Book Synopsis THE STORIES AND STUDIES OF AFRICAN VALUES by : Dipo Toby Alakija
Download or read book THE STORIES AND STUDIES OF AFRICAN VALUES written by Dipo Toby Alakija and published by Calvary Rock Resource. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most African and other nations often build and develop economic, political and other structures at the expense of the Value Systems which are sometimes constructed by their National Anthems and The Pledge To The Nations. The neglect or shutting down of National Value Systems in these nations which arguably are the live wires that power other sectors within the societies give room for vices and crimes to be on the increase. This book is designed to be studied by parents, teachers and students in primary or junior and high schools in Africa with the objectives of imbibing African traditional and moral values into them. With particular focus on children and youths, through the use of stories; poems; proverbs; quotes and class activities, the author attempts to give vivid pictures of African Values as opposed to westernization which is clearly wiping out what the founding fathers of the nations on the continent stand for.

Book Synopsis AFRICAN VALUES AND LEGACIES by : Dipo Toby Alakija
Download or read book AFRICAN VALUES AND LEGACIES written by Dipo Toby Alakija and published by Calvary Rock Resource. This book was released on with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of research works reveal that any nation that fails to orientate all categories of its citizens on what the country stands for and against gives rooms for other countries to devalue the national value, violate the law and order; deforming the prevailing norms and cultures in all the communities. Most of African values, enriched with proverbs like “a goat is never pronounced innocent if the judge is a leopard” and “when brothers fight to death; a stranger inherits their father’s estate”, are getting eroded with westernization. The African heritages through the transfer of cultures, norms and order from one generation to another are threatened with extinctions since the time of colonization, particularly in oil-rich African nations. The shutting down of value systems which are usually designed to boost moral values of citizens and enhance the functions of political, social and economic machineries are responsible for civil wars, terrorism, genocides and other atrocities in most African nations. This book which is designed to be studied in African Tertiary Institutions shares the results of research works into the causes of conflicts, political and economic servitude in Africa; using the analyses of quotes of some of the notable leaders and African proverbs to reinforce the value systems on the continent.
Book Synopsis Africa's Soft Power by : Oluwaseun Tella
Download or read book Africa's Soft Power written by Oluwaseun Tella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the ways in which soft power is used by African countries to help drive global influence. Selecting four of the countries most associated with soft power across the continent, this book delves into the currencies of soft power across the region: from South Africa’s progressive constitution and expanding multinational corporations, to Nigeria’s Nollywood film industry and Technical Aid Corps (TAC) scheme, Kenya’s sport diplomacy, fashion and tourism industries, and finally Egypt’s Pan-Arabism and its reputation as the cradle of civilisation. The book asks how soft power is wielded by these countries and what constraints and contradictions they encounter. Understandings of soft power have typically been driven by Western scholars, but throughout this book, Oluwaseun Tella aims to Africanise our understanding of soft power, drawing on prominent African philosophies, including Nigeria’s Omolúwàbí, South Africa’s Ubuntu, Kenya’s Harambee, and Egypt’s Pharaonism. This book will be of interest to researchers from across political science, international relations, cultural studies, foreign policy and African Studies.

Book Synopsis African Literature by : Safoura Salami-Boukari
Download or read book African Literature written by Safoura Salami-Boukari and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we resolve the insider/outsider interpreting conundrum? Why do readers from different parts of the world read, interpret, or understand foreign literatures the way they do? What drives peculiar critical reactions, canon formations and such issues which determine the survival of cultural productions or their continued adoption as useful bolsters for a people's self-definition or indeed self-preservation and self-determination? African Literature: Gender Discourse, Religious Values, and the African Worldview offers a series of fresh insights into most of the old "problematics" which used to sustain the interpretations of African literature, especially by women. Students, scholars, and general readers wishing to consider issues of gender in relation to African cultural and socioeconomic systems and what Salami-Boukari interrogates and names as an "African worldview," will find the interdisciplinary discussion of historical analyses, literary criticism and gender discourses a useful method for engaging contemporary African perspectives.

Book Synopsis African Philosophy and Thought Systems by : Mawere, Munyaradzi
Download or read book African Philosophy and Thought Systems written by Mawere, Munyaradzi and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The once acrimonious debate on the existence of African philosophy has come of age, yet the need to cultivate a culture of belonging is more demanding now than ever before in many African societies. The gargantuan indelible energised chicanery waves of neo-colonialism and globalisation and their sweeping effect on Africa demand more concerted action and solutions than cul-de-sac discourses and magical realism. It is in view of this realisation that this book was born. This is a vital text for understanding contextual historical trends in the development of African philosophic ideas on the continent and how Africans could possibly navigate the turbulent catadromous waters, tangled webs and chasms of destruction, and chagrin of struggles that have engrossed Africa since the dawn of slavery and colonial projects on the continent. The book aims to generate more insights and influence national, continental, and global debates in the field of philosophy. It is accessible and handy to a wider range of readers, ranging from educators and students of African philosophy, anthropology, African studies, cultural studies, and all those concerned with the further development of African philosophy and thought systems on the African continent.

Book Synopsis Social Im/mobilities in Africa by : Joël Noret
Download or read book Social Im/mobilities in Africa written by Joël Noret and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in both theory and ethnography, this volume insists on taking social positionality seriously when accounting for Africa’s current age of polarizing wealth. To this end, the book advocates a multidimensional view of African societies, in which social positions consist of a variety of intersecting social powers - or ‘capitals’ – including wealth, education, social relationships, religion, ethnicity, and others. Accordingly, the notion of social im/mobilities emphasizes the complexities of current changes, taking us beyond the prism of a one-dimensional social ladder, for social moves cannot always be apprehended through the binaries of ‘gains’ and ‘losses’.

Book Synopsis ECHOES OF ANCIENT AFRICAN VALUES by : Joseph A. Bailey, II, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Download or read book ECHOES OF ANCIENT AFRICAN VALUES written by Joseph A. Bailey, II, M.D., F.A.C.S. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-07-18 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Africans, perhaps around 5500 BC, established a tradition based upon truth, goodness, beauty, and other immaterial and intangible aspects of things of worth. Believing all of God’s creations were forever linked, they focused on having good relations with and behaviors toward fellow human beings and with nature – both for the purpose of reaching a heaven afterlife. Out of these concepts arose the sense of community, including the practice of no person being left behind. Echoes of Ancient African Values discusses who Ancient Africans were as a people; their genius and creative ways of thinking; their philosophical and spiritual foundations; and their world shaping achievements. Unfortunately, peoples throughout the world have failed to realize or acknowledge the fact that Ancient Africans have produced the most brilliance civilization and culture the world has ever known. This applies whether the measure is by significance, greatness, or numbers. The fashioning of such brilliance inside high morals not only transcended space and time but also designed sublime echoes. A major premise of this book is that these echoes were extremely instrumental in enabling Ancient African slaves to survive their hellish situation as well as having ongoingly contributed to the recovery of Black Americans from the effects of slavery. Numerous examples are given. Otherwise, what is stressed to all peoples in the world is that Ancient African Values contain workable answers for solving every type of problem concerning humanity.
