Item Maat and the Rebirth of Kmt 'Land of Black People': An Examination of Beatty's Djehuty Project(Filosofia Theoretica Journal of African Philosophy Culture and Religions, 2021) Aketema, J.; Kambon, O.B.In this paper, we examine Ɔbenfo Mario H. Beatty’s chapter, ‘Maat the Cultural and Intellectual Allegiance of a Concept’ in terms of its articulation of MꜢꜤt ‘Maat’. This examination sets out to delineate how a return to the principles inherent in MꜢꜤt ‘Maat’ can serve to bring about the Wḥm Mswt ‘Rebirth/Renaissance’ of Kmt ‘Land of Black People’ and Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ economically and politically. This research is significant in that it points us away from the semantically vacuous and etymologically opaque terms “Africa” and “Africans” to terminology, principles, and practices that restore our original identity as Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’.
