This book was first published when European colonialism was advancing into Africa. Its purpose then was to defend the Negro against the scorn of his white conquerors. It found an immediate response amongst people of African descent and men of goodwill everywhere. Today, when Colonialism is on the retreat, this book by a distinguished Negro scholar and statesman will be welcomed by all who see in the problem of African independence and pan-Africanism one of the great challenges of modern times. Edward Blyden's work is important also for the understanding of one of the great challenges of the past: the rival claims of Christianity and Islam. Blyden went to Africa in 1851 from his native West Indies because racial prejudice denied him the higher education I which he sought in the United States. But he never lost his interest in the predicament of the Negro American, which he had experienced in his own person. His book is of more than historical interest to the student of race relations in the New World today. Eighty years old, it is still a living contribution to what W. E. B. Du Bois called 'the problem of the twentieth century, the color line'. This is the first book of a new series which aims to republish classic works by African writers, under the general editorship of Professor George Shepperson, University of Edinburgh.
