the origins of early civilization.
The book presents a sweeping narrative that connects archaeology, ancient inscriptions, oral traditions and comparative cultural evidence to reclaim an African-centered view of antiquity. Written by a self-taught historian and journalist determined to correct the historical record, the text combines passionate advocacy with detailed reportage of sources available to Houston in the early 20th century.
Readers interested in ancient African history, Black intellectual history, and the development of Afrocentric scholarship will find this book both a spirited argument and an important early example of efforts to document Africa’s contributions to world civilization.
