Download or read book Drinking from the Cosmic Gourd written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions colonial and apartheid ideologies on being human and being African, ideologies that continue to shape how research is conceptualised, taught and practiced in universities across Africa. Africans immersed in popular traditions of meaning-making are denied the right, by those who police the borders of knowledge, to think and represent their realities in accordance with the civilisations and universes they know best. Often, the ways of life they cherish are labelled and dismissed too eagerly as traditional knowledge by some of the very African intellectual elite they look to for protection. The book makes a case for sidestepped traditions of knowledge. It draws attention to Africas possibilities, prospects and emergent capacities for being and becoming in tune with its creativity and imagination. It speaks to the nimble-footed flexible-minded frontier African at the crossroads and junctions of encounters, facilitating creative conversations and challenging regressive logics of exclusionary identities. The book uses Amos Tutuolas stories to question dualistic assumptions about reality and scholarship, and to call for conviviality, interconnections and interdependence between competing knowledge traditions in Africa.

Download or read book The Shattered Gourd written by Okediji and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shattered Gourd uses the lens of visual art to examine connections between the United States and the Yoruba region of western Nigeria. In Yoruba legend, the sacred Calabash of Being contained the Water of Life; when the gourd was shattered, its fragments were scattered over the ground, death invaded the world, and imperfection crept into human affairs. In more modern times, the shattered gourd has symbolized the warfare and enslavement that culminated in the black diasporas. The "re-membering" of the gourd is represented by the survival of people of African origin all over the Americas, and, in this volume, by their rediscovery of African art forms on the diaspora soil of the United States. Twentieth-century African American artists employing Yoruba images in their work have gone from protest art to the exploration and celebration of the self and the community. But because the social, economic, and political context of African art forms differs markedly from that of American culture, critical contradictions between form and meaning often appear in African American works that use African forms. In this book -- the first to treat Yoruba forms while transcending the conventional emphasis on them as folk art, focusing instead on the high art tradition -- Moyo Okediji uses nearly four dozen works to illustrate a broad thematic treatment combined with a detailed approach to individual African and African American artists. Incorporating works by such artists as Meta Warrick Fuller, Hale Woodruff, Aaron Douglas, Elizabeth Catlett, Ademola Olugebefola, Paul Keene, Jeff Donaldson, Howardena Pindell, Muneer Bahauddeen, Michelle Turner, Michael Harris, Winnie Owens-Hart, and John Biggers, the author invites the reader to envision what he describes as "the immense possibilities of the future, as the twenty-first century embraces the twentieth in a primal dance of the diasporas," a future that heralds the advent of the global as a distinct movement in art, beyond postmodernism.

Download or read book Whippoorwills at Dusk along Gourd Neck Road written by Gary Mitchell and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Mitchell was reared in rural South Alabama, and the memories that he captured in this book are some of the fondest that he recalls during that special time when life seemed so much simpler. Family has always been central in his constellation of influences. “Whippoorwills at Dusk along Gourd Neck Road” is a collection of stories recounted by some of his most significant, influential family members, as well as some of his own experiences during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. The book also contains a brief description and history during his early years of the small community in which he spent most of his life. Fullers Crossroads is a small community just north of Luverne, the seat of government for Crenshaw County, Alabama. This community and the small dirt lane, Gourd Neck Road, which is located within the community, is the focus for the majority of the stories recounted in the book. These stories were recorded to prevent them from dying at the passing of the author’s generation. It is hoped that the reading of this book will allow the reader to experience similar recollections from their own past so that they, too, will share those precious memories to the current generation.

Download or read book The Ghost of Tradition written by Kevin Walzer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expansive poetry uses rhyme, meter, and narrative to make a poetic point; unlike much of 20th-century American poetry, which relies heavily on free verse and experimentation for poetic style and impact. Walzer, an associate editor at Cincinnati Poetry Review, believes that Expansive poets and their return to traditional forms have not been given their due in the current literary culture. He attempts to rectify this with a scholarly and detailed discourse on the movement's history and importance as well as some of its poets. Walzer's perspective is favorable but also fair. His critical study is needed if for no other reason than that it offers an informed opinion that opposes prevailing views. It should be noted that this work requires more than a technical appreciation of poetry?it demands an abiding love of its mysticism. --Library Journal.
