The First Nation of Africa by Walker Norris is simply an eye-opener that brings to the open hidden, undiluted, and unadulterated truth about the history of Africans and Indians. It shows how they found themselves in America, when they came, the struggles they underwent, and the fight against slavery and racism. There are several positive aspects of the book. First, the book sought to expose readers, especially Africans, to the history of the Black race that European writers have concealed in their various tales and accounts of the history of African-Americans. Second, the style and manner of writing are clear and easy to understand. Then, the exposition is one of a kind. It gives a different, intriguing, and mind-blowing account of the history of the black race.

Walker gave a detailed account and description of her findings, spurred by her interest in investigating for herself the true story behind the history of African-Americans. Her discovery led her to find the actual origin of slavery, the Bible. She also discovers how many lies have been told about the origin of the Black race, which she recorded and contradicted. Walker made a different exposition of the origin of the blacks and the struggles they underwent to break out from the slavery the southerners subjected to them. The book simply tells the Black race their history as experienced by their ancestors and the role of the 'Almighty' in their race for the pursuit of actual freedom.

Despite the intrigue the story has, there are still some negative aspects of the book. First, some errors distorted the proper understanding of the messages contained in the book. These errors range from the wrong style and use of punctuation, especially the punctuation, to the use of the homophones of words instead of the actual words intended. Another negative aspect is that the author had made references to some knowledge acquired without making mention of how he had learned such pieces of information. An example can be found in the history she gave, starting from page 31 to page 34, where the author had made an exposition on the Indian war with smallpox without stating the source of the knowledge.

Nevertheless, I find the book intriguing and expository. I give the book a 3 out of 4 stars. There are several errors in the book, which proves that the book was not properly edited. These errors are not limited to the ones discussed above. In the Table of Content, the author had purportedly divided the book into parts. However, there was no place expressly named part one. Also, it seems part two appears two times with different contents.

For recommendation, I do recommend the book to the Black tribes, especially the African Americans who have not been allowed to learn the true history of their ancestors but have only been exposed to the European knowledge gotten through books and history classes.

This would be a very great book if the errors were rectified.

As a pan africanist I must read this book. Hope it is factual in its interpretation of African history

I a really interested in the history of Africa and African Americans. I find this weird, why can’t we all just be Americans? American and several other countries are guilty of oppression of black people and other races as slaves. I really don’t understand why.

I've read many books that depict the struggles that Black people faced in America. This one seems a little bit special. For the review, Thank you!
