Kush/Cush and Cush*tic: Language, History, Race, and Religion offers a multifaceted examination of the term “Kush/Cush” and its related concepts, drawing from historical, linguistic, and cultural perspectives. In the realm of historical linguistics, “Cush*tic” is employed to describe a hypothetical language family within the Afroasiatic phylum. This term may also be used to refer to the people who speak these languages. However, there is often confusion between this academic usage and the ancient kingdom of Kush, which is frequently referred to Nubia in historical works. The confusion extends to the usage of the same term in Biblical texts. The book delves into the history of the Kingdom of Kush, the Biblical usage of Kush/Cush, and the so-called Cush*tic languages, offering a nuanced discussion of these intertwined topics.
