Yosef Ben-Jochannan
Yossef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan (/ˈbɛnˈjoʊkənən/ 31 de dezembro de - 19 de março de ), referido por seus admiradores como " Dr. Ben ", foi um escritor e historiador americano. Ele foi considerado um dos estudiosos afrocêntricos mais proeminentes por alguns nacionalistas negros, enquanto a maioria dos estudiosos tradicionais, como Mary Lefkowitz,[1] o rejeitou por causa das imprecisões históricas básicas em seu trabalho, bem como disputas sobre a autenticidade de seus graus educacionais e credenciais acadêmicas.[2]
