Black Jews in Africa and the Americas is written by Tudor Parfitt and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674071506 (ISBN 10) and 9780674071506 (ISBN 13).

Parfitt explains how many African peoples came to think of themselves as descendants of the ancient tribes of Israel. Pursuing medieval and modern race narratives over a millennium in which Jews were cast as black and black Africans were cast as Jews, he reveals a complex interaction between religious and racial labels and their political uses.
