Our mission is to produce accessible bodies of work, which will teach people about African culture and history, within an African-cultured framework. This work will also serve as a multicultural dialogue to share the African cultural/historical experience with the wider World community. We also embody the seven core principles of the African Code. Our study of Africa is not a romantic enterprise, but moreover intended to enrich the human experience through fostering plurality. We believe It is by having an honest dialogue that the scourge of ignorance and hate can be arrested. And from a platform of self-determination African people globally can continue to contribute their unique cultural experience to the forward flow of humanity

Decolonising the Mind: Wa Ngugi
Ngugi describes this book as "a summary of some of the issues in which I have been passionately involved for the last twenty years of my practice in fiction, theatre, criticism and in the teaching of literature. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Europe stole art treasures from Africa to decorate their houses and museums; in the twentieth century Europe is stealing the treasures of the mind to enrich their languages and cultures...."

Black Skin, White Masks : Frantz Fanon
A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the African psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today. By Owen 'Alik Shahadah, Maulana Karenga, Hakim Adi, Kimani Nehusi

The Way we see it: Dr. Sandra Richards
Following in the steps of Bernard Coard's How the West Indian Child is Made Educationally Subnormal in the British School System, this book too threatens to cause a social and political storm, with its hard-hitting accounts of school exclusion and the realities of racism. Sandra Richards

Whoever does not inform his children of his grandfathers Then has destroyed his child, marred his descendants, And injured his offspring the day he dies.-Waziri Junayd-Nayl 'l-Arab Fi Istifsaa'i 'n-Nasab circa Ancient Timbuktu 16th Century

African Boy and Girl Names: Names are cultural identifiers. Your name links you with your past, your ancestors and is a part of your spirituality. A beautiful name accompanies us for the rest of our life. When we chose names for our children we should find a name that reflects their culture.

People of Africa: Diversity of People of Africa

Maafa Special: The African Holocaust series is dedicated to the self-determination of African people through quality media products, written and controlled by people of African decent. History through an oppressors eyes will always be twisted and distorted. Media plays a critical role in sustaining the negative global worldview toward people of African decent. Africa is represented as a totally negative entity which has played no part in human advancement and culture.
