Book Synopsis New Perspectives on the Sierra Leone Krio by : Mac Dixon-Fyle
Download or read book New Perspectives on the Sierra Leone Krio written by Mac Dixon-Fyle and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ex-slave, Krio population of Freetown, Sierra Leone - an amalgam of ethnicities drawn from several parts of the African continent - is a fascinating study in hybridity, creolization, European cultural penetration, the retention of African cultural values, and the interface between New World returnees and autochthonous populations of West Africa. Although its Nigerian connections are often acknowledged, insufficient attention has been paid to the indigenous Sierra Leonean roots of this community. This anthology addresses this problem, while celebrating the complexities of Krio identity and Krio interaction with other ethnic groups and nationalities in the British colonial experience.

Book Synopsis Sierra Leone Krio by : Selase W. Williams
Download or read book Sierra Leone Krio written by Selase W. Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive, holistic, and systematic description and analysis of the language, culture, and traditions of the Sierra Leone Krio people. The authors bring significant new insights into the establishment of Krio society, a better understanding of the linguistic elements in the Krio language, and greater recognition, use, and role of oral traditions in the everyday lives of the people. The authors celebrate Krio creativity as reflected in their fashion, music, and poetry. Featured here are some previously unpublished Krio poems, as well as Jamaican Patois poems that have been translated for the first time in Krio and English. These latter poems reveal the similarities in the themes, social commentary, and African continuities witnessed across the diaspora. The authors provide concrete evidence that the underlying structure of Krio is based in languages belonging to the Kwa language family. Unique in their analysis of Krio language is the demonstration of substantive linguistic contributions from at least one indigenous local language, Temne, and opens up a whole new area for future research.
Book Synopsis Women and the Amistad Connection by : Filomina Chioma Steady
Download or read book Women and the Amistad Connection written by Filomina Chioma Steady and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and the Amistad Connection: Sierra Leone Krio Society is a welcome relief from reports of the ten-year rebel war in Sierra Leone and gives a glimpse of life in a part of Sierra Leone during its more customary periods of peace. It is an important and timely record of a people whose lives may have been changed forever. This rather unique group, the Krios of Sierra Leone is presented from a perspective in which women are central. It uses an indigenous model and allows the women to "speak for themselves" while refraining from imposing extemal theoretical and other explanatory models. The study examines the history and development of a pluri-cultural society representing African, European and New World influences which resulted from the repatriation to Freetown, Sierra Leone of freed slaves from different parts of the world. The role of women in maintaining the kinship and household structure; life cycle events and rituals are central to understanding this complex and dynamic society. The study deals with the history and current situation of women and their informal and formal associations including their world view. It argues that Krio society is both "sui generis" and "diasporic" because of its cultural links to both Africa and to the African Diaspora. It examines the elements that constitute a rather unique Krio cultural model representing its social organization, kinship, the family and household, life-cycle and special events. This pluri-cultural feature, it is argued, best explains the resilience of this group to many challenges over the years, including the recent challenge of a protracted and brutal rebel war. The book will be a valuable contribution to African studies,women's studies and anthropology because of its uniqueness. It is the first comprehensive and systematic study of the social organization and culture of this group from a perspective in which women are central. It also elaborates on many of the previous studies on the Krios previously referred to as "Creoles". It will augment the limited material available on women in the African Diaspora. No study of Africa, the African Diaspora or women in Africa would be complete without the important dimension that the study brings to the literature.
Book Synopsis The Temne of Sierra Leone by : Joseph J. Bangura
Download or read book The Temne of Sierra Leone written by Joseph J. Bangura and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the research and study of the formation of Sierra Leone focuses almost exclusively on the role of the so-called Creoles, or descendants of ex-slaves from Europe, North America, Jamaica, and Africa living in the colony. In this book, Joseph J. Bangura cuts through this typical narrative surrounding the making of the British colony, and instead offers a fresh look at the role of the often overlooked indigenous Temne-speakers. Bangura explores, however, the socio-economic formation, establishment, and evolution of Freetown, from the perspective of different Temne-speaking groups, including market women, religious figures, and community leaders and the complex relationships developed in the process. Examining key issues, such as the politics of belonging, African agency, and the creation of national identities, Bangura offers an account of Sierra Leone that sheds new perspectives on the social history of the colony.

Book Synopsis The Krio of West Africa by : Gibril R. Cole
Download or read book The Krio of West Africa written by Gibril R. Cole and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sierra Leone’s unique history, especially in the development and consolidation of British colonialism in West Africa, has made it an important site of historical investigation since the 1950s. Much of the scholarship produced in subsequent decades has focused on the “Krio,” descendants of freed slaves from the West Indies, North America, England, and other areas of West Africa, who settled Freetown, beginning in the late eighteenth century. Two foundational and enduring assumptions have characterized this historiography: the concepts of “Creole” and “Krio” are virtually interchangeable; and the community to which these terms apply was and is largely self-contained, Christian, and English in worldview. In a bold challenge to the long-standing historiography on Sierra Leone, Gibril Cole carefully disentangles “Krio” from “Creole,” revealing the diversity and permeability of a community that included many who, in fact, were not Christian. In Cole’s persuasive and engaging analysis, Muslim settlers take center stage as critical actors in the dynamic growth of Freetown’s Krio society. The Krio of West Africa represents the results of some of the first sustained historical research to be undertaken since the end of Sierra Leone’s brutal civil war. It speaks clearly and powerfully not only to those with an interest in the specific history of Sierra Leone, but to histories of Islam in West Africa, the British empire, the Black Atlantic, the Yoruban diaspora, and the slave trade and its aftermath.

Download or read book How de Body? written by Teun Voeten and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, acclaimed photojournalist Teun Voeten headed to Sierra Leone for what he thought would be a standard assignment on the child soldiers there. But the cease-fire ended just as he arrived, and the clash between the military junta and the West African peace-keeping troops forced him to hide in the bush from rebels who were intent on killing him. How de Body? ("how are you?" in Sierra Leone's Creole English) is a dramatic account of the conflict that has been raging in the country for nearly a decade-and how Voeten nearly became a casualty of it. Accessible and conversational, it's a look into the dangerous diamond trade that fuels the conflict, the legacy of war practices such as forced amputations, the tragic use of child soldiers, and more. The book is also a tribute to the people who never make the headlines: Eddy Smith, a BBC correspondent who eventually helps Voeten escape; Alfred Kanu, a school principal who risks his life to keep his students and teachers going amidst the bullets and raids; and Padre Victor, who runs a safe haven for ex-child soldiers; among others. Featuring Voeten's stunning black-and-white photos from his multiple trips to the conflict area, How de Body? is a crucial testament to a relatively unknown tragedy.
