The Myth of a "Stolen Legacy."
Lefkowitz, Mary
Society, v31 n3 p27-33 Mar-Apr 1994
Examines the methods James uses to establish the misleading thesis that African peoples made the original discoveries that led to the development of what has been thought of as Western thought. Hypothesis is treated as virtual fact, and history is misrepresented. "Stolen Legacy" is not a serious work of scholarship. (SLD)
