Born in Chicago, Illinois, Edward C. Davis IV is a global maroon anthropologist and scholar of
Africa and it diaspora. From 2010 to 2018, Professor Davis taught Africana studies,
Anthropology, Social Sciences, French, and History at the only institution of higher learning in
the world named for the late Civil Rights leader El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X). As the
youngest Black tenured professor in Illinois, Davis served as Social Sciences Chairperson and
curriculum designer, whereby leaving a great impact on MXC-CCC.
Professor Davis has developed a unique grounded theory called Geolinguistic Praxis
(GPS) which became the blueprint for his company Uloño Geolinguistic Praxis
Services. Uloño means knowledge in Angolan Umbundu. Dr. Davis' GPS emerged as a theory
in his experiences living and working in Africa, Asia, Latin America, indigenous Northern
Quebec (Canada), and elsewhere. As the son of two Black American pharmacists, Dr. Davis
speaks over 13 languages, and questions science, math, technology, and truth in a most
unique set of ways, with life-saving implications.
Today, GPS allows Dr. Davis to evolve his own Maroon Epistemology (ME) as a descendant
of 1619 Angolan Maroons who freed themselves from colonial English Virginia as Saponi
Indians. Dr. Davis remains one of the only descendants of 1619 to return to Congo-Angola to
live and work with local officials in his African homeland. For 13 generations, Dr. Davis'
paternal grandmother's family, via her paternal grandmother, have lived as free Black Saponi
Indians, who descend from the Angolan king Dago Gonwelão, his son John Gowens, and his
free Virginia-born son Mahill Gowens. The Gowens left colonial Virginia around 1640. By
1840 many ended up settling between Illinois' Trail of Tears Hwy, Southern Indiana, and
Ohio, and Kentucky, while other Saponi Indians live from North Carolina to Canada. Dr. Davis
hopes to revitalize his Saponi heritage language, which could be healing for most of the
world, especially for America in these Covidien times.
