When N*66@%$ Read: How Literacy Transformed Our Legacy [ebook] | Dr. Nboma Taylor

When N*66@%$ Read traces the historical arc of literacy in the African-American experience, purposefully illustrating a journey from survival to self-empowerment.

The historical trajectory begins in antiquity with a detailed description of the development of literary forms from Sumer’s cuneiform characters to Egypt’s hieroglyphs to the written word as we know it today.

Throughout this work, we observe a common thread: literacy is never neutral.

It has always been tied to power, self-determination, and the ability to influence one’s destiny. The stories in this book demonstrate that the fight for knowledge has been central to the African-American experience, from bondage to contemporary achievement, and that this fight continues to shape our collective future.
