Has anyone here read "They Came Before Columbus" by Ivan Van Sertima?

I am currently reading it but would like some educated opinions. I believe it to be black revisionist history, and yet as far into it as I am at this point it seems plausible.

I think that I read some reviews of this book a year or two ago but can't find them now.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ir's absolute hogwash. Just ask any reputable Central American anthropologist.
