Wonders Of The African World - Behind The Scenes Gates has been described as the most notable scholar of africanamerican studiesin the At Harvard, Gates has revived a black studies department which http://www.pbs.org/wonders/BehindSc/behind.htm
Extractions: For centuries, the history of much of Africa has been hidden from the world, lost to the ravages of time, nature and repressive governments. Now, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. uncovers an Africa most people never knew existed. In WONDERS OF THE AFRICAN WORLD WITH HENRY LOUIS GATES JR., Gates challenges the widespread Western view of Africa as the primitive "dark continent" civilized by white colonists. He shatters myths as he tells the true stories of proud lands filled with great civilizations, cities and centers of learning long before any Europeans set foot there. He also shares his poignant personal odyssey as an African American, the great-great-grandchild of slaves, returning to the cradle of black civilization. The six one-hour programs air on PBS Monday-Wednesday, October 25-27, 1999, 9:00 p.m. ET ( check local listings "I wanted to bring this lost African world into the consciousness of the larger public, black and white," says Gates, chair of Afro-American studies at Harvard and director of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research. "It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact, Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent, subtle and sophisticated people, with organized societies and great art." Filmed over 12 months in 12 countries, the series takes viewers on a journey through Africa past and present. WONDERS OF THE AFRICAN WORLD is filled with unforgettable images of the breathtaking beauty of the continent and its people: the thundering falls at the source of the Blue Nile, the empty sands of the Sudan stretching to the horizon, the clove-scented shores of Zanzibar, the friendly faces of vendors in small-town market squares and the regal visage of the Queen Mother of the Ashanti royal family in Ghana.

Bibliographies are used to answer a wide variety of questions and to further research by identifying sources on various subjects and/or types. They are lists of works arranged on the basis of authorship, subject, place of publication, or the time (year, month, etc.) of publication. They are usually arranged alphabetically, but sometimes a system of subject classification is used. Some bibliographies are annotated, meaning that each entry includes a brief description of the cited work. Bibliographies can also be complete or selective. Abajian, James T.
