Just wondering how your going with it and what sources your using, i think its a really interesting topic, but i find Bernal and Lefkowitz somewhat unreadable. cheers

You could only ever hit it from something like the angle as to why communities absorb other people's history. Eg the Romans with Troy.

You could never do it from an angle of seriously considering the thesis. It's absolutely ridiculous, unscholarly, and a waste of time even considering as an argument.

Im looking at how the afrocentrist's within the debate have utilised his thesis and contributed to race relations within the US. However, you said it was "unscholarly" and "ridiculous", this does not mean that it is unowrthy of interpretation as an altenative history that has impacted upon the civil rights movement greatly. Thanks for your suggestion
