Securing the History of Self: What of Historical Fiction?

Naturally, the Afrikan history continuum holds the real life self-determined experiences of Afrikan souls. Yet, in a contemporary context of interruption and disruption could there be an intentional drive – on the part of others that mean the Afrikan ill – to replace the real substance of Afrikan history with a historical fiction? Certainly, misinformation and misrepresentation of Afrikan history to Afrikan people could have a devasting impact on the knowing of themselves and their norm of continual ascension. To bring some definitional detail to the subject, a mainstream source offers the following description of historical fiction:

“Historical fiction is a literary genre that reconstructs past events in fictional stories. Common characteristics of this writing genre are the inclusion of historical events or historical people, invented scenes and dialogue, as well as authentic and believable details”.

Of course, self-determined fictional story telling can be an important part of the Afrikan experience and there is a vast array of genius-filled works that Afrikan souls have produced throughout the ages. Indeed, creative genius flow in this area ought never cease production to effect wholesome entertainment, inspiration, provide lessons and so on in the lives of soul people. However, if others of ill, seek to push and peddle a fiction concocted with intent to replace the realities of the Afrikan history continuum, then immense levels of confusion, chaos and ignorance can be a result.

To put specific focus on the targeting of Afrikan souls through fictional narratives concocted for ill purpose, a change in the language may be useful. Instead of describing fictional stories concocted for ill-intent with a target of Afrikan souls as historical fiction, the term propaganda – or specifically – anti-Afrikan propaganda may lean to towards a greater provision of insight.

Another mainstream source offers the following account of what is described as ‘black propaganda’. This is a drive by others to mislead, misinform and so on - Afrikan souls:

“The major characteristic of black propaganda is that the audience are not aware that someone is influencing them, and do not feel that they are being pushed in a certain direction. Black propaganda purports to emanate from a source other than the true source. This type of propaganda is associated with covert psychological operations”.

This is not to be confused with the wholesome creative output determined by Afrikan souls themselves. Rather, this is negative thrust on the part of others to cause damage to Afrikan life and ought to be seen as ‘anti-black’ or, more accurately, anti-Afrikan at best.

Despite the destructive attempts of others that mean the Afrikan ill, it is Afrikan souls themselves that can secure themselves from destructive fictional propaganda through restoration of a knowingness of themselves and their cultured living. After all civilisation is not of happenstance.
