2016 Reprint of 1887 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition; not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. As a writer; Blyden is regarded widely as the "Father of Pan-Africanism". His major work; "Christianity; Islam and the Negro Race" (1887); promoted the idea that practicing Islam was more unifying and fulfilling for Africans than Christianity. He argues that Christianity was introduced chiefly by European colonizers. He believed it had a demoralizing effect; although he continued to be a Christian. He thought Islam was more authentically African; as it had been brought to sub-Saharan areas by people from North Africa. His book was controversial in Great Britain; both for its subject and because many people at first did not believe that a black African had written it.
