Hebrewisms of West Africa - Hardcover

by Joseph J. Williams (Author)

Hebrewisms of West Africa is a book written by Joseph J. Williams that explores the historical and cultural connections between the Hebrew people and West African tribes. The book discusses the similarities between the Hebrew language and certain West African dialects, as well as the presence of Hebrew customs and traditions in West African societies. Williams argues that these connections are evidence of a shared ancestry between the Hebrew people and West African tribes, and that this history has been largely ignored or suppressed by mainstream academia. The book draws on a variety of sources, including historical records, linguistic analysis, and anthropological research, to present a compelling case for the existence of Hebrewisms in West Africa. Overall, Hebrewisms of West Africa offers a fascinating and thought-provoking perspective on the history and culture of both the Hebrew people and West African tribes.1930. From Nile to Niger with the Jews. This volume is the consequence of eleven years of intensive research, after the preliminary five years spent in Jamaica. It naturally follows along the line of study, with chapters parallel to the steps of investigation, except that the Hebrewisms are, for the most part, grouped together at the beginning of the work. The argument at best must be a cumulative one, and as a single witness may be accused of bias or of being liable for error, quotations must necessarily be multiplied, even with a danger of becoming tedious. The two closing chapters will deal with a general summary and the author's personal deductions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
