Critical Perspectives on African Genocide ~ a suspenseful, one-of-a-kind collection of compelling testimonies by a team of brave African and pro-Africa scholars who fearlessly dare to expose the partiality of the western-dominated International Community, which adamantly refuses to assign the “genocide” label to acts of barbaric violence perpetrated against African people in Africa and black diasporas, thus endorsing the ugly and racist notion that Black lives do not matter.
