Omtale
Focusing on the Mandombe alphabet and the life-story of its inventor, David Wabeladio Payi, Ramon Sarró combines biography, art, and religion to explore the connections between religious imagination and innovation in Kongo culture. He offers a unique case study of the search for cultural and epistemological independence in the global south.
