King James was black: Part Two
By Simba Jama -
A FEW months ago in the series ‘Moorish depiction in European literature’ we referred to the ‘3D’ animation movie called Shrek.
This movie is about a green giant (ogre) who eventually marries a cursed princess and becomes heir of a kingdom called ‘Far-Far Away’.
The princess’s curse was that she was white during the day and green during the night and this probably meant that she was coloured (mixed race).
When Shrek married her she became permanently green (black).
The character Shrek has a Scottish accent throughout the movie and the issue of kingship and miscegenation greatly links this movie to the story of King James.
The kingdom of Far-Far Away symbolises England and northern Europe because those lands were once known as ‘the ends of the earth’.
