This book was written by the host of the powerful weekly podcast: The Real Wakandas of Africa (Maurice Miles Martinez). The host speaks like famous Black leaders. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

The book, The Real Wakandas of Africa is the sequel to J.A. Rogers’ book: From Superman to Man and is an introduction to the field of African Studies. Also published as From Man to Superman: Dr. John Henrik Clarke vs. Herman Cain. This book documents the history of Africans including real civilizations in Africa that produced elements that act in a similar way to the fictional vibranium and are currently used to fuel smartphones and rocket engines. (The author also wrote a separate book specifically on a number of materials that act like vibranium. The second book covers Europe colonialism of Africa and is called: The Real Vibranium of Africa—also available on Amazon).

The Real Wakandas of Africa explains that African civilizations were so advanced that some of their feats of construction and science have never been matched. For example, Africans built a wall that was almost 10,000 miles long which was further detailed in the book: The Great Wall of Africa by Maurice Miles Martinez (the same author). The Real Wakandas of Africa is set in a novel where an African studies professor meets Herman Cain on a bus ride. They debate several issues around race, slavery, the New Jim Crow and the origin of civilization. Along the way, they refer to more than 200 factual sources. In this way, this book serves as an introduction to the field of African Studies. For a more detailed description of the book The Real Wakandas of Africa, please look inside the book on Amazon.

**This is one of several books that I wrote including: The Great Wall of Africa: The Empire of Benin’s 10,000
Mile Long Wall, and The Real Vibranium of Africa (by Maurice Miles Martinez).

**Please listen and subscribe to my weekly podcast: The Real Wakandas of Africa by Maurice Miles Martinez (It is unlike any other podcast because I speak in the voices of famous Black leaders and recite an original poem or rap track every week.)

Here are 2 reviews by prominent scholars in the field of African Studies and former colleagues of Dr. John Henrik Clarke: “Early in his career, I recognized that Dr. John Henrik Clarke was a brilliant intellectual and unique person. He invited me to join the faculty in the Department of Black and Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, CUNY. In this stirring discussion of African global history and politics, Maurice Miles Martinez brings Dr. Clarke alive for a new generation of readers and shows why his approach is still relevant to the struggle facing Africans and the African Diaspora today. By having Dr. Clarke encounter Herman Cain on a South-to-North bus ride, Martinez academically and metaphorically demonstrates Dr. Clarke’s desire to teach everywhere he went and to challenge those in power to outline a genuine economic, political and cultural roadmap for African people.” --Tilden Lemelle, Ph.D. and former Professor and Chair of the Department of Black and Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, CUNY ****************************************
“As a former colleague and friend of Dr. John Henrik Clarke, I found that Martinez captured his personality, his spirit and his desire to spread knowledge about Africa even to those who may be doubtful. Over the years, I traveled to the African continent with Dr. Clarke. Using more than 200 sources, many of which Dr. Clarke regularly cited in his lectures, Martinez brings forth Dr. Clarke’s approach to African History, his gift of persuasion by using irrefutable facts, and his desire to engage with those who did not see his point of view.” --Bert Green, Ph.D. Herbert H. Lehman College, CUNY
