MDW NTR: Divine Speech by Jacob H. Carruthers

Does the Word in Africa have a proper meaning?

Could a diachronic study of the Word in Africa be undertaken? What is the meaningful particularity of the African Word since the Egyptian Mdw Ntr (hiero-glyphs) to Nommo, the Spoken Word of the Dogon of

Mali? All these questions pertaining to History and Philosophy are carefully and thoroughly examined in this book. It is a great honor to recommend this book not only to the specialist but to all those interested in conducting research in African and African American Studies.

This book is a philosophical wake up call. I hope after reading it a large number of people will go beyond the book and find new values (in the works of others)...calling for a total reexamination of the role and contribution of African people to world history.. Deep thought is a weapon in the war for liberation. Prof. Carruthers has helped us sharpen our tools for the intellectual battles of the present and the future.
