Download or read book The Luo People in South Sudan written by Kon K. Madut and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work draws from several interpretations and perceptions of Lou ethnic groups regarding their kinships, lineages, and the geocultural claims pertaining to their identity and sociocultural interactions among social groups and communities. It builds on the current literature and oral history to methodologically reaffirm kinships and establish ethnic lineages. Most contemporary Luo narratives come from Kenya and Uganda, in addition to those written by Western anthropologists and missionaries. None of these narratives have changed the content of the oral stories told by Luo groups and subgroups in Africa, especially those related to their lineages, ethnic affiliations, and their path of immigration from South Sudan to Tanzania, but have, instead, confirmed the history, stories, and mythology of the greater Luo groups in Africa. This book will serve to evoke intellectual curiosity among African social scientists, prompting them to conduct more research to further understanding of Luo ethnic groups’ ways of life and social interactions, as well as their contributions to the sociopolitical and economic development in the countries and regions they inhabit.

Book excerpt: The Luo are a unique being. Its history is akin to the Israelites and the Old testament, complete with miracles like those of Nengo Jamwa, the heroes like Lwanda Magere whose power was in his shadow, and Gor Mahia, among others. The Luo migration is traceable to Egypt, with some of the Pharaos believed to have had a luo origin. Later, the history is documented clearer from Sudan, from where they migrate to the rest of Eastern (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania), Central Africa (DRC and Togo) and Western Africa (Ghana and Nigeria). They found the Babito Dynasty, replacing the then unique only dynasty in Bunyoro Kitara. Mpunga Rukidi's twin brother later founds Baganda kingdom. The Luo are a culturally strong Nilotic people wo whom a home means a home and nothing less. Even though some of them have long left the right of passage of removal of six lower teeth, it still has a lot of cultural relevance. Other cultural practises described in this book include wife inheritance, choice of leadership, among others. It is a unique nation which has produced some of the most eloquesnt and einfluential leaders such as Barrack Obama and Raila Odinga, both from Kenya. other leaders of Luo Origin are the late Garang and Milton Obote. History has it that Ruoth of Alego ascended to the kingship throne after cheating hie elder brother, ogelo at a shaving ceremony marking the end of the mandatory 3 / 4 days of mourning of one of their parents. When Ogelo was already seated ready to be shaved as the eldest son, he was called by the women who seemingly were squabbling over something. As a responsible elder, Ogelo obliged. Unknown to him, his younger brother had a secret plan to dethrown him from the mantle of leadership. On coming back, Ogelo found Ruoth already being shaved. This got him angry, and he left in a huff, even migrating to south Nyanza. However, it is said that Ogelo, like the case of Cain and Abel, was promised that whereas Ruoth had taken the home mantle from him, his position as the eldest son was secure, for he would have bigger positions than those ever to be taken by Ruoth. It is this that the presidency of Barrack Obama as the president of the United states, notably the strongest country on earth, was foretold. That Obama became president is therefore not a surprise to the Luo. Yet this is just one of the miracles foretold by the foreseers; there are many more promises yet to be fulfilled up the sleeves of the Luo . So to the world, . Watch this space.

Download or read book The Gospel Sounds Like the Witch's Spell written by Kiyoshi Umeya and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 766 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel Sounds Like the Witch's Spell is a highly detailed ethnography about how the Jopadhola in eastern Uganda talk about, interpret and cope with death, illness and other misfortunes. The book presents a provocative discussion that critiques the idea of the revival of witchcraft in the neo-liberalised contemporary world, as represented by the 'modernity model of witchcraft', and attempts to formulate a 'spiderweb model' that connects witchcraft to contemporary society in a more complex manner. The book is a unique ethnography of the collective memory of indigenous knowledge and local historicity. The author moves the reader from curse to misfortune to fortune as he plots the notion of 'curse' as deeply embedded in the Adhola way of life. He weaves between culture, religion, state and modernity with lived experience. Did the concept of witchcraft unwittingly endear the Adhola to the Christian way of life because of the presence of the notion of 'curse' in the Bible or make them less susceptible to the vagaries of modernity compared to their neighbours? These are some of the questions that the author puts on the table in a deeply reflective manner. The phenomenon of witchcraft is given an intriguing angle that invites the reader to reexamine earlier anthropological writings on the subject among African peoples.

Download or read book The Columbia Anthology of Chinese Folk and Popular Literature written by Victor H. Mair and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Columbia Anthology of Chinese Folk and Popular Literature, two of the world's leading sinologists, Victor H. Mair and Mark Bender, capture the breadth of China's oral-based literary heritage. This collection presents works drawn from the large body of oral literature of many of China's recognized ethnic groups--including the Han, Yi, Miao, Tu, Daur, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Kazak--and the selections include a variety of genres. Chapters cover folk stories, songs, rituals, and drama, as well as epic traditions and professional storytelling, and feature both familiar and little-known texts, from the story of the woman warrior Hua Mulan to the love stories of urban storytellers in the Yangtze delta, the shaman rituals of the Manchu, and a trickster tale of the Daur people from the forests of the northeast. The Cannibal Grandmother of the Yi and other strange creatures and characters unsettle accepted notions of Chinese fable and literary form. Readers are introduced to antiphonal songs of the Zhuang and the Dong, who live among the fantastic limestone hills of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region; work and matchmaking songs of the mountain-dwelling She of Fujian province; and saltwater songs of the Cantonese-speaking boat people of Hong Kong. The editors feature the Mongolian epic poems of Geser Khan and Jangar; the sad tale of the Qeo family girl, from the Tu people of Gansu and Qinghai provinces; and local plays known as "rice sprouts" from Hebei province. These fascinating juxtapositions invite comparisons among cultures, styles, and genres, and expert translations preserve the individual character of each thrillingly imaginative work.
