Download or read book Osuru written by Claudia Onyido and published by Onyido Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am the beast that roams the night, and the terror that turns the day. I am the source of tortured souls and the creation of a thousand cries. I am Nri's sin.” For 300 years, demonic spirits in human form have plagued the Kingdom of Nri. During the day, they are neighbours; they are villagers and friends. And at night, they are Osuru, evil spirits of Ekwensu who wake the innocent at night and lure them into the wilderness with a single, hypnotic call. Priestess Anyanwu was once the most troublesome ogbanje ever known. A malevolent spirit who died young and kept coming back until finally, after her seventeenth birth, the goddess freed her from bondage. Grateful for her life being spared, Anyanwu joined the priestesshood of Ala where she, along with several other priestesses, guard over the n’dissi, a wall of magic created to keep the Osuru out. One day, Priestess Anyanwu leaves her shrine to find a commotion in the city square. A man’s life is on the line, and it is up to her to decide whether he will live or die. Little did Anyanwu know that her choice would affect the life of the person closest to her. It would rip her away from the comfortable life she created for herself and send her on a journey of discovery that would reveal Nri’s secrets and bring her closer to the Osuru than ever before.
Download or read book Sage Philosophy written by Henry Odera Oruka and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sage Philosophy is an anthology of three main parts: Part one contains papers by Odera Oruka clearing the way and arguing about his research over the last decade on indigenous sages in Kenya. Part Two introduces verbatim interviews with a given number of those sages, while Part Three consists of published papers by scholars who are critics or commentators on the Oruka project. The author has spent the last decade in Kenya carrying out his research. It is the general stand of the book that the sages turn out to be thinkers or philosophers in no trivial sense, despite their lack of modern formal education. This study is a critique for all those scholars who hitherto have found no practice of critical philosophy in traditional Africa.
Download or read book Kings of Disaster written by Simon Simonse and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the rainmakers of the Nilotic Sudan means a breakthrough in anthropological thinking on African political systems. Taking his inspiration from Rene Girard's theory of consensual scapegoating the author shows that the long standing distinction of states and stateless societies as two fundamentally different political types does not hold. Centralized and segmentary systems only differ in the relative emphasis put on the victimary role of the king as compared with that of enemy victims. Kings of Disaster so proposes an uninvolved solution to the vexed problem of regicide. Recent cases occurring during the great drought of the mid-1980's are discribed and analyzed. Making simultaneous use of first-hand field data and archival sources, the book offers the first presentation of five Nilotic communities on the East Bank of the Nile. This study offers a new perspective on the role of violence in the structuring of society.

Download or read book The Dwarfs of Mount Atlas written by Robert Grant Haliburton and published by . This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Grant Haliburton spent his last years proposing the existence of a distinctive tribal group of small stature within the Atlas Mountains and vicinity. He collected local stories and eyewitness accounts of this "dwarf people," debated critics, and published theories. These curious tales disappeared (or at least were never investigated fully) after Haliburton died, but he left an anthropological legacy that serves as a cautionary tale (or perhaps a starting point for future investigation).

Download or read book Philosophy in an African Place written by Bruce B. Janz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, there has been much effort put forth by philosophers to answer the question, "Is there an African philosophy?" Bruce B. Janz boldly changes this central question to "What is it to do philosophy in this (African) place?" in Philosophy in an African Place. Janz argues that African philosophy has spent a lot of time trying to define what African philosophy is, and in doing so has ironically been unable to properly conceptualize African lived experience. He goes on to claim that such conceptualization can only occur when the central question is changed from the spatial to a new, platial one. Philosophy in an African Place both opens up new questions within the field, and also establishes "philosophy-in-place", a mode of philosophy which begins from the places in which concepts have currency and shows how a truly creative philosophy can emerge from focusing on questioning, listening, and attending to difference. This innovative new approach to African philosophy will be useful not only to African and African-American philosophers, but also to scholars interested in any cultural, intercultural, or national philosophical projects.
