A Chosen People: The Eʋe From Kana Kindle Edition

A Chosen People: The Eʋe from KanaBy L. Seyram AdzankuWhat if one of West Africa’s most enduring cultures preserved living memories of the Biblical Exodus?In A Chosen People: The Eʋe from Kana, historian and independent researcher L. Seyram Adzanku presents a groundbreaking exploration of the Eʋe people of West Africa, drawing bold connections between Eʋe oral traditions, language, ritual life, and the ancient Biblical world. This work challenges long-standing assumptions in African history, Biblical studies, and colonial scholarship by placing Eʋe voices, memory, and language at the center of the narrative.Blending linguistics, oral history, scripture, ethnography, and historical documentation, Adzanku examines striking parallels between Eʋe migration traditions and the Exodus account, including shared naming practices, symbolic rituals, sacred geography, social structures, and linguistic correspondences with Ancient Hebrew. The book also interrogates European missionary and colonial records, exposing how African self-knowledge was often filtered, misunderstood, or deliberately suppressed.Written with scholarly rigor yet accessible to a broad audience, this book invites readers to rethink African history beyond slavery narratives and to recognize Africa as a custodian of ancient spiritual and historical knowledge.Inside this book, readers will discover:Eʋe oral traditions that parallel the Biblical ExodusLinguistic connections between Eʋegbe and Ancient HebrewThe cultural significance of names, symbols, and sacred ritualsRe-examinations of missionary and colonial accounts of the EʋeA restored African perspective on Biblical history and identityA Chosen People: The Eʋe from Kana is essential reading for anyone interested in African history, Biblical studies, linguistics, cultural memory, and the recovery of indigenous knowledge systems.
