Kush to Mysterious Babylon: The History of the Hindu Caste & White Privilege (2nd Edition)Kush to Mysterious Babylon is a groundbreaking, Afrocentric exploration of the global systems that have upheld caste, colonialism, and white supremacy across centuries of conquest, spiritual distortion, and resistance. In this expanded second edition, Michael Ray Lemons takes readers on a sweeping historical and spiritual journey-one that begins in ancient Kush, where Black civilizations once flourished with covenantal ties to the God of Israel, and ends in the heart of Mysterious Babylon, a prophetic symbol for modern-day empires that uphold systemic oppression and spiritual deception.
Rooted in biblical prophecy, historical truth, and cultural critique, this work unpacks how empires from Assyria and Babylon to Rome, Great Britain, and the United States have used religion, warfare, and racial hierarchies to dominate Black and Brown peoples. It also highlights the lesser-known history of the Hindu caste system, its Aryan origins, and its parallels with Western white supremacy-exposing how skin tone, bloodline, and social rank have been weaponized to create global systems of dehumanization.
Lemons draws critical connections between the Out of Africa theory-which confirms the African origins of all humanity-and the persistent denial of Black identity, sovereignty, and dignity. Through the stories of biblical prophets, enslaved African ancestors, Dalit resistance leaders, and freedom fighters like Harriet Tubman, Dr. King, Nelson Mandela, and Fred Hampton, the book invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths: whiteness has been idolized, history has been rewritten, and God's covenant has been commodified.
