Nsibidi by Kevin Hales
This text explores the vast and often unacknowledged realm of African writing systems, particularly the Nsibidi script used by the Ekpe and Mgbe societies. The volume explores the historical, cultural, and communicative significance of Indigenous African scripts and their role in documentation, tradition, and artistic expression, challenging colonial narratives that have historically minimized or overlooked Africa's rich written heritage.Kevin J.
