Download or read book The Western Echo written by George W. Romspert and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the object of the author; by this volume; to place before the people a brief history of the western states and territories through which he traveled in a late long overland tour; together with a sketch of the customs and occupations of the people in all the parts described. A journey by wagon through so much territory; by so many unknown; has furnished the author with knowledge that will be of so much value to persons who think of going West; and more especially to those who intend trying their fortunes in the regions of the setting sun; that he feels himself somewhat in duty bound to reduce it to print. Many fabulous and speculative histories have been written of the same country; and; with prejudiced pens; they have been deceitful records.

Book Synopsis In My Time of Dying by : John Parker
Download or read book In My Time of Dying written by John Parker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at how mortuary cultures and issues of death and the dead in Africa have developed over four centuries In My Time of Dying is the first detailed history of death and the dead in Africa south of the Sahara. Focusing on a region that is now present-day Ghana, John Parker explores mortuary cultures and the relationship between the living and the dead over a four-hundred-year period spanning the seventeenth to twentieth centuries. Parker considers many questions from the African historical perspective, including why people die and where they go after death, how the dead are buried and mourned to ensure they continue to work for the benefit of the living, and how perceptions and experiences of death and the ends of life have changed over time. From exuberant funeral celebrations encountered by seventeenth-century observers to the brilliantly conceived designer coffins of the late twentieth century, Parker shows that the peoples of Ghana have developed one of the world’s most vibrant cultures of death. He explores the unfolding background of that culture through a diverse range of issues, such as the symbolic power of mortal remains and the dominion of hallowed ancestors, as well as the problem of bad deaths, vile bodies, and vengeful ghosts. Parker reconstructs a vast timeline of death and the dead, from the era of the slave trade to the coming of Christianity and colonial rule to the rise of the modern postcolonial nation. With an array of written and oral sources, In My Time of Dying richly adds to an understanding of how the dead continue to weigh on the shoulders of the living.
Book Synopsis Marita: or the Folly of Love by : Stephanie Newell
Download or read book Marita: or the Folly of Love written by Stephanie Newell and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 20th January 1886, the first installment of what is probably the first West African novel in English was published in a Ghanaian newspaper, the Western Echo, by a male author using the pseudonym ‘A. Native’. Preceded by a proud editorial which welcomed the arrival of this ‘work of “local effort”’ by ‘a native gentleman’, Marita: or the Folly of Love was serialised in 40 episodes, ending two years later in January 1888. It describes the disastrous consequences for African men of uniting according to the colonial Marriage Ordinance of 1884: this ordinance enshrined the Christian, Victorian ideal of marriage as a monogamous and lifelong union, and is shown in the story to transform peaceful, well-behaved women into shrews and termagants who are bent upon seizing domestic power from their husbands. The story proved to be so popular and relevant that it survived the closure of the Western Echo in December 1887 and found a new host in the Gold Coast Echo, before disappearing from the press, unfinished, in February 1888.
