The African Unconscious-an Epic Work on Black and Human Origins-Back in Print In Honor of Black History Month
African Unconscious is a reprint book about human origins and the evolution of modern psychology
- (1888PressRelease) February 23, 2012 - Over a decade has passed since the initial publication of The African Unconscious: Roots of Ancient Mysticism and Modern Psychology by award-winning psychologist Edward Bruce Bynum. This monumental book about the roots of our existence is now being brought back to print by New York based Cosimo Books.
The African Unconscious offers an exciting and captivating narrative about human history based on archaeology, genetics, and the bio-spiritual roots of religion and science. More importantly, Dr. Bynum posits that humans at their deepest core are variations on the African template. This bold, humanistic view offers a radical new vision of our collective unconscious in its daily and historical operations. Dr. Bynum goes beyond traditional "Eastern' and "Western" perspectives and presents a powerful, unifying and healing vision of our deeper shared consciousness and identity as a human species from our earliest days in Africa on to contemporary times.
The importance of this book is also evident from the praise it has received over the years:
Praise for African Unconscious and Edward Bruce Bynum:
"I read with awe this passionate, brilliant, epic work. It is one of the most exhaustive and revealing studies of Black and human origins I have ever seen." -Lee S. Sannella, M.D., author of The Kundalini Experience
"The scope of the author's knowledge is simply awesome, and ...makes for an adventuresome read…." -William E. Cross, Jr., Ph.D., author of Shades of Black
"The African Unconscious is indeed a daring work, and a unique contribution to African diasporic studies. It is a must for all students of human psychology." -Rowland O. Abiodun, author of Yoruba: Nine Centuries of African Art and Thought
This Black History month, we honor black Americans and their history stretching back to the colonial period. Cosimo Books now invites readers, psychologists and scholars interested in the roots of humanity to look back even further and contemplate the possibilities of a shared human origin and consciousness for all human beings.
