This really makes me feel inspired! I am doing research (just for my personal enjoyment) on the African Diaspora in the places you named, and was becoming a little frustrated on the lack of books on the subject. <br /><br />There is a world-renowned Black Kuwaiti group called "the Miami Kuwaiti Band", composed of a family of Afro-Kuwaitis. They perform throughout the Middle East, Europe, North America, everywhere. The first time I saw them perform on TV I was hooked! I was put in some kind of spell! I couldn't understand the Arabic, but the EMOTIONAL singing and instruments really blew me away. Since then I have tried to find everything I could on sub-Saharan Blacks in the Middle East---including the territory we call Palestine.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896531632878621005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-89354221617845904842012-12-24T07:07:49.089+01:002012-12-24T07:07:49.089+01:00There are people of AFrican descent everywhere in ...There are people of AFrican descent everywhere in the middle east, including Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Saudi, you name it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-47615287432075108062012-11-20T02:08:40.437+01:002012-11-20T02:08:40.437+01:00Wow.

I could blame the White European centered school system for my ignorance. But with the internet, there's no excuse to stay ignorant about the presence and cultures of Black people worldwide.<br /><br />To help raise awareness about Afro-Turks, I published a post on my blog: <a href="http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/01/focus-on-afro-turks.html" rel="nofollow">http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/01/focus-on-afro-turks.html</a> Focus on Afro-Turks<br /><br />(I gave a hat tip & a hyperlink to this post)<br /><br />Thanks again!!<br /><br />-an African American sistaAzizihttp://www.cocojams.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-78621751816728656332012-01-19T21:58:54.298+01:002012-01-19T21:58:54.298+01:00Anonymous and anonymous, thanks for the compliment...Anonymous and anonymous, thanks for the compliments. <br /><br />And I am sure you already found out I didn't make the book, but it’s good to see that the posting was informative.Afro-Europehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824302981015575893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595398753131290281.post-77447119234915780562012-01-19T17:16:26.287+01:002012-01-19T17:16:26.287+01:00My kids are Afro-Turkish-German!
