Book Description
Due to popular demand for the first edition, Mark Batty Publisher proudly announces a reissue of this title in paperback. Because the book sets the record straight about how colonial powers suppressed the rich cultural and artistic histories of Afrikan alphabets, this title should appeal to individual readers as well as schools and universities. Both entertaining and anecdotal, Afrikan Alphabets presents a wealth of highly graphical, attractive and inspiring illustrations. Writing systems across the Afrikan continent and the Diaspora are analyzed and illustrated; syllabaries, paintings, pictographs, ideographs and symbols are compared and contrasted. This colourful, extensively illustrated and informative visual journey will be of interest to everyone seeking inspiration from, or more information about, Afrikan culture and art.

Book Description
Beginning with 'Aardvark' and ending with 'Zuma' (with all sorts of animals, brands, characters, places and plants in-between) this book captures and alphabetises the essence of South Africa. A remarkable achievement for such a small book, don't you think?

Book Description
"Africa, the cradle of humanity, is a snake that swallows its own tail, a circle that has no beginning or end, a cosmos that is wholly inclusive, without limits or boundaries of any measurable kind. Africa is the sacred birth-mother to mankind, and thus her blessing and heritage embrace us all. Here, in African-American Alphabet, Gerald Hausman and Kelvin Rodriques seek to capture the vast wisdom and heritage of Mother Africa and to honor the common spirit that binds us, as a people, to our shared genesis." "African-American Alphabet is an historic and poetic A-to-Z collection of legends, traditions, and symbols that represents the great depth and breadth of African, Caribbean, and African-American culture. A work that, among other things, reinterprets slavery as an historical and cultural legacy, African-American Alphabet explores and illustrates the many ways that African-Americans and West Indians of the past bravely sought empowerment in the face of cruelty and suffering through the disciplines of magic, dance, drum, song, and story." "Each chapter is introduced by a key word whose significance to the culture is then demonstrated through examples of poetry, song, essay, interview, and myth, with material dating as far back as ancient Egypt or as recently as today." "Over fifty entries, including * Banjo * Conjure * Duppy * Father * Juba * Indigo * Nine Night * Obeah * Serpent * and Trickster are accompanied by over one hundred stunning photographs and illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
