The new book

The Construction of Black Civilization, Volume I

The Classical Origins of Black Power, Pan-Afrikanism and the Dikènga Theory of Self-Identification as Kmt(yw) “Black People”

The book reconstructs the classical foundations of Black Power from the historical experience and intellectual world of Kmt(yw) “Black People.” Drawing together ancient sources, historical evidence and the Dikènga Theory, it examines how Black people defined themselves, organized internally, built alliances with other Black peoples and resisted domination.

Volume I establishes the intellectual, cultural and civilizational grounding for Abibitumi as an ancient, continuous and living framework for Abibifahodie.

Black­nificent

/ˌblæk.ˈnɪf.ɪ.sənt/ adjective

A descriptive (only) of the race of original, indigenous, melanated Black Afrikans on their continent, in the Diaspora, and their direct descendants, which identifies and describes their immeasurable high achievements in every aspect of human endeavor — medicine, science, literature, mathematics, family development, government, culture, education, spiritual development — that were beyond the scope, breadth and depth of the concept of magnificent.

Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon

Professor in the Language, Literature, and Drama Section of the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana; founder of Abibitumi; and founder and official spokesperson of the Decade of Our Repatriation (D.O.O.R.). A multi-award-winning linguist, scholar and institution-builder, his work centres on Abibifahodie “Black Liberation”, classical Kmt, the languages of Black people, and Black self-identification and operationalization.

Through scholarship, teaching, publishing and institution-building, he advances Black-defined approaches to Abibitumi “Black Power” in all areas of human activity, drawing on the Kambondigm developed by his father, Nana Kamau Rashidi Kambon.
