Reviews for Abraham Hanibal: Prince of Logone, Pushkin's African Ancestor
"Dieudonne Gnammankou's work on Gannibal, culminating in the publication of 'Abraham Hanibal, l'aieul noir de Pouchkine', ushered in a new era in the study of Pushkin's African ancestry. There has been a flurry of new, largely academic works on Gannibal in the wake of Gnammankou's bombshell." - C.T.Nepomnyashchy
