Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nigeria hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) in 1977, it celebrated a global vision of black nationhood and citizenship animated by the exuberance of its recent oil boom. Andrew Apter's The Pan-African Nation tells the full story of this cultural extravaganza, from Nigeria's spectacular rebirth as a rapidly developing petro-state to its dramatic demise when the boom went bust. According to Apter, FESTAC expanded the horizons of blackness in Nigeria to mirror the global circuits of its economy. By showcasing masks, dances, images, and souvenirs from its many diverse ethnic groups, Nigeria forged a new national culture. In the grandeur of this oil-fed confidence, the nation subsumed all black and African cultures within its empire of cultural signs and erased its colonial legacies from collective memory. As the oil economy collapsed, however, cultural signs became unstable, contributing to rampant violence and dissimulation. The Pan-African Nation unpacks FESTAC as a historically situated mirror of production in Nigeria. More broadly, it points towards a critique of the political economy of the sign in postcolonial Africa.

Download or read book Adimu Orisa Play - Origin of the Eyo Festival written by Virginia I Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-13 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eyo is the most important traditional festival of Lagos State and has been held by Lagos Island indigenes for a few hundred years. Although social changes have evolved over the times, adjustments have been made to adapt the festival of masquerades to fit in with the modern era. Culture cannot remain static and must move with the times. Despite being rooted in tradition, the Eyo festival has witnessed slight changes as it has now become a full-blown carnival, full of pomp, pageantry, and gaiety, with splendid and theatrical displays of colourful costumes, regalia, music, acrobatic displays, and dancing. This is a more elaborate display and a far cry from the past events that took place centuries ago. The Adimu Orisa Play is now categorised as a tourist attraction in Lagos, Nigeria.

Download or read book Ceremonies and Festivals written by Goretti Zoma and published by Dissertation.com. This book was released on 2003 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to western influence and advancement in technology and education, many aspects of authentic African culture are fast fading away. Some of the practices have changed over time and gradually loosing many of their initial elements. The tradition had been transmitted over time through oral tradition, but in modern times, oral tradition cannot be relied upon for a culture to be preserved for future generations. This reference book documents three main rites that are practiced by the Uvwie-Urhobo tribe in Nigeria. They include the rites of marriage, burial and chieftaincy. The what, why, how, and where questions regarding these rites are fully explained. The book also describes two main annual festivals celebrated by this group of people. The significance of each of the festival is noted. A description of the rite of female circumcision is included in this book, although it is thankfully no longer practiced. Unfortunately, it was a widely practiced tradition in Uvwie-Urhobo until the early1990s, when it was rightfully banned by the Nigerian Government. The chapter on female circumcision is included to record an unfortunate and painful tradition that once existed. There is a glossary of Uvwie-Urhobo terms used in the book. The glossary is followed by a brief information piece about Nigeria. It includes such topics as location, climate, economy, Government, etc.
