Download or read book Tribes of Africa written by Diana Prince and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several African tribes today and their respective cultures, which have evolved over centuries. It presents an intriguing look at the beliefs and practices that have shaped their world from earliest times. This book also addresses the challenges, both historical and current, which have had a serious impact on their lives. Genetic tests suggest that members of the San Tribe, also known as the Bushmen Tribe, are the closest living descendants of the first man on earth. Africa's rich legacy was also the subject of research by anthropologists Mary and Louis Leakey. They believed that the skeletal remains they unearthed at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania's Great Rift Valley in 1959 belonged to ancestors of the earliest human beings. There is a variety and richness in the tribal cultures of Africa. Rarely is a culture able to hold on to the cherished past while dealing with a chaotic modern world. The tribes in this book are motivated by their pure roots and a respect for the ancient ways that define them.

Download or read book Boy Wives and Female Husbands written by Stephen O. Murray and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many myths created about Africa, the claim that homosexuality and gender diversity are absent or incidental is one of the oldest and most enduring. Historians, anthropologists, and many contemporary Africans alike have denied or overlooked African same-sex patterns or claimed that such patterns were introduced by Europeans or Arabs. In fact, same-sex love and nonbinary genders were and are widespread in Africa. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands documents the presence of this diversity in some fifty societies in every region of the continent south of the Sahara. Essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines explore institutionalized marriages between women, same-sex relations between men and boys in colonial work settings, mixed gender roles in east and west Africa, and the emergence of LGBTQ activism in South Africa, which became the first nation in the world to constitutionally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also included are oral histories, folklore, and translations of early ethnographic reports by German and French observers. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands was the first serious study of same-sex sexuality and gender diversity in Africa, and this edition includes a new foreword by Marc Epprecht that underscores the significance of the book for a new generation of African scholars, as well as reflections on the book's genesis by the late Stephen O. Murray. This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to the generous support of the Murray Hong Family Trust.

Download or read book Remember Who You Are written by David Lloyd and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-29 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Remember Who You Are" is the profound awakening of African-American intellectuals as a collective African tribe. The message centers on African-Americans taking pride in their many cultural and political achievements as arguably "the most influential culture the world has ever seen". The author, originally from Africa, expounds on the extraordinary culture, appropriately labeling African Americans as "The Greatest African Tribe" based off their African ancestral roots and astonishing accomplishments in spite of numerous racial challenges. It presents a forward thinking hundred year vision, advocating for economic freedom rooted in support of black owned businesses in the United States and Africa. It stresses that the respect of African descendants all around the world is directly linked to economics and African continental perception. It campaigns for "absolute respect" achieved through self-love and economic empowerment as being the only true remedy for racial suffering.
