Univ of Sankore Pr

A selection and retranslation of the oldest sacred text in the world, with critical commentaries on the richness of the African spiritual achievement and legacy in ancient Egypt. In this selection we read the earliest written record of the dawning of humanity's structured consciousness concerning spirituality and ethics. Here we find, for the first time in human history, the concepts of Maat (truth, justice, rightness), humans in the image of God, human dignity, judgment after death, free will, immortality of the soul, human equality, and social justice.

Maulana Karenga

Dr. Maulana Karenga is professor and chair of the Department of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach. He is author of numerous scholarly articles and several books. Dr. Karenga is also the creator of Kwanzaa and the Nguzo Saba and executive director of the Institute of Pan-African Studies.Almost 30 years ago when I was a classroom teacher in the Dayton, Ohio public school system, I was asked to teach a course in Black History. While preparing the syllabus, it dawned on me that although I had graduated from a historically Black University with a major in History, I knew very little about the subject. I then began a personal mental reclamation project in an attempt to rescue and reconstruct my humanity. Dr. Karenga's Introduction To Black Studies was a welcome addition to this ongoing project. Dr. Charles Henry, Professor, African American Studies, UC Berkeley says, "Maulana Karenga's Introduction To Black Studies is simply the best text available on the subject," and I agree with this assessment. Dr. James B. Stewart of Penn State University says "the volume reflects throughout, the commitment to solid analytical inquiry that characterizes the scholarship of its author."

This remarkable book for young adults is written by the creator of Kwanzaa, Maulana Karenga, who conceived of, named, and then began vigorously promoting the holiday over three decades ago. With clarity and warmth, he presents a compelling picture of Kwanzaa's special role for people of African descent.

In this new edition, Dr Maulana Karenga has again compiled the latest material from a vast array of sources in the seven core areas of Black Studies: history, religion, sociology, politics, economics, creative production and psychology.

This volume is a lucid and essential contribution to our critical understanding of the intellectual and practical work of Cheikh Anta Diop. Professor Asante identifies and clarifies the key components, concerns and evolutionary contours in Diopian thought, and weaves them into a richly textured pattern and composite portrait of this distinguished scholar of astounding erudition and extraordinary insight. Asante traces Diop's intellectual and political evolution, opens critical vistas into his multidisciplinary competence and approach. The book focuses on Diop's constant concern with putting knowledge and science in the service of the dignity and development of Africa. Moreover, Asante reaffirms Diop's towering position as a founding figure in African-centered scholarship and his expansive and enduring influence in the world African community.
