Download or read book Chioma and the Masquerade written by Kathy Adinma and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Chioma and the Masquerade is drawn from a typical Nigerian Igbo setting, where children gather under a tree on a moonlight night and are told beautiful stories laced with strong moral lessons. Parents, grandparents, or other adults find joy in storytelling, and the children look forward to these happy times. The stories are sometimes dramatized, and the excited voices of the children can be heard as they sang along with hearty clapping and dancing. This book teaches children the need to work hard and obey their parents. It also highlights the bad habit of telling lies and why good children should not lie. The rich culture of the new Yam Festival is shown. It is a time of thanksgiving to the good Lord for his great goodness, blessings, and mercies. It is a time of merriment with rich music and good food and exchange of visits between friends and families. The village square is the center of attraction, and people come from different parts of the villages to watch the dances, masquerades, local wrestling, and arts and crafts. The author wishes the children a happy reading and hope they will learn to be good, truthful, and obedient children.

Download or read book The Fourth Masquerade written by Yeibo, Ebi and published by Kraft Books. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the most important Nigerian poets who continue to write the nation in verse, Yeibo, in this fifth collection of poems, has strategically fashioned a kind of poetry that does not only derive its idiom from the prosody and folk tradition of the Izon of Nigeria, it equally advances the poet’s vision through form and structure. His recourse to folklore and reliance on oral materials in the image making process gives coherence and form to the poems. However, what distinguishes this collection from the previous ones is the question of the form through which he demonstrates an intense awareness of the Nigerian experience.

Book Synopsis The Gẹ̀lẹ̀dé Spectacle by : Babatunde Lawal
Download or read book The Gẹ̀lẹ̀dé Spectacle written by Babatunde Lawal and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable study explores the use of the visual and performing arts to promote nonviolence and social harmony in sub-Saharan Africa. It focuses on Gelede, a popular community festival of masquerade, dance, and song, held several times a year by the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria and the Republic of Benin. Babatunde Lawal, an art historian and African scholar who has taught in Nigeria, Brazil, and the United States, is himself a Yoruba and has taken an active part in Gelede. He writes from the perspective of an informed participant/observer of his own culture. Lawal bases his book on extensive field research--observations and interviews--conducted over more than two decades as well as on numerous published and unpublished scholarly sources. He casts significant new light on many previously obscure aspects of Gelede, and he demonstrates a useful methodological approach to the study of non-Western art. The book systematically covers the major aspects of the Gelede spectacle, presenting its cultural background and historical origins as preface to a vivid and detailed description of an actual performance. This is followed by a discussion of the iconography and aesthetics of costume, and an examination of the sculpted images on the masks. The book concludes with a discussion of the moral and aesthetic philosophy of Gelede and its responsiveness to technological and social change. The Gelede Spectacle is illustrated in color and black-and-white with over 100 field and museum photographs, including a rare sequence on the dressing of a masquerader. It offers, in addition, more than 60 Gelede song texts, proverbs, and divination verses, each in the original Yoruba as well as in translation. Lawal's interpretations of these pieces indicate the rich complexities of metaphor and analogy inherent in the Yoruba language and art.
