Explain why Africans in possession of Timbuktu manuscripts are reluctant to turn them over to libraries and other authorities.

History
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
5 0
During 1200 to 1450, Timbuktu had the largest library in the world and it held hundreds of thousands of books. Their library brought them great wealth and prosperity. However, after Chris Columbus and his Spanish explorers discovered the Americas and eventually started the Columbian Exchange, Africans were greatly disadvantaged. The Europeans captured millions of West Africans and transported them to the Americas as slaves. Timbuktu was located in West Africa. Their library is their biggest token of wealth after all the horror all the enslaved West Africans went through.

why the term “renaissance” is an appropriate term to describe what took place in Harlem in the 1920s.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The term "renaissance" is used for something that is unusual or out of favor, however, appropriately for this statement, the word renaissance is used to define specifically to art, literature, and culture.

In the 1920s, it can also be defined as the Roaring 20s as more African Americans moved to the North from the South and that Harlem is one of the popular destinations for families.  This would redefine as the term used for the cultural revival of African American entertainment through music, dance, literature, and much more.
