THE IRRITATED GENIE
JacobCarruthers

Race vindication has long been a major theme in the consciousness of blacks living in the United States... Early conceptualizations of this consciousness in the second decade of the 19th century reflected on the Haitian Revolution as a demonstration of race redemption....The liberator of Haiti, Jean Jacques Dessalines, in his speech accepting the office of governor general for life of the newly independent Black Nation, referring to the possible attempted invasion of Haiti, asserted that upon approach.... The irritated genie of Haiti looming out of the bosom of the sea appears , his menacing face rouses the waves, stirs up storms and his mighty hand smashes or scatters their ships. Knowledge Book Club meets Sunday February 28th 2010 at 2:00pm, we will be discussing the book The Irritated Genie by Jacob Carruthers. Please feel free to come and participate or just listen.

• In our continued effort to awaken the minds of our people, Knowledge Bookstore seeks to demystify the 'scriptures' through an ongoing in-depth look into the 'King James Version' of the Bible.

Jackson, Ishakamusa Barashango, J.A Rogers, Diop, Nana Darkwah and many others. In his controversial work The Africans Who Wrote The Bible, Nana Darkwah proves biblically, historically and scientifically that originally it was Africans who wrote the Bible. Darkwah states, that Black people of the Bible were not Jews and were not Hebrews. They originated from the Black tribes that were the Ancient Egyptians.
