The Sankofa Movement: ReAfrikanization & War

[Olùkọ́ Ọbádélé]

The Sankofa Movement: ReAfrikanization and the Reality of War
K. Agyei and Akua Nson Akoto
Over the course of the last three decades, the ancient Afrikan/Akan concept of Sankofa has achieved a progressively greater familiarity and popular usage. Its popularity can be explained only partially by "indigenization" - a growing international repsonse to the forces of "globalization." For the Afrikan world, Sankofa represents a much more fundamental expression of cultural connectedness. The Sankofa Movement describes the fundamental nature of the intuitive urge among Afrikan people to reconnect with the essence of traditional Afrika, and it addresses the unresolved issues of survival and development raised by such luminaries as Marcus Garvey, Martin Delaney, Drusilla Houston, Yaa Asantewa, Kwame Nkrumah and countless other Afrikan teachers, Warriors and Healers.

As one of the most thought provoking and challenging works in the Pan-Afrikan Cultural Nationalist tradition in recent memory, this is required reading for all conscious Afrikans interested in exploring the intimate relationship between our cultural practice and our collective agency.

This book is definately in my top three. There is no other book that is more relevant and the instructions are a how-to of African Cultural Restoration. It covers everything, the ReAfrikanization of family, the ReAfrikanization of relationships, Nationbuilding etc..
