Summary:	"Yurugu removes the mask from the European facade and thereby reveals the inner workings of global white supremacy: A system which functions to guarantee the control of Europe and her descendants (the few) over the majority of the world's people (the many). It is a devastating critique which uniquely focuses on the intellectual/cognitive rules by which the system of dominance operates: the assumption, ascendance, and valorization of the rational mode. Dr. Marimba Ani exposes the roles of both the academic and Christian establishment in proselytizing as 'universal' that which is indeed culturally specific to Europe and which therefore functions in the interest of European dominance, since that is the nature of the asili. Dr. Marimba Ani has written the first bonified text book from and Afikan-centered framework which focuses on European consciousness, the European worldview, and its global system of race domination. This book is an original, scholarly comprehensive and thorough analysis which lays out, in systematic detail, the historical development and pattern of European world domination, its core structures and key expressive components. She particularly articulates very clearly the nature of the 'European Survival Thurst' in terms of its philosophical core, methodology, basic tactics, expression, and consequences. Her book represents the final key to the Afrikan world breaking the death-grip of European world domination over Afrikans. This brilliant and courageous effort on the part of our distinguished sister warrior is MUST READING for all Afrikan/Black Studies students and faculty, and all serious minded Afrikans everywhere who are dedicated and committed to rebuilding Afrikan World Order. It will definitely become an essential part of the handbook for Afrikan's surviving the 21st Century!" -- Provided by publisher
