Not quite what I had been led to believe as far as black African influence and much about the influence of anti-Semitic ideas on Classical studies. Con un título muy provocativo, al autor presenta la tesis de los orígenes afroasiaticos de la cultura griega en contraposición a la teoría comúnmente aceptada del origen indo-europeo. El autor arguye que la teoria indo-europea es el resultado de una visión eurocentrista y racista en un momento en el que Europa imponía el dominio sobre la mayor parte del mundo, ignorando y escondiendo o transformando el reconocimiento que, hasta esas fechas, había sobre la herencia afroasiática en la cultura griega. Este es el primero de la serie de tres libros que componen la obra, los 2 siguientes no se han editado en castellano. El libro levantó una enorme polémica académica y ha motivado la aparición de varios libros refutando las tesis del autor, he incluso una publicación del autor a las criticas sobre sus tesis. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Synopsis: Could Greek philosophy be rooted in Egyptian thought? Is it possible that the Pythagorean theory was conceived on the shores of the Nile and the Euphrates rather than in ancient Greece? Could it be that Western civilization was born on the so-called Dark Continent? For almost two centuries, Western scholars have given little credence to the possibility of such scenarios. In Black Athena, an audacious three-volume series that strikes at the heart of today's most heated culture wars, Martin Bernal challenges Eurocentric attitudes by calling into question two of the longest-established explanations for the origins of classical civilization. The Aryan Model, which is current today, claims that Greek culture arose as the result of the conquest from the north by Indo-European speakers, or "Aryans," of the native "pre-Hellenes." The Ancient Model, which was maintained in Classical Greece, held that the native population of Greece had initially been civilized by Egyptian and Phoenician colonists and that additional Near Eastern culture had been introduced to Greece by Greeks studying in Egypt and Southwest Asia. Moving beyond these prevailing models, Bernal proposes a Revised Ancient Model, which suggests that classical civilization in fact had deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures.
