SUMMARY:Ajami Manuscripts: New Sources of Knowledge for African and African Diaspora Studies
DESCRIPTION:CSAAD 2025-2026 Distinguished Scholar Event\nDr. Fallou Ngom\nBoston University \nTuesday\, November 11\, 2025\n5:00 pm – 6:30 pm\nNYU Silver Center\, Hemmerdinger Hall\n31 Washington Pl\nNew York City\, NY 10003\nZoom link: https://nyu.zoom.us/j/92593107329 \n\n\n\nPlease join CSAAD for our annual Distinguished Scholar Event\, featuring Dr. Fallou Ngom’s lecture presentation on Ajami Manuscript. Sub-Saharan Africa is often portrayed as being illiterate due to the Eurocentric tradition that equates literacy with the ability to read and write only in European languages and the Roman alphabet. However\, millions of Africans have been reading and writing various types of religious and non-religious texts in local languages\, using enriched forms of the Arabic script known as Ajami. In this lecture\, Dr. Ngom will explore what scholars and students in African and African diaspora studies can gain by studying African Ajami manuscripts. \n\n\n\nFor accommodations\, please contact the Program Manager for the Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora at ac8829@nyu.edu. \n\nWatch Recording Here\nMore Information on African ‘Ajami
