  • Summary

  • Celebrating the memory of the author of Deep Obeah, Dr. Roi Kwabena.

    He was a cultural anthropologist, but not an academic. His work was done entirely outside of the walls of academia, a form of cultural activism that inspired others who—even without a degree in anthropology—began to call themselves anthropologists nonetheless. He was an artist, a musician, a poet, a teacher, an essayist, a researcher, a publisher, and for a while a politician as well. What distinguishes Roi Kwabena ....was his combination of art and analysis, culture and politics, publication and public engagement, in the service of a committed critique of imperialism and neo-colonialism. A man from “the periphery,” he operated across the periphery and the centre. ---Professor Maximilian C. Forte from Zero Anthropology

    My thanks to Professor Maximilian Forte for permission to share Dr. Kwabena's words and music, they are powerful.
