Book excerpt: The series African Sorceress is set in the 1600s in what is now Ghana. In volume 1, A Warrior is Forged, the heroine, Kisa, grows up in a village hidden in the forest from the slave traders who were ravaging the countryside for victims. After the slavers find the village for the first time, the old village sorceress, Grandmother, trains Kisa to fight them with the help of magic and sorcery. After the second raid, when Kisa’s beloved father is taken, Grandmother enlists Kisa with the help of the Black Samurai, who returns from Japan to train Kisa to be a warrior. When the slavers return for the third time, Kisa and the villagers are ready, and the war against the slave masters begins. What if there was a great African sorceress who tried to save her people from the slave traders? How would we know from conventional history, which teaches only a white- and male-centered views of history? Africa does have a history and quite an amazing one. And what if women were not always suppressed? And what if their powers were of the earth, water, wind, and fire and not just witch doctor hokum? This book is historical fiction.

Download or read book African Sorceress written by M.E. Skeel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Sorceress: War on the Sahel, is one woman’s fight against the evil Atlantic slave trade. It is based on an oral tradition story the author heard in Africa. It takes place in the 1600s in what is now Ghana. The heroine is Kisa, who we first meet in African Sorceress: A Warrior is Forged. Her village is raided by slave traders who sell their captives to the Dutch slave masters in the infamous Elmina slave castle. Kisa trains to be a sorceress and a warrior and lead her people to victory against the slavers. In War on the Sahel, Kisa and her lover Kojo take the war beyond their village. They infiltrate the slave castle, lead a mutiny on a slave ship, take a Portuguese trading fort and build an army to fight the African slave traders who are supplying the Europeans. The action is fast-paced, the story is credible, exciting and imaginative and it’s a great way to learn a largely untold history. The story is heroic fantasy but wrapped within the fantasy are the facts of 17th century Africa and the damage the slave trade caused to the proud independent peoples represented in Kisa’s Army. We meet the tribes that make up her army of freed captives, representing many distinct cultures, languages, customs and spiritual traditions. These oral traditions were just as deep, rich and complex as those of cultures with written languages. What reviewers said about African Sorceress: A Warrior is Forged - “Skeel has done a fantastic job taking on such a huge and largely hidden topic.” - “A really original story, unlike anything I've read before. A lot of research must have gone into this book to weave so many threads of history, anthropology, and geography into the tale. Read it for fun or read it to learn about a part of history most of us have never heard of -- either way you'll enjoy it.” - “Skeel immerses you into the world of the Atlantic slave trade from a perspective that is rarely--if ever--told. Skeel masterfully balances being as informative as any historian while being as entertaining as the best storytellers”
Book Synopsis Sorcery, Totem, and Jihad in African Philosophy by : Christopher Wise
Download or read book Sorcery, Totem, and Jihad in African Philosophy written by Christopher Wise and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this significant new work in African Philosophy, Christopher Wise explores deconstruction's historical indebtedness to Egypto-African civilization and its relevance in Islamicate Africa today. He does so by comparing deconstructive and African thought on the spoken utterance, nothingness, conjuration, the oath or vow, occult sorcery, blood election, violence, circumcision, totemic inscription practices, animal metamorphosis and sacrifice, the Abrahamic, fratricide, and jihad. Situated against the backdrop of the Ansar Dine's recent jihad in Northern Mali, Sorcery, Totem and Jihad in African Philosophy examines the root causes of the conflict and offers insight into the Sahel's ancient, complex, and vibrant civilization. This book also demonstrates the relevance of deconstructive thought in the African setting, especially the writing of the Franco-Algerian philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Book Synopsis Why Witches Are Still Flying in Africa? by : Mfundo Badela
Download or read book Why Witches Are Still Flying in Africa? written by Mfundo Badela and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main point is to highlight witchcraft belief murders as the silent crime against humanity, and it is part and parcel of African traditional religion and the Abrahamic religions. As long as the abovementioned myths still survive, so will be the witchcraft myth, because it obtains its legitimacy from the abovementioned. Today, the world is held at ransom by unproven and false ancient ideas. Humanity has forsaken reason and science for the frivolous claims of the so-called holy text and African ancestral spirits. As a consequence, innocent beings are being slaughtered by witch hunters and the so-called terrorists, and still we are defending the indefensible and deny the obvious. The media in South Africa have joined this diabolic movement by advertising witchcraft antidote and miracles in problem solving. The state is unable to solve this because they negate the root cause, which is religion. All beliefs should be put to the museum of history. After all, they are all nonexistent magic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I will always be with you in spirit, but now I must follow my heart. When the war against the slave masters has been won, I will return to you. Look for me wherever the winds of freedom blow!' The old magic was no defense against the new weapons, the cannons of the white invaders. The sorceress had to find new ways to fight the slavers and it wouldn't be easy. Far to the south, a Queen was also fighting for freedom. It was time to join forces. Fighting for the Ngola is the third book in the award-winning African Sorceress Series. What readers said about African Sorceress 'A unique combination of fantasy and actual history! Few of us know anything about African culture or the infamous slave trade, and this book brings it alive.' 'Authentic history with a believable female protagonist.' 'Extremely entertaining, well written and enthralling story... sure to become a classic!' 'Skeel masterfully balances being as informative as any historian while being as entertaining as the best storytellers.' .'I can see Africa when I read this book. I can see these people. I loved Kisa. She is strong, she is intelligent, she loves her people. She is all woman and she is all warrior. She is one of the best heroines I have read in the last five years.'

Book Synopsis Africa after Modernism by : Michael Janis
Download or read book Africa after Modernism written by Michael Janis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa after Modernism traces shifts in perspectives on African culture, arts, and philosophy from the conflict with European modernist interventions in the climate of colonialist aggression to present identitarian positions in the climate of globalism, multiculturalism, and mass media. By focusing on what may be called deconstructive moments in twentieth-century Africanist thought – on intellectual landmarks, revolutionary ideas, crises of consciousness, literary and philosophical debates – this study looks at African modernity and modernism from critical postcolonial perspectives. An effort to sketch contemporary frameworks of global intersubjective relations reflecting African cultures and concerns must resist taking modernism as a term of African periodization, or master-narrative, but as a constellation of discursive and subjective forms that obtains upon the present moment in African literature, philosophy, and cultural history. Africa after Modernism argues for a philosophical consciousness and pan-African multiculturalist ethos that operate, after the deconstruction of Eurocentrism, beyond self/other paradigms of exoticism or West/Africa political ideologies, in dialogue with postcolonial approaches to cultural reciprocity.

Download or read book African Magic written by Heidi Holland and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa's traditional beliefs - including ancestor worship, divination and witchcraft - continue to dominate its spiritual influences. Readers in search of a better understanding of the continent will be enriched by this book's timely exploration of sub-Saharan Africa's natural philosophy. The author's meticulous research reveals that, whereas technology-driven Western societies prefer to rely largely on logical explanations, many Africans continue to obey their intuition - trusting in images, dreams and divination to rationalise misfortune and illness. African Magic explains why so many Africans understand the relationship between people and unfortunate events not through the Western concept of chance in the case of accidents, or germ theory in the case of illness, but through belief in witchcraft. The book records a collection of true stories which illustrate this traditional belief system. Included are the famous Malawian diviner whose prophecies were considered so accurate that people flocked from neighbouring countries to consult him; a group of Western-trained Mozambican psychologists who successfully refined cross-cultural therapy by working with traditional healers to combat post-traumatic stress syndrome among child soldiers; Ghanaian and Zimbabwean 'witches' living in a nightmare world where popular belief becomes their reality; and a Zambian archbishop whose attempt to embrace traditional African beliefs provoked serious conflict within his Christian church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya in its golden age, the safest, sexiest and most wildly popular playground in Africa. Westerners flock there. There is just one problem: Westerners have also been dying there. Now and then, here and there, one or two, in the most bizarre and chilling ways. While Kenya's top investigators triangulate theories, word on the street has had the mystery figured out all along: a witch is at work, there could be no other explanation. It's "orogi," the darkest kind of ancient magical harm. No one wants to mess with this woman. The Nairobi tabloids have dubbed her Mama Mamba (Crocodile Woman). Her real name is Beatrice Wakeawa, an aged, half-crippled veteran jungle fighter and Mau Mau spy, a master of disguise and dialect, who has never given up the struggle, never quenched her thirst for justice. Drought, disease, poverty, starvation, all the ills that plague her beloved blue-hilled land go back to the grieving ghosts of ancestors and innocent dead who have yet to be fully avenged. Two American sisters have come to Kenya for different reasons. Crossing paths with Mama Mamba was never part of their plans.
