Download or read book Women in Igbo Life and Thought written by Joseph Therese Agbasiere and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A member of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria who became a nun and trained as an anthropologist, Joseph Therese Agbasiere had a unique opportunity to transcend some of the preconceptions and subjectivities inevitable when an 'outsider' studies a native society. Her richly detailed ethnography examines kinship practices, marriage customs, and women's responsibilities in the house and the community, establishing the tremendous influence that Igbo women wield in public affairs. Igbo ideas about the universe, the person and spiritual considerations are also discussed and shown to be primarily centred around women. This fascinating work is a testament to the combination of personal insight and academic detachment which the author brought to her study of Igbo women before her death in 1998. It will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in anthropology, African studies and women's studies.

These four-letter words, IGBO, were/are still the channel whereby humankind replicated/s the Lord God's creation from generation to generation after He created Adam, the first human. The words IGBODOANYA/to persevere, IGBOSHIKWO/to prevent, IGBOCHIDONKECHINYEREGỊ/to protect what god gave you, and IGBOKWABA/to preserve are the primary builders as well as facilitators of the gametes""sex cells when fertilization happens in the fallopian tubes during the formation of humankind. The word Igbo is the representation of an indelible precepts of God's constitution as it relates to the creation of humankind. The four-letter words, Igbo, is the seal, legacy, and continuity of the actions of the spoken words that originated from Chinekengịrị (Chinekengịrị means the God that creates DNA) or in the popular short form, Chineke. Chukwu (Chukwu means Chiukwu), The great God. Chukwu is the short version of Chiukwu. Chiukwu or Chukwu Okike Abraham. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people always call upon Chukwu Okike Abịama (Abịama means Abraham). Abraham is Abaraham in Igbo. (Abaraham means named after me). Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abịama means the Almighty God and Creator of Abraham and/or God, the Creator. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people bụ Ndị Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew). Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people are Ụmụ Chineke/Ụmụ Chukwu Okike Abịama/Ụmụ God, and/or Ụmụ Yahweh. The Igbo people are the special skilled builders of Ụmụ Chineke or Ụmụ Chukwu Okike Abịama, the Lord Almighty God. Adam was the only human the Lord God created on earth.

Therefore, there should be no such concept as the black race, white race, and/or human slavery. The purpose of the documentation is not to blame the colonial team who coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria, or praise the victims from the southern protectorates who had been dehumanized since 1914. The purpose of the documentation is to bring to the attention of the oppressors and encourage them to stop annihilating Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people indirectly. The oppressors need to develop the sense of oneness with the oppressed, according to Chineke, Chukwu Okike Abịama's plan when he created Adam. The Lord Almighty God did not create Nigeria. The British""educated female journalist and the colonial team coined out "the N-word" slave country named Nigeria in February 1914. The indigenous people were not invited to participate in naming their country. The colonial team unilaterally had already carved out the African continent among themselves in Berlin at the conference that commenced in November 1884 and ended on the 26th of February 1885. The colonial team deliberately destroyed the empires and kingdoms that flourished in the giant African continent. This documentation shall help oppressors eradicate the idea of black race/white race and slavery. This documentation shall help oppressors step aside and allow the indigenous people all over the African continent to revive/restore their empires and kingdoms. The oppressors should cease and desist from supporting and supplying weapons to the nonindigenous herdsmen who exterminate the indigenous citizens of Nigeria. The colonial team crushed the indigenes of the southern protectorate in 1914 and enslaved them to date. The oppressed need to break the shackle of slavery and revive/restore their suppressed empires and kingdoms. Ndị Igbo/the Igbo people bụ Ndị Hebrew (the Igbos are the Hebrew) are not Slaves.

Download or read book Adventures of Ojemba written by Chukwuma J. Obiagwu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of Ojemba is the story of the Igbo people. In contrast to many historical narratives, Dr. Chukwuma J. Obiagwu chooses to avoid dwelling on any particular issue in history and it's effect on the Igbo people. Rather, he provides the readers with a general overview of their culture, traditions, habits, and general life. Tracing the historical context and their beginnings, this book addresses major events faced by these people. It is inevitable that basic questions such as "who are the Igbo people?" provoke a plethora of theories, explanations, and questions. This study provides clear insight on what distinguishes the Igbo people from other neighboring peoples. It is a supplement to Dr. Elizabeth Isichie's history text, The History of Igbo People, and compliments this text by providing more probable answers to the origins of these people. Dr. Obiagwu's main theory proposes that the Igbo people are descendant of the black Jewish population. A common view of historians throughout time, Obiagwu thoroughly develops this argument through his assessment of the aspects of the Igbo people's lives.

Download or read book The Image of the Black in African and Asian Art written by David Bindman and published by Belknap Press. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Image of the Black in African and Asian Art asks how the black figure was depicted by artists from the non-Western world. Beginning with ancient Egyptâe"positioned properly as part of African historyâe"this volume focuses on the figure of the black as rendered by artists from Africa, East Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The aesthetic traditions illustrated here are as diverse as the political and social histories of these regions. From Igbo Mbari sculptures to modern photography from Mali, from Indian miniatures to Japanese prints, African and Asian artists portrayed the black body in ways distinct from the European tradition, even as they engaged with Western art through the colonial encounter and the forces of globalization. This volume complements the vision of art patrons Dominique and Jean de Menil who, during the 1960s, founded an image archive to collect the ways that people of African descent have been represented in Western art from the ancient world to modern times. A halfâe century later, Harvard University Press and the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research completed the historic publication of The Image of the Black in Western Artâe"ten books in totalâe"beginning with Egyptian antiquities and concluding with images that span the twentieth century. The Image of the Black in African and Asian Art reinvigorates the de Menil familyâe(tm)s original mission and reorients the study of the black body with a new focus on Africa and Asia.

Download or read book Igbo Culture written by Reuben Eneze and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author presented his book Igbo Culture in a most convincing way by quoting expert opinions on most of the issues he discussed in the book. Through his carefully researched work and detailed analysis of facts, he showed in the book that Igbo youths working hard like their ancestors can reform Igboland into a new and better civilization by sifting the good aspects of Igbo culture into today's way of life. He started his book by making a brief reference to the possible migration route of Igbo ancestors from their earliest settlements in the forest region of Central Africa to their present-day settlement in Southeastern Nigeria of West Africa. He also made a brief reference to the development of the Igbo civilization through the period covering the Stone Age and Iron Age civilizations (pages 114). He painted a clear picture of the cultural background of the community where he was born and brought up and lived in for more than sixty years before he traveled to the United States of America. He traced the more than twenty-six generations-deep lineages, beliefs, concepts, customs, and history of Ihe Shikeaguma in Ntuegbe clan of Enugu State in Southeastern Nigeria as a sample core Igbo culture community. He also delved into the historical links and social formation of this community, with emphasis on genealogy, religion, settlement, language, government, law enforcement, defense, seasons, festivals, and residential structures (pages 1583). He took his readers to Igbo thought on God, self, family, human life, birth, death, spirit, human mind, and reincarnation (pages 85113). He clearly documented the cultural products of Igbo thought, which can be seen in the formulation of Igbo institutions with special reference to marriage, the extended family system, the social status structure and title system, festivals, informal education, traditional law, community service, religion, divination, and health-care services (pages 114202). He explained that the symbolism of various articles and some spoken words in Igbo culture are products of Igbo thought. He referred to ofo stick, kola nut, alligator pepper, spears, tribal face marks, body paint, white chalk, and the young palm frond as symbols or instruments of Igbo philosophical expressions and concepts (pages 203214). He showed how Igbo culture and philosophy have been affected by the cultures of Igbo neighbors in Nigeria and by other foreign cultures with special references to the following: (a) Ugwuele civilization (a Stone Age culture)1,000,000 BC500,000 BC (b) Nri civilization (a ritualized kingship system)AD 800AD 1700 (c) Aro civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 1850 (d) Border civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 800AD1900 (e) External civilization (slave trade and colonial era)AD 1700AD 2000 (pages 215238) The author concluded his work by making an evaluation of Igbo culture. He carefully examined the oriented values of the Igbo and highlighted those areas of Igbo culture that should be refurbished and reinfused into Igbo life by the Igbo themselves in order to transform Igboland into a big theater of modern civilization (pages 239246).

Download or read book Things Fall Apart written by Chinua Achebe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.
