Product Description
Analyzing myths, oral traditions and hieroglyphic texts, Armah reminds us of Africa's multi-millennial but long suppressed philosophy of rational, innovative social renewal. Early in African history, the way of equal companionship was buried under the decadent self-glorification of kingdoms and empires. It remains little known today, because in their fascination with the might-is-right ideologies and religions of European and Arab predators, African intellectuals have lost sight of this ancient and future way. This book says: Time to remember the way back home.

Changed my outlook
Posted by NusShen Ankhu on 21st Dec 2022
I have this book in my collection. Ayi Kwei Armah shone a light for me on returning to our essential nature and how putting ego ahead of a communal approach proved our undoing. I ordered three copies for our work library. Essential reading.

Excellent Read. I Am Extremely Satisfied .
Posted by Mende Kru on 18th Sep 2019
Mr Armah is one of me favorite authors. I'm always impressed with the depth of his knowledge. His dedication to the restoration of Africans is inspirational. His body of work should be required reading for Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.

Out of Plato’s Cave & Into A Sovereign Egalitarian African Future!
Posted by James Stone on 9th Aug 2018
Armah has changed the game with this one!!! This book is a guide to lead AFRICANS WORLDWIDE to break our slave/colonial inculcation so that we may embrace a future of dignity of a restored African humanity. Those of us who find solace in embracing the dynastic period of KMT as our crowning achievement (pun intended), will be disabused of this epistemological error, and come to see pre-dynastic KMT as a proper basis for an egalitarian future. Liberalism is properly put in its place as the pathological ideology that it is!
Other highlights are: monotheism as a tool of domination, Ghandi’s anti-African racism, Mansa Musa as problematic, an insightful and critical critique of Kwame Nkrumah’s Pan African ideology, why Africans must embrace an African identity (as opposed to an ethnic one, example: Igbo, African-American, Ghanaian, etc.) to achieve true liberation, and much more. Get this book if you are serious about the restoration and HEALING of the deracinated worldwide AFRICAN NATION!!!
