Matrix of African Proverbs - by Muata Ashby (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In terms of African society and civilization, the matrix is proverbial wisdom teachings. African proverbial wisdom teachings are aphorisms that may be found from ancient to modern times that contain a uniquely African perspective on life, social organization, and spiritual existence that has been refined and encapsulated over generations. African proverbial wisdom teachings contain guiding principles that were used by ancient African societies and which can still be found in use throughout Africa for the transference of wisdom containing a code for the architecture of a well-ordered society and also for personal material and spiritual fulfillment. This volume is dedicated to outlining those principles embedded in African Proverbial Wisdom teachings for those who want to recapture the innate African acumen for creating political and economic well-being and spiritual connection to the universe.

This manuscript, based on African Proverbial Wisdom Teachings, delves into the rich cultural heritage and profound insights of the African continent. It explores the historical and contemporary challenges faced by the Khoisan people, one of the oldest ethnic groups in southern Africa. The narrative highlights the conflicts that arose between the Khoisan, the Bantu, and the white Europeans, particularly during the era of colonial rule. The manuscript vividly describes how the Khoisan were displaced from their ancestral lands, much like the Native Americans in North, South, and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. The text underscores the ongoing marginalization and rights violations faced by the Khoisan, even after the end of white rule, as they continue to be oppressed by the descendants of the Bantu1.
