Essays in Ancient EgyptianStudies

“Cheikh Anta Diop has posed the question of whether the African philosophical tradition may serve as a model for a philosophy that is more sensitive to human needs than the many messages offered by European philosophy. This book is unquestionably a contribution to that endeavor. What one discovers here is not only a significant challenge to the Eurocentric interpretation of ancient Egypt and, by extension, African history and culture, but also the contours of an Afrocentric analytical paradigm that is important to intellectual self-determination and growth.” —-Maulana Karenga, Ph.D.
