Being Black

The deeply revealing truth about the hidden identity of some of today’s Black people. Book Two of the Trilogy of Truth.   Ever since the ideology of race was invented, black people have been victim to racial injustices, from generation to generation, in different parts of the world, particularly in multiracial societies. Despite several centuries of Civil Rights and Anti-Racism movements and activism, the unequal and unhealthy status quo has persisted. Being Black: Rediscovering A Lost Identity draws from anthropology, history, religion, and sociology to present the real reason why this is so. It explores the hidden story of human origin in Africa, the subsequent migratory waves through which each continental landmass was first settled, the impact of subsequent migrations in the modern era on the demography of each continent while also presenting the untold story of Africa and African civilisations before transatlantic slavery. Based on research evidence, Ziri makes a connection between ancient Israelites and some modern African populations while highlighting how Africa’s fortune was subsequently severely impacted as a result. Pointing out how the present ideology of race was a by-product of historic slavery, he highlights how it was subsequently politicised and employed for the marginalisation of the Black people.  Written with Ziri’s trademark incisiveness, objectiveness, and clarity, this epic and enlightening journey of rediscovery is Being Black: Rediscovering A Lost Identity.
