Download or read book Scholarship and Commitment written by Omoko, Peter E. and published by Malthouse Press. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Darah turned seventy on Wednesday November 22, 2017 and to celebrate his very productive career, his colleagues and many of those he has mentored thought it appropriate to mark his official exit from the university in a dignified way by commissioning for publication, in the now acceptable festschrift tradition, the highly compelling and outstanding collection of essays titled: Scholarship and Commitment: Essays in Honour of G.G. Darah. The book is a ground-breaking collection of essays; some are couched as tributes to the ebullient celebrant, there are others on more serious discourses in the areas of literary theories and criticism, language and linguistics, popular literature and politics, the African woman, identity and contemporary realities, oral literature, the news media and cultural studies. The essays, on their own, attest to the vivacity and liveliness as well as the encouraging state of health of publishing in the Nigerian academia, which in this collection alone, parades forty-two essays in different fields or discourses.

Download or read book Majestic Revolt written by Omoko, Peter and published by Malthouse Press. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1927, the British colonial government introduced a “head” tax to the former Warri Province. On July 1927, the people of the Province revolted against the imposition of the tax. The decision for the mass uprising was taken at a Joint Congress of all the ethnic groups - the Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw and, Isoko, and Ukwuani - held at Igbudu Quarters of Warri township. The introduction of “head” tax by the British colonial oppressors, represented by Major Walker, Deputy Inspector-General of Police in the Province, turned out to be an incendiary fuse, and conflagration followed. How would one pay tax on one’s God-given head? The 1927 Anti-Tax Movement in Warri Province spread across the River Niger to Owerri Province in 1929 where women led the revolt in what is generally known as “Aba Women Riot” in colonial records. When studied against the backdrop of contemporary Nigeria/Niger Delta politics, the 1927 revolt was a landmark in the “resource control” struggle of the oppressed, marginalized, and exploited people of the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Download or read book Reading Faithfully Volume One written by Hans W Frei and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Frei (1922-1988) was perhaps the leading Anselmian theologian of his generation.

Reading Faithfully, which is the first of two volumes, is a special collection that includes a wide range of his letters, lectures, book reviews and other items, many of them not previously available in print. Analytical and perceptive, Frei's writings expands his arguments about the meaning and truth of scriptural narrative, distinguishing his ideas from other forms of narrative or story theology as well as exploring the kinds of political theology consistent with his typological imagination. Alongside Volume II, this is an invaluable resource that provides new insights into the nature and implications of Frei's work. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the development of religious thought and understanding.

Download or read book In Search of Authenticity written by Jacob Golomb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Sartre have clearly been preoccupied by the possibility of authenticity. In this study, Jacob Golomb looks closely at the literature and writings of these philosophers in his analysis of their ethics. Golomb's writings shows his passionate commitment to the quest for the authenticity - particularly in our climate of post-modern scepticism. He argues that existentialism is all the more pertinent and relevant today when set against the general disillusionment which characterises the late twentieth century. This book is invaluable reading for those who have been fascinated by figures like Camus's Meursault, Sartre's Matthieu and Nietzsche's Zarathustra.

Download or read book Joke Performance in Africa written by Ignatius Chukwumah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jokes have always been part of African culture, but never have they been so blended with the strains and gains of the contemporary African world as today. Joke-Performance in Africa describes and analyses the diverse aesthetics, forms, and media of jokes and their performance and shows how African jokes embody the anxieties of the time and space in which they are enacted. The book considers the pervasive phenomenon of jokes and their performance across Africa in such forms as local jests, street jokes, cartoons, mchongoano, ewhe-eje, stand-up comedy, internet sex jokes, and ‘comicast’ transmitted via modern technology media such as the TV, CDs, DVDs, the internet platforms of YouTube, Facebook, and other social arenas, as well as live performances. Countries represented are Egypt, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Nigeria, and Zambia, covering the North, West, East and Southern Africa. The book explores the description of the joke form from various perspectives, ranging from critical discourse analysis, interviews, humour theories, psychoanalysis, the postcolony and technauriture, to the interactive dramaturgy of joke-performances, irrespective of media and modes of performance. Containing insightful contributions from leading African scholars, the book acquaints readers with detailed descriptions of the diverse aesthetics of contemporary African jokes, thereby contributing to the current understanding of joke-performance in Africa. It will appeal to students and scholars of African studies, popular culture, theatre, performance studies and literary studies.

Download or read book Empress Of Revolt written by Neema G.W. and published by GoWriters Media. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Africa, amidst the lush landscapes of the Mijikenda, rises a tale of unprecedented valor. "EMPRESS OF REVOLT" unravels the stirring saga of Me-Katilili wa Menza, a woman whose spirit could not be tamed by chains or colonial decrees. This meticulously researched narrative brings to life the fiery leader who mobilized her people against the encroaching shadows of oppression and slavery. Through vivid imagery and captivating storytelling, Neema G.W. transports readers to a time of turmoil, resilience, and triumph. A journey into the past to meet a true heroine whose battle cry echoes through the ages. Me-Katilili, a female freedom fighter and a Mijikenda leader, emerged as a key figure in African history through her resistance against slavery and colonialism in Kenya. An embodiment of empowerment in the revolts, particularly the "Giriama Uprising," she actively protected Mijikenda culture, religion, and heritage. In a world rich with the echoes of history and vibrant heritage, Neema G.W emerges as a unique voice, weaving the past with the present and tradition with modern insight. Born in Kenya and later honed by medical disciplines in Germany, Neema stands at the nexus of neurology, psychiatry, and profound storytelling. Her journey - from an avid young reader, finding solace in book reading and writing short stories amidst the tumults of adolescence, to declaring her future authorship within the sterile environment of medical school - reflects a steadfast dream undiminished by any barrier. Neema's writing is deeply rooted in her Mijikenda heritage, drawing inspiration from the resilient figure of Me-Katilili wa Menza, to shine a light on historical narratives long overshadowed. Her pilgrimage to Kenya, immersing herself in the wisdom of elders, marked the beginning of a renewed storytelling endeavor - imbuing her narratives with the soul of Mijikenda culture - influenced by luminaries such as John Grisham and Maya Angelou, her literary work nonetheless centers on the enriching tales of Me-Katilili, blending personal lineage with broader human experiences. Her ambition extends beyond storytelling; it is a mission to encapsulate the rich tableau of African legends and fables, safeguarding these tales for posterity. Neema invites readers on a captivating journey through the landscapes of imagination and the essence of cultural heritage. She offers a retreat from the rapid pace of modern life, encouraging a dive into the depth of stories that have not only shaped her vision but also poised to inspire exploration and discovery in others. Join Neema in traversing the realms of thought and the rich heritage of the Mijikenda, where the vibrancy of African stories awaits to unfold.

Download or read book Herding South written by Omoko, Peter E. and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Herding South, Peter Omoko spotlights the dispossessed and dystopian fate of minority groups in Nigeria, and the fractured social equilibrium that pervades the land, with its polarising and destructive effect on the people’s psyche. Writing essentially as a troubled witness, the poet navigates through the horrifying pains and trauma of a people, instigated by the ineptitude and narrow-mindedness of their leadership. Omoko’s intention in this collection – to speak home-truth to power in order to reclaim the people’s humanity – is well delineated in the sardonic and emotive metaphors used in the poetry and the rhetorical force of its lines.
