Скачать или смотреть In Class with Carr, Episode 283: "Why Not Call it Mdw Ntr?"

Our Annual Nile Valley study tour continues the process of strengthening the work of Africana Studies as a tool for jailbreaking the university and renewing deeper traditions of community-centered education. Inspired by a 1996 exchange between Greg Kimathi Carr and Jacob Carruthers—where Carruthers urged embracing language and concepts from Mdw Ntr over attempting to repurpose European concepts as a form of Africana hermeneutics—this week’s reflections link Carruthers’ notion of ancient Kemet’s governance-through-education process to the “Black University” as concept.                                     

Against a Social Structure hellbent on bending collective memory to serve exclusion, fear and hatred, this annual study tour affirms education as the highest expression of self-determined nationhood, peoplehood and statehood. This fall, Carr will teach The Black University in a public format, constructing a syllabus open to all, to explore African people’s uncompromising commitment to communal intellectual life, rooted in ancestral guidance and seeking to inspire others to join in liberating knowledge from institutional restraints.
