Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the categories that structure the language, thought, and social organization of the Bantu, particularly the Bavili and Bakongo people of Central Africa. The author argues that these categories reveal a profound understanding of the natural world and human experience, and that they provide a unique window into the African worldview. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including linguistics, anthropology, and history, to support this argument. In doing so, they challenge conventional understandings of African thought and provide a valuable resource for anyone interested in the diversity of human cognition.
