About 30 years ago I was going to work in Ivory Coast and my work involved travelling throughout the continent of Africa. To prepare, I read Dr. Mazrui’s materials and watched this documentary series which was so helpful. From Ivory Coast I moved to South Africa before coming back to Europe. I have really loved the years I lived on the continent, there is something which pulls you towards Africa.
This documentary used to air on our Zambia National Broadcaster in the mid 80's and I followed his narrations religiously. A great researcher, narrator and historian. Rip Professor Ali Mazrui.
It had a real impact on me as well ! I had to recorded the series ! So excited. And it was Patrice Loch Ocieno Lumumba and his memory which brought me back to it today'. He recalled the statement Ali Manzuri said , that Africa produce "what it does not consume and it consumes what it does not produce", from this point i had to returen to review this documentary, a great talk is the patrice Loch Otieno Lumnumba speacks to AGRA stsff and partners In Narobi.
Ali Mazrui was so much ahead of his time, so much of what is narrated is very relevant to Africa's situation today. A great documentary produced back when the BBC really made excellent documentaries.
It's one of the very best TV series of documentaries on Africa and its history-if, not the very best ever! All thanks to the familiar voice and face of Prof. Ali Mazrui. This brings back a lot of childhood memories, growing back in my parents' house we never used to skip a single episode of this amazing documentary. It is without a doubt my hope and prayer that this goes down to the generations to come and to come.
Thanks for compiling this show as a whole. I've been looking for this for years now. They don't make shows like this anymore. As an African this is completely relevant in order to understand how the Continent came to be the way it is (So Much yet So Little). Thanks again ..... ( π {} 📷 )
I remember seeing this back in the 80's as a kid. Loved watching documentaries. I remember it being really good. Emotional at times. I need to rewatch this.
My father introduced me to the Africans a triple heritage, when i was very young. Then, I didn't understand nor care. Now i more than get it. The background music is nostalgic 😊 😊😊
Television came to Cameroon in the mid 1980s. And "The the Africans" was first aired a year or two later. And like you, I was too young too understand it. And when I watched it again in 2016 it just blew me away. Since then, I have been watching it at least twice a year. And each time it never fails to blow me away.
This was worth watching. It brings to light the truth about our one continent mama Africa. Thank to my history lecturer, Dr. Sadat, at the university of Ghana for recommending this documentary to us his students.
I watched this documentary in the late 1980's on one of the pbs stations in Chicago when I was a teenager.it does show it's age today- the referances to Mobutu,Nyere Raylings,and other African leaders who were in power at the time but no longer are and some them now long deceased but it is still a show to watch and I had been looking for it for some time and I was happy to find it on RUclips recently.
Saw this originally on PBS awhile ago, always hoped they would air it again as they do all the same Ken Burns pieces. This was so informative and well explained, this educators account is still the most enlightening elegant and informative vs those I’ve view even just today. They should update it and optimize it’s output for today. Thank you! Ah! I did not know he had passed. What a work you did here! You will always have my admiration and thankfulness. What a wonderfully articulate elegant educator! R.I.P Dr. Mazrui🙏🏽❤️
This is my first time watching this excellent documentary, delivered from a different (non-European) perspective. It's evident that wherever the European goes, he creates a problem, then proposes a solution to that problem that he created in first place. Wherever he goes he wants to subjugate, demean and destroy. Africa, the Americas - it's the same story.
Have been thinking about this doc since last year. It had been years since I seen it and always thought it came out earlier but see that it originally aired in 1986 so I had to be 12/13 thinking I was younger when I first watched this. The series definitely left an impact on me and peaked my interest in Africa as a whole as well as wanting to travel there someday. I always wished that PBS would have rebroadcast this, do a follow-up to this. Henry Louis Gates series was good also but this one had a big impact on me
Just wonderful and very important to me as a Master's student in History at the University Of Nairobi, Kenya..... I've learnt alot from the video by Mazrui himself
I remember when this 9-part series was first aired in the US by PBS stations (after its showing on the BBC which produced it). Three people too out a full-page ad in the New York Times, warning Americans NOT to watch, because they were going to hear the history, geography, culture of Africa as told by AN AFRICAN! (Masuri woud become Albert Schwietzer Chair at NYU). Lynne Cheney (Sr.) was then the head of the National Endowment for the Humanities, William Bennet was the Secretary of Education, and Diane Ravitch. . .well, she was Diane Ravitch who believed that "multi-culturalism" was about learning all the good and patriotic things about our own country - and our friends - but about the rest of the world we only needed to know where they are. These are the triumvirate that took out that full-page ad warning us not to watch it. Mazuri. . . brilliant.
My father encouraged me to watch in the 80s. I loved it,but didn't much understand. Now I do, and unfortunately nothing much has changed in Africa since then. We are still struggling to find our identity.
A shame this series has not been digitally re-mastered and re-released on DVD. I would have purchased a copy. Also it is shame that Dr. Mazrui was not asked to re-do and update the series prior to his death in 2014. A new version of this series, with all the changes that have taken place in Africa and the world since 1986 would have been very interesting.
furrybear57 Dr. John Hendrick Clarke called Dr. Ali Almazrui the bastard of the history, now I am gong through this series to find where Dr. Almazrui had bastardized the African history and in due course I invite any others to look threw with me. It is time to reread The underdog African history by the Africans themselves....
Main Shaft, this Dr. John Hendrick Clarke with the white Anglo-Saxon name is a doofus. Historians criticized this series because it put Christianity and white colonization in a bad light. But Dr. Mazrui WAS right. Christianity and European colonization destroyed Africa - as did the Islamic faith. it removed the native peoples from the connection they shared with the continent and indoctrinated them to the same old monotheistic philosophy of God giving you the earth for your pleasure and that the animals that God himself had created had no souls. There is no need to go through the series. Dr. Mazrui spoke truth to power and white Christians are such snowflakes.
@@dsmrn5759 it takes one doofus to know another.....your reply tells me you are fully aware Dr. Mazrui's conclusions were spot on. Christianity, Islam and White colonialism all ruined Africa and it's peoples. Shame on you for denying history and truth. I suppose you believe the Tulsa massacre of 1921 either did not happen or was just another Black riot?
It is very strange that only 3 universities in the whole of Africa gives Bachelor, Master and PhD in African studies. The University of Ghana (but it is a kind of hoax), the University of Kenya (but the first courses started in 2022 and the price was 7.000 euros per year) and the University of Johannesburg (but you need to know one local language). Now I study African studies in Istanbul. It seems that Europe and the US cares more about Africa then Africans themselves.
You said nothing but the truth. I have been looking for a university that'll give me a fully funded PhD in Gender studies (the African woman's perspective) there's none. Seems I'll have to undergo this important research outside the shores of the continent
A friend shared this video with me because of the ideas I shared with him. Turns out these the same ideas shared in this video series, obvious of the existence of this video and no one talked about these with me, purely intuitive.
Africa’s youth will be the world’s future conservation leaders. We must ensure they have the skills and opportunities they need to carry on the fight for our wildlife and wild lands. @AWF_official
I am happy, that I relocated at 79 to Queretaro, Mexico, where I am safer, and it is $850 dollars less per month, and I can order all I want from the grocery here, and shelves are full, and not any limits. The people are super nice and have much respect for everyone, but especially the elderly. Please move to a less expensive country, and open 2 different Charles Schwab debit cards to avoid ATM fees, and foreign transactions. You must always notify them,before you travel. Local friends have ordered from the Argentina's Mercado Libre for me, when they pretended to not find my apartment, and gave me a credit. My friends have told them to send the packages to them. Old fashion Quaker Grits, and Louisiana hot sauce. La Comer Estudio does an excellent job delivering my groceries etc. in my Corregidora neighborhood. I have an excellent tour guide and lawyer.
Prof. Ali Mazrui was a great scholar. Unfortunately like many African scholars, he spent most of his academic life in the west building intellectual engagement and resourcefulness amongst western communities. To date his natives lands of Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu remain some of the most academically underdeveloped in Kenya. Lamu doesn't have a single diploma or degree granting public institution while there's no significant research in cultural, anthropology or philosophy taking place at any public university in the whole of coastal Kenya.
Afro-consciousness ------------------💥 DR. ALI MAZRUI: the triple heritage of Africa Dr. Ali Mazrui, was a Kenyan American based scholar, prolific author, and a critic of Cheikh Anta Diop. He advances the theory: “The Africans: A Triple Heritage as opposed to African Renaissance through its classical culture. According to Mazrui, Africa is the home of traditional religion, Islam, and western Jeudeo-christianity. And that these three values systems must be celebrated as the triple heritage of African people forever. But Diop, who was also born in a Muslim family like Mazrui insist on authentic African civilization, history and culture unique to itself. Analysts believe that Mazrui was a great teacher, but no match for Anta Diop. It was also believed that he was speaking from a biased perspective as a believer and not scholarship. Look, Europe was once ruled by Islam but no one talks about the triple heritage of Europe today. Imagine a China or India with triple heritage? The fact of the matter is that Africa has one classical heritage: KUSH-KEMET. Islam and Christianity remain colonial legacies which have no future in a united Africa. Rest in power Dr. Mazrui. But we prefer the Diopian school of thought which takes us to our classical past (Kush-Kemet ) and to begin a cultural revolution.
os afro-brasileiros precisam ter acesso a esse documentário. Alguém poderia legendá-lo, afinal, a imensa maioria de nós não conhece essa língua. Inclusive eu
34：44. Jomo Kenyatta, and his son Uhuru Kenyatta was/is a government by an oligarchy and one of the biggest let downs in the African emancipation movement.
A more accurate perspective of the continent in Genesis 2:9-14, "8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates."
I like and enjoy Professor Ali Mazrui's lecture for its depth of knowledge, but I detest the fact that his narrative tacitly tried to undermine Christianity and to promote Islam in some way. He called the cross "detachable"; a word he couldn't have used for the crescent which he held sacred as a Muslim.

A more accurate perspective of the continent in Genesis 2:9-14, "8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates."
