School of Dark Divine Arts offers high-end editing services. These texts below serve as examples, drawn from research proposals and articles authored by myself.

Example 1. (Research Proposal)

“My thesis details the changes that took place in the laws and ethics of Kongo tribal peoples, after medieval Portugal first landed on the shores of the Kongolese Kingdom. I bring into view the sexual depravity of the clerical powers and principalities who had transformed Kongolese women and girls into whores when they trafficked and sold them at the mouth of the Congo River.”

Example 2. (Research Proposal)

“Presently, I am preoccupied with developing the conceptual grounds necessary to articulate a theory of knowledge which is born out of African custom. My scholarship is oriented towards a critique of Christianity as a materially and discursively colonizing force which has impinged on African customs.”

Example 3. (Research Proposal)

“I focus on the politics of decolonization in contemporary Africa, specializing in particular on the ways in which colonial Christianity has colonized African ancestral customs. My interests begin with an exploration of the role that missionaries have played in the economy of human and sex trafficking in twentieth century colonial Africa.”

Example 4. (Article)

“It uses a folkloric melody and reading modality to reconstruct a dark colonial history, by pulling out the metaphoric meanings of double-entendre in ordinary words and playful language. ‘Anansesem’ are stories which are seemingly untrue, silly and humorous, but actually have metaphoric, metonymic and synecdochic messages about human violation and betrayal.”

Example 5. (Article)

“We had stepped into the arena of collaboration ready, but in reality, unprepared to do the work. We did not recognize that much of the work of decolonizing one’s mind, body and soul, should have actually already taken place before we had entered the arena attempting to work collaboratively in an international context which required the formation of cross-cultural bonds.”

Example 6. (Research Proposal)

“My scholarly writing in African studies so far has concentrated on troubling the argumentation which periodizes the postcolonial as rupturing the early modern. I offer a revision of this timeline by illuminating the sordid circumstances which came after the Transatlantic commerce in slaves, and led into modernity to eschew the peace that was necessary for captives to lay claim to freedom.”

Example 7. (Article)

“This article critiques the ways of ‘looking’ at Congo which are rooted in coloniality and which continue to subjugate the voices of Congolese people who value themselves rightly and speak from that position. Yet if we, in the banality of our lives are implicated in this, and may also be guilty of stealing ideas for capitalist reward, what then should be the vision of transformation?”

Example 8. (Cover Letter)

“In joining my artistic, activist and scholarly powers, I have co-curated a wondrous program which offers a fresh take on the cultures in the interstices of the Afro-Atlantic. I have also published poetry, written articles, a tabloid for a gallery, as well as essays on Contemporary African Art and Contemporary Black Art.”

Example 9. (Article)

“This article argues for a different approach that focuses on the agencies of the dead and describes the movement as a conversation with the dead. Through the use of what I call an ancestral-folkloric reading, in the study of Central African healing movements, the movement can be read as a reaction to the ancestral realm.”

Example 10. (Article)

“These blacks included the veteran soldiers of the Force Publique, workers employed in industry and mining, and the natives living in “Christian villages.” De Jonghe clarified and legitimized their status as a new intermediary category. The extra-customary regime would regulate their chieftaincies as well as their settlements and camps, which were to be built near state posts and missions for surveillance. In doing so the colonial government would be better able to regulate problems of “physical and moral hygiene” such as “disorder,” the presence of “undesirables,” prostitution and low birth rates.

Example 11. (Cover Letter)

“I am pleased to write this letter as a feminist interdisciplinary scholar with an academic maturity gained from finalizing a celebrated oeuvre about the catastrophes which were invited by Christian imperial soldiers on stolen land.”
