Beskrivning

Ama Mazama: The Ogunic Presence in Africology is a critical analysis of the ideas of Ama Mazama, a prominent and leading female theorist in Africology and African American Studies. Molefe Asante studies the creative and productive power of Mazama’s intellectual work as it emerges from the personal wrestling with spiritual elements of consciousness as well as Mazama’s attention to ancestral and perhaps epigenetic relationships to African spirituality in the making of theory and practice. Painting a picture of an activist intellectual concerned as much with mental as well as spiritual liberation, Asante demonstrates how and why Ama Mazama has evolved into one of the most popular Africologists in the field.

Molefi Kete Asante’s Ama Mazama: The Ogunic Presence in Africology takes the reader on a remarkable journey of Ama Mazama’s intellectual ascendency. Asante tells this story from the same spiritual center that informs her consciousness. Simply put, he gets her. His exploration of Mazama’s international stature helps solidify this profound activist scholar’s place in the discipline of Africology as well as her importance to the broader Pan-African world. This work situates Ama Mazama among the greatest African thinkers, past and present. Ama Mazama: The Ogunic Presence in Africology is a breathtaking paradigmatic maze of Afrocentric intellectualism that is grounded in the same African cultural framework and cosmology that inspire Ama Mazama’s genius. This is a must read!
