Boukari, Safoura. "Retrouvailles: A Comparative Meditation on the Experiences of African Descended Women & the Quest for Sisterhood- Toward a New Syncretic Paradigm," American Studies, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, June 1998.
The genesis of this dissertation is the combination of my personal experience in the United States and a meditation on socio-historical, cultural, economic, anthropological and literary domains of investigation. The work is divided into five inter-related chapters. It uses a multidisciplinary approach to find explanations to my theory. Moreover, it brings to light the notion of sisterhood and provides a futurist perspective through a new syncretic paradigm: Akan-Kemetism. An Analysis of the diversities existing among African Descended women, and the quest for sisterhood leads to an urge for returning to the Ancient Kemetic world vision through the belief and practice of MAAT (Truth, Justice, Order) for the improvement of the present, and a brighter future for all.
