Sacred Earth Philosophy is an experimental memoir/manifesto hybrid from sangoma and writer, Esinako Ndabeni, co-author of Born to Kwaito: Reflections on the Kwaito Generation (2018). Traversing centuries of South African history, Sacred Earth Philosophy casts an eco-spiritual focus on the relationship between colonialism and ecological destruction. Using her understanding of indigenous initiation and knowledge systems as a sangoma, as well as her background in anthropology, Ndabeni delivers a searing personal account of her spiritual path before panning out to a poetic, discursive and stunningly original appraisal of our embattled planet and the technologies of indigenous knowledge systems that could halt its destruction.
