TITLE ~ ~ ~ Black land; Or, reading Egyptian Hermetica & Mumbo Jumbo as ‘Afrotopian’ prophecies

UPDATED ABSTRACT ~ ~ ~ The old gods of the Black land did not retreat to the heavens — they took refuge underground (you can feel it in the beat). Their immanent rebirth is foretold in vivid detail through the prophetic sermons of Egyptian Hermetists and Ishmael Reed’s 1972 “graphics novel,” Mumbo Jumbo. This liturgical thicket heralds a golden age of African spirit: no mere primitive stupor or arcane whimsey, but a long overdue detaching of the West’s infernal grip on the imaginaries of the world. Deploying the term coined by Senegalese thinker Felwine Sarr, I read these texts as constitutive of an “Afrotopian canon” with the potential to turn back the clock on epistemic enclosure. This premonitory uprising offers us songs of freedom:

‘Mythic forces of time and tempo! Bestow upon us your powers: power to steal back the artifacts of our ancestors; power to return lands to their indigenous caretakers; power to reject the scourges of neocoloniality, racial capitalism, and gendered violence; power to dance to the rhythm of the cosmic funk; and above all, power to fertilize our knowledge of futures — that wellspring of visionary expression and divinatory swagger!’
