Textual Life: Islam, Africa, and the Fate of the Humanities - Black Lives in the Diaspora: Past / Present / Future
Wendell Marsh
The Senegalese Muslim scholar Shaykh Musa Kamara wrote a monumental history of West Africa in a time when colonial discourses asserted that Africans lacked both writing and history. Textual Life considers Kamara’s story as a parable about the fate of the humanities amid epistemic and technological change.
