The American Mastodon Publication Approved List of Short Stories & Novels
.jpg)
Abstract
Writing in the West, was invented by people from the Khemetian (Egypt for Black land or Black blood) continent. Consequently, in order to facilitate the various kingdoms, empires, and governments, from Axum to Mali, writing played a critical role in communication of laws, trade, and the education of science and mathematics for the people of the continent. The following list curated and published by The American Mastodon Publication is a collection of short stories & novels, which intend to educate, program, and teach the African experience in the Diaspora. The current political, economic, intellectual-academic, military, and social experience of Africans in the Diaspora of the Americas (North, Central, & South) and Europe, is a product of the Muslim Jihad Wars beginning in 622 AD and the European Crusades beginning in 1066 AD. To be explicit, Africans in the Diaspora are the products of three millenniums of war and the clash of the Eastern & Western Civilizations. Consequently, the African continent was militarily overrun by both Arab and European Kingdoms seeking to spread their Kingdoms, and cultural religions of Islam, and Christianity. Prior to these widespread military campaigns, the people of the continent historically, did not refer to themselves as Africans, which is a designation of North Africa after the Roman defeat of the Carthagean King Hasdrubal in 146 BCE, renaming the province Africanus, after the Roman Deity of the southern wind, Africas. Also prior and post the Roman conquest, the organized civilization of Khemetians conducted massive campaigns into Europe under Lord Taariq Ibn Ziyaad, Conqueror of Andalusia (711-1492), the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, Conqueror of Britannia (193-211 AD), the Carthage (Phoenician) Empire, and numerous campaigns by Phoenician Emperors and Khemetian Pharoahs, which mapped the European coasts, spread intellectual culture & technology, and civilized customs and trade wares into Europa and the Eastern regions of Asia as far as China. The first civilization of the world, Khemet was already ancient and in decline due to social transformation, before the dawn of Empires in Asia or Greece. They created the world's first systems of writing, the mathematics of Geometry, the science of Chemistry, laws of civilization, organized religion, and systems of trade & war. They called themselves Khemet (Greek for Egypt-the land of Blacks) and Abyssinia (Greek for Ethiopia) with a very complex relationship with the East and the people of Europe. The Kingdoms and Empires of West Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa, were largely isolated from the clash of civilizations in North Khemet or North Africa, enjoying immense cultural cultivation, religious autonomy, and suppling goods, wealth, and warriors to the larger world including pre-Columbian America, Asia, in addition to the historical conflicts of Northern Khemet. After the Arab Jihads of North Africa, and the European Age of Exploration sparked by the Crusades, the people of West Khemet or West Africa were thrust into a clash of civilizations which was ongoing for at least three millenniums. Thus, Western, Eastern, & Southern Khemetians people, who were largely isolated from foreign influence, save through merchants, merchant seafarers and traders to the East, India and China, were ill prepared for the carnage and organized systems of dominion and warfare, they have faced since the declaration of both the Holy Jihad and Crusades were made on their isolated civilizations. The modern Kingdoms of Europe, Spain, Portugal, England, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Russia, and the Vatican all currently are vested in the Africans in Diaspora, directly benefiting from their military & economic naivete, made evident in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and their continual sojourning in the Americas. Likewise, the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia, North Africa in homage to the Ottoman Turks, and those of the Persian Islamic Gulf are vested in the African Diaspora of Asia, made evident in the larger, Islamic Slave Trade and their continual sojourning in Asia. It must be explicitly acknowledged for the Africans in the Western Diaspora of the Americas, that the Islamic Slave Trade was much larger than the European Slave Trade. The following list of African Diaspora novels is quite unique and can transport the readers back to the exact experience of the authors, programming to educate both those Africans in the Diaspora and those Africans on the continent, of the situation that is being faced and what has captured their fellow tribes of peoples, lands, and resources. What can be accomplished here is a collection of works, more significant to the African then any book ever written and comparable to the Holy Scriptures. The mere listing of The Papyrus of Ani, is the link of knowledge written prior to the Hebrew scriptures and from which much of their traditions is derived.. This list will be updated continuously.
