First sentence: The central project of this essay is to make a useful contribution to the ancient and ongoing conversation around the definition, field, and function of African communicative practice, using classical African sources, principally ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) texts, as a fundamental point of departure and framework for understanding and engaging African American rhetoric.
