Description

How “African” was once ancient Egyptian civilization? By juxtaposing visual evidence of not unusual cultural features found in ancient Egypt and among African other people around the continent, such as maternity pictures, headrests, masks, animal deities and logos, body art, ancestor worship, depiction of the human shape, circumcision, and male initiation, “Egypt in Africa” explores the highly controversial query of the African nature of ancient Egypt. Original contributions by 28 authors representing the perspectives of archaeology, art history, physical anthropology, African studies, Egyptology, Afrocentric studies, and classical studies present diverse and on occasion opposing viewpoints on aspects of this hotly contested topic. Some of the contributors are Chike C. Aniakor, Molefi Kete Asante, Robert Steven Bianchi, Arthur P. Bourgeois, S. O. Y. Keita, Chapurukha M. Kusimba, Frank M. Snowden, Jr., and Frank J. Yurco.
