Black Inventors:
from Africa to America
 |
While most works on this subject deal only with a few well-known African American inventors, this book is one of the first to persuasively link African American inventors with a continuing tradition of African inventiveness dating back to prehistoric times. Loaded with references and full of impressive illustrations from the Stone Age to the Space Age, over two dozen inventors are profiled. Contributions by black inventors from Brazil and Russia are included, and the book presents a separate chapter with patent drawings on black women inventors in the United States. Read the Review.

"The invention of the first tools, the first buildings, and taming of fire took place in ancient Africa," says Mr. Gibbs. "Africans brought this creativity to the United States and invented an incredibly diverse range of products. From the golf tee and traffic signal to space age telescopes and the supersoaker water gun, African Americans' technological contributions should and must be better known. Black Inventors: From Africa to America is a great step forward in understanding the breadth and depth of this unique creativity."
