Libation is an ancient African cultural ritual.\u00a0 Practiced throughout the continent,\u00a0libation is necessary and moving, while simultaneously, powerful and inspiring.\u00a0 Mwalimu Van Putten has performed libations at academic and cultural conferences, protest marches, Kwanzaa programs and, most notably, in enslavement dungeons in Ghana, Tanzania and Senegal.\u00a0 Her collection of original libations teach history, and gives homage to our ancestors majestically.\u00a0 Learn.\u00a0 Remember.\u00a0 Honor.<\/p>\n

“Melodye Micere Van Putten has dedicated her life to building community using the study of history.\u00a0 She is highly creative, multifacted person who cares deeply about ensuring that all communities have access to global Black history and its intellectually stimulating and liberating experience.”<\/em><\/p>\n

DEEPLY PERSONAL:\u00a0<\/strong>MUSINGS IN SHORT STORIES AND POETRY<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a descriptive title, Van Putten’s twelfth book shares her passion for history, culture, education and honoring the ancestors…\u00a0 She also poses questions that are worthy of contemplation towards meaningful action.\u00a0 Read. Think. Act accordingly.<\/p>\n

“Deeply Personal: Musings in Short Stories and Poetry is enjoyable to read as the writing maintains a lyrical, song-like quality even in prose.\u00a0 This does not prevent one from thinking about the issues it presents…”<\/em><\/p>\n
