African Europeans show's a different part of history than we get as Americans. We get to see the start of African interacting with Ancient Greece and Rome and how they started to move around the continents. How they were being treated and how things have changed over time and the recognition they are finally getting now. Colorism is talked about a lot in this book and how it does affect people and change the amount of success they were able to have throughout history. We also got to see Kings and other royalty deal with going to different countries and how that was good in some ways it also caused other problems later on.


Overall this book was very informative and I loved how much I learned from it. I will say it does read a bit like a textbook at times which did make me take about a month to read it, but besides that everything else was great.
So much of history was covered in this book and I loved it! I loved learning about a part of history that I knew really nothing about until now and I want to continue learning about it now. Otele was really thorough in her research and you could tell how passionate she was about this book and making history know. I can see reading more by them in the future and continuing to find books about African Europeans as well as African in other please as this is something that I want to learn more about.

I highly suggest this non-fiction book.
