Over many years now, Robert Farris Thompson has presented African systems of thought, expression, and being in the most compelling of ways. In this classic study of Kongo and related peoples of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Thompson's insights are matched by his singular ability as a wordsmith: No one engages language as does he, and readers will find themselves jotting down phrases for their own uses, even as they contemplate what it takes to study and understand profound complexities of African ways of being in the world as has the author. After enjoying Four Moments of the Sun, it will not surprise to readers that Thompson was once described in The Village Voice as a "guerilla scholar" for his willingness to defy platitudes. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 24 pages.
