This book was released on 1994 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the origins of the Tiv, their sociological set-up and culture, migrations and dispersals, and what the Tiv people have contributed to Nigeria. More specifically it outlines social and political cultures of the Tiv, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the era of Tor Agbande, the Chamba wars, and the great dispersals in the Benue plains. It analyses the era of British chiefs until 1950, the impacts of the missionaries, and the subsequent so-called eras of politics.

Download or read book The Tiv and Their Southern Neighbours 1890 1990 written by Emmanuel Chiahemba Ayangaor and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic, political and socio-cultural relations of the Tiv people of Benue State with their southern neighbours. In pre-colonial times, the Tiv, needing additional farm lands, began displacing their southern neighbours and settling on their farms. In retaliation, teams of Ogirinya headhunters targeted lone Tiv women and farmers. The Tiv's answer to this loss of life was to adopt Ogirinya themselves, and clandestine mutual headhunting then became a standing blood feud that escaped the notice of the colonial administration for years. During an official inquiry into the causes of the 1985 Tsar-Obudu War, both parties confessed that Ogirinya was the main cause of their inter-ethnic wars. Once the leaders of the neighbouring local government areas agreed to ban Ogirinya and to set up a joint monitoring committee, peace returned to the borderlands. In addition to the conflicts, Ayangaor also covers the intermarriages, friendships, pacts, and palm wine drinking orgies of these interdependent peoples. This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin.

Download or read book Biblical Hermeneutics of Liberation written by Gerald O. West and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Walshe analyses the role of the churches in South Africa from 1910 to the present time as they were challenged by the injustices generated by the government's racialism and apartheid policies. He describes their generally phlegmatic response over the years, both institutionally and at the level of the local congregation. During the early years of apartheid the English-speaking churches responded generally with rhetoric and not confrontation while the Dutch Reformed Church biblically justified the government's policies. It was only in the 1970s that some religious leaders and some church groups began to develop both a contextual liberation theology for South Africa and take an active part in the struggle for liberation. Walshe narrates the gap between official statements and the actions of church leaders and the general lack of response from people in the pews even in the 1990s. The book includes the events leading up to the 1994 elections and closes with some provocative questions about the role of the churches in the new South Africa.
