Enemies of Africa

This book contains a collection of people, institutions and power structures that have opposed, oppressed, and enslaved Africans both in the continent and abroad. These are the Enemies of Africa. The genius tactician Sun Tzu once said, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." For as much progress as the black community has made around the world in the African diaspora, there remains the threat that for every one step forward there will be two steps back. Lying in wait for the black people of the world are several cunning enemies that have existed through the ages. Even foes that have seemingly been defeated often rear their ugly heads in modern forms that go unnoticed and unchallenged. By examining the Enemies of Africa from both yesteryear and today, hopefully we can all gain further insight into how to counter and finally defeat them in the future.
