Download or read book The Isoko Ethnic Nationality written by Endurance O. Edafewotu and published by DENJOS. This book was released on 2019-11-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, The Isoko Ethnic Nationality: In Time Perspective, is a concerted effort at interrogating the history and cultural practices of the mega Isoko clans with a concomitant foray into a concise discussion of the mini groups outside the main shores of Isoko. The approach of the author is novel and commendable. The author availed himself with existing literatures and interpreted same within the limit of new sources. The strong point of this work is the effort of the author in trying to weave the history of the Isoko people from the perspective of being one as epitomized by their intra-group relations. The view is that the Isoko were/are not a disparate ethnic nationality. The language of the author is acceptable and the font reader-friendly. The book is also illustrated with photographs. The book is recommended for scholars, administrators and all those truly committed to understanding who we are, where we are coming from, where we are, and what the future holds for us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the nature, philosophies and genres of indigenous African popular music, focusing on how indigenous African popular music artistes are seen as prophets and philosophers, and how indigenous African popular music depicts the world. Indigenous African popular music has long been under-appreciated in communication scholarship. However, understanding the nature and philosophies of indigenous African popular music reveals an untapped diversity which only be unraveled by knowledge of the myriad cultural backgrounds from which its genres originate. Indigenous African popular musicians have become repositories of indigenous cultural traditions and cosmologies.With a particular focus on scholarship from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa, this volume explores the work of these pioneering artists and their protégés who are resiliently sustaining, recreating and popularising indigenous popular music in their respective African communities, and at the same time propagating the communal views about African philosophies and the temporal and spiritual worlds in which they exist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Oral Literature: Its Philosophical Thoughts Conveyed in Yuruba Society explores the ways that the Yoruba people of Nigeria have made remarkable contributions to the world’s civilization. Yoruba philosophical, religious tenets, artistic tenets, ideas, and icons have helped to transform religious beliefs and practices and the arts. When considering the study of Yoruba oral traditions, one learns how its philosophical concepts are the bases for an interpretation of what constitutes their aesthetic performance in art forms. This book introduces distinguished Yoruba cultural historians documenting the full spectrum, which extends beyond the visual art form. Through oral tradition, the effigy with its ako naturalism is not judged for its photographic realism, but for its efficacy within the context of the ako traditional ceremony, which is intended to make the end of this life and the beginning of the next one honorable and dignifying for one's parents where good will is needed by those still on earth.
