Download or read book Emancipating Cultural Pluralism written by Cris E. Toffolo and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining detailed case studies with discussions of deeper theoretical controversies, Emancipating Cultural Pluralism investigates both the benign and harmful aspects of identity politics. This provocative collection delves into some of the most difficult issues of cultural pluralism, such as what accounts for the immense power of identity politics, whether identity politics can be inherently good or evil, whether states are the right institutions to deal with ethnic conflict, the prevention of genocide, the value of devolving power to the local level, and more. The contributions are united by the conviction that more attention needs to be paid to the normative issues associated with various expressions of cultural pluralism, for the ethical implications of the phenomena are too profound to be ignored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing as entertaining as reliving some forlorn events. This account is of some events that a young man thought he had lost, but in fact, they are alive in retrospect, in his psyche, and his personality. For him to be able to bring back this vivid recreation of the past and to make it alive are the handiwork of a gifted craftsman with great imagination and a vivid sense of history and emotional balance. Anyone who had witnessed the Nigerian Civil War at the Asaba/Illah axis would really feel this genuine rehearsal of the events as if they happened just a few days ago. Festival and Civil War: The Agony of a Seven Year Old is a book of legacy.

Download or read book Highlife Music in West Africa written by Sonny Oti and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlife Music in West Africa is an excursion into the origins and development of an extraordinary music form. Highlife music is essentially an urban music, but unlike dance music performed using Western musical instruments, its dynamism is based less in the aesthetics of form and style than in song-texts. Critics treat highlife as a popular music genre, but this fails to acknowledge the role that the lyrics of highlife music played in the search for political, economic, and national growth and stability in Africa. Highlife musicians' messages, like drama and theater scripts, not only reflect Africa's culture but also highlight her social, economic, and political problems. The involvement of radicals and Pan-Africanists has helped elevate highlife musicians from the status of entertainers to a more serious and responsible one, as modern African town criers, whose song-texts are communal messages, warnings, and counseling.
