Book Synopsis Voice of the Leopard by : Ivor L. Miller
Download or read book Voice of the Leopard written by Ivor L. Miller and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-01-06 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Voice of the Leopard: African Secret Societies and Cuba, Ivor L. Miller shows how African migrants and their political fraternities played a formative role in the history of Cuba. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, no large kingdoms controlled Nigeria and Cameroon's multilingual Cross River basin. Instead, each settlement had its own lodge of the initiation society called Ékpè, or “leopard,” which was the highest indigenous authority. Ékpè lodges ruled local communities while also managing regional and long-distance trade. Cross River Africans, enslaved and forcibly brought to colonial Cuba, reorganized their Ékpè clubs covertly in Havana and Matanzas into a mutual-aid society called Abakuá, which became foundational to Cuba's urban life and music. Miller's extensive fieldwork in Cuba and West Africa documents ritual languages and practices that survived the Middle Passage and evolved into a unifying charter for transplanted slaves and their successors. To gain deeper understanding of the material, Miller underwent Ékpè initiation rites in Nigeria after ten years' collaboration with Abakuá initiates in Cuba and the United States. He argues that Cuban music, art, and even politics rely on complexities of these African-inspired codes of conduct and leadership. Voice of the Leopard is an unprecedented tracing of an African title-society to its Caribbean incarnation, which has deeply influenced Cuba's creative energy and popular consciousness.

Book Synopsis The Sacred Language of the Abakuá by : Lydia Cabrera
Download or read book The Sacred Language of the Abakuá written by Lydia Cabrera and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, Lydia Cabrera (1899–1991) published La lengua sagrada de los Ñáñigos, an Abakuá phrasebook that is to this day the largest work available on any African diaspora community in the Americas. In the early 1800s in Cuba, enslaved Africans from the Cross River region of southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon created Abakuá societies for protection and mutual aid. Abakuá rites reenact mythic legends of the institution’s history in Africa, using dance, chants, drumming, symbolic writing, herbs, domestic animals, and masked performers to represent African ancestors. Criminalized and scorned in the colonial era, Abakuá members were at the same time contributing to the creation of a unique Cuban culture, including rumba music, now considered a national treasure. Translated for the first time into English, Cabrera’s lexicon documents phrases vital to the creation of a specific African-derived identity in Cuba and presents the first “insider’s” view of this African heritage. This text presents thoroughly researched commentaries that link hundreds of entries to the context of mythic rites, skilled ritual performance, and the influence of Abakuá in Cuban society and popular music. Generously illustrated with photographs and drawings, the volume includes a new introduction to Cabrera’s writing as well as appendices that situate this important work in Cuba’s history. With the help of living Abakuá specialists in Cuba and the US, Ivor L. Miller and P. González Gómes-Cásseres have translated Cabrera’s Spanish into English for the first time while keeping her meanings and cultivated style intact, opening this seminal work to new audiences and propelling its legacy in African diaspora studies.

Book Synopsis Apprendre le kongo (le monokutuba, le kikongo ya leta, le kituba) by : John Stedman
Download or read book Apprendre le kongo (le monokutuba, le kikongo ya leta, le kituba) written by John Stedman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le kongo est une des grandes langues véhiculaires parlées en Afrique centrale. Le monokutuba, le kikongo dit de l'état, le kituba: ce sont trois variantes d'une seule et même langue que certains spécialistes appellent le kongo. Ce dictionnaire grammatical contient des explications détaillées qui montrent et les ressemblances et les différences entre les trois dialectes. Cet ouvrage - à la fois dictionnaire et grammaire, et le tout premier en son genre - est le fruit de plus de vingt ans passés dans les deux Congo ainsi qu'avec la diaspora congolaise en Europe. Le kongo est plutôt une appellation académique et linguistique. Ceux qui parlent la langue l'appellent eux-mêmes le monokutuba, le kikongo, dit de l'état, le kituba, ou le kikongo tout court; toutefois il ne faut pas confondre le kongo et le kikongo proprement dit. L'aire du kongo s'étend de Pointe Noire à l'ouest jusque dans la partie est de l'ancienne province du Bandundu en RDC, soit une distance de plus de mille kilomètres. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que des différences se sont créées entre les variantes de la langue parlées aux deux extrêmes de cette vaste superficie, d'autant plus qu'une île linguistique - celle du lingala de Kinshasa - se situe au milieu. Les trois grands pôles de la langue, avec la désignation que ses locuteurs donnent eux-mêmes à la langue qu'ils parlent, sont: Kikwit - où l'on parle kikongo, tout court, bien que les locuteurs du vrai kikongo l'appellent souvent le monokutuba, terme péjoratif qui veut dire moi parler, avec le sous-entendu qu'il s'agit d'un créole. Ce n'est pas tout à fait faux, d'ailleurs, comme nous l'avons déjà expliqué; mais toutes les grandes linguae francae sont en quelque sorte des créoles, des versions simplifiées d'une ancêtre plus complexe. On peut citer le français, qui a perdu les déclinaisons du latin, ou le grec koïné, langue dans laquelle le Nouveau Testament a été écrite, qui s'est beaucoup simplifié par rapport au grec classique. Matadi - où les gens désignent leur parler le kikongo de l'état . Le kikongo de l'état a été fortement influencé par le lingala et le kiyombe. Pointe Noire, où la variante est appelée le kituba. Cette langue se parle dans toute la partie ouest de la République du Congo, ainsi que dans une partie de la capitale, Brazzaville. Le kituba a subi l'influence du lari.
