Book Discussion: The Ambiguous Nature of Words

Kwadwo Datɛ of Abibitumi in Discussion with Seba Bonotchi Montgomery

Experience a rare and intellectually rich dialogue as Kwadwo of Abibitumi sits in discussion with Seba Bonotchi Montgomery, author of The Ambiguous Nature of Words. This conversation offers a deep exploration into the power of language—how words shape reality, influence perception, and reinforce or dismantle systems of power.

Together, Kwadwo and Seba Bonotchi Montgomery examine the often-unseen mechanisms embedded in language, drawing from Afrikan languages, philosophies, and ontological frameworks to reveal how words operate as carriers of meaning, intention, and emotional influence. This discussion challenges participants to critically examine how language has been used historically and contemporarily to define identity, control narratives, and shape collective consciousness.

About the Book

In The Ambiguous Nature of Words, Seba Bonotchi Montgomery explores how language functions as both a tool of liberation and manipulation. Rooted in ancient Afrikan wisdom, the book exposes how words encode power structures and subtly shape cognition and emotion.
