Afragoddess Mama Revelations: Wominspirit Reflection and Re-Possession A Sacred Afra-Shebat: Sat-Ta Up Uat Neh-ast (Re-birth) Day of Our Mighty Aframamma: Ma-T Sekhemet Sankha-T Hetchit.
Berkeley: Asungi/Mamaroots, Presumed Publisher, 1992. Pamphlet. Good. Item #022872
Illustrated wraps. Tall narrow booklet, 11 by 4 inches. 12 pp., including covers. A program for what appears to have been a one day event (August 5, 1992) held by AfraShe Asungi. Asungi founded MAMAROOTS: AJAMA-JEBITM, an "AfraGoddess sistahoood dedicated to Afracentric spirituality and cultural awareness" (quoting Asungi as quoted in Sacred Women of Africa and the African Diaspora: A Womanist Vision, an essay by Arisika Razak). As Razak notes, Asungi's work idealizes the form of dark-skinned woman, removes it from a male gaze, and counters "negative racially charged stereotypes of Black women." As an artist, Asungi's work explores Black, queer and goddess themes, much of it recalling mythical themes from Africa. It seems this event explored and developed the aforementioned sistahood through reflection, meditation and performance. This booklet includes some passages for recitation. GOOD condition. Two circular rust type stains at the upper and lower spine.
