In his book The Golden Age Of The Moor, Ivan Van Sertima takes an entirely different approach to identifing the Moors. He dosen’t atempt to explain the theories of others nor does he offer a theory of his own. Instead Van Sertima presents a compilation of historical information taken from the museums of Europe that describe the Moors. In his book Van Sertima presents paintings, sculptures, coats of arms, and written records about the Moors, that date back to the period that the Moors were in Europe. Van Sertima’s approach is based upon his premis that the most accurate information about the Moors would be the information recorded by the European historians and the European people that lived during the period of time that Moors were in Europe.

When the Greeks and Romans mentioned the tribes that ranged west of the Euphrates, they called them Saracens. After this name had been used in an indefinite manner for all the unknown tribes of the desert, it was given to the followers of Mohamed; and it is used in that sense in this book, thus comprising many different nations. The present volume is mainly devoted to the period before the Crusades, and was originally published in 1886.

The Moors After Spain, is of course, a dynamic work, and its resurrection today to a intellectually thirsty readership, along with S. Lane Poole’s general body of work and other literary contributions from authors addressing Moorish history, coincides with the contemporary movement of conscious Moors to awaken the general masses to an almost obscured and “forgotten,” but relevant history.

Lane Poole renders an outstanding educational retelling of the history of the rise and fall of the Moorish Empire’s North African annexed rule in Spain, which is ultimately the account of the beginning of the end of a once powerful people and their empire. I am most pleased and impressed that the book hedges not to identify the Moors in subject, as an African phenotype, although some will insist otherwise. There is much included here for conscious readers to be thankful for; but then there is perhaps much omitted. We must consider that recording the truth about African civilizations and their viable contributions to the world was a daring academic initiative in the 1800’s for any author (even before the ascent of anti-Arab prejudice), especially since European academia obsessed with the golden rule of proliferating copious volumes of repugnant canards about Africa in general.
