The African Origins Of Rhetoric
Through a critical analysis of ancient African texts that predate Greco-Roman treaties, this title revisits the roots of rhetorical theory and challenges what is often advanced as the 'darkness metaphor' - the rhetorical construction of Africa and Africans. It offers an examination of Ptah-hotep and core African ethical principles (Maat).
