Our newest edition to our collection of books is ‘Da Homey in Dahomey’ by @adikabutler. Dahomey was a powerful West African kingdom located within present-day region of Benin. The Kingdom existed from approximately 1600 until 1904 and is the ancestral lands of our founder, @abundancechild’s maternal lineage. There are so many different oral and written stories about Dahomey and we are very honored and excited to make space for Adika’s version. He does a a powerful thing by taking us with him on his recent journey to Modern day Benin in a very Diasporic Black American Hip Hop and pop cultural way without the fear of invoking metaphysics and esotericism. This book will make you think. It had a similar effect of Zora Neale Hurston’s ‘ Barracoon: The Story of the Last Black Cargo.’ The writing and amazing photography by Butler will subliminally force you to realize your relationship with your ancestors and even the continent of Africa and its descendants all over. This book definitely makes the #AClist and is also useful to those looking for a good place to start looking into Vodun, Mami Wata, ana Buruku/ Buluku, Ifa/ Afa. It will not disappoint. #igdelaware #dropsquadbooks #dropsquadkitchen #wilmingtondelaware (at Drop Squad Kitchen) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7v3pErAYe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
