THE REVOLUTIONARY HISTORIAN

CHEIKH ANTA DIOP (1923-1986) - SENEGAL

Cheikh Anta Diop was a historian, anthropologist, Egyptologist, and politician. While a student at the Sorbonne University, he demonstrated in "Nations Nègres et Culture" (1954) the African origins of Egyptian civilization and the antiquity of Africa's contribution to world civilization. His work reflects the importance for Africans of producing their own historical and scientific research to counter racist theses. Upon returning to Senegal in 1960, he was denied a teaching position at the university that bears his name today. A Pan-Africanist, he became an incorruptible political opponent of President Léopold Sédar Senghor, who briefly imprisoned him. Until his death, Cheikh Anta Diop produced significant works on the cultural unity of Africa and gave numerous lectures calling for Africa to be its own epistemological center.
