Formed by a group of educated Africans, African-Americans, and West Indians based in Harlem and shaped by the ideals of Ethiopianism, communism, Pan-Africanism, Black Nationalism, Garveyism, and the New Negro Movement, the UESA sought to educate the diaspora about its glorious African past and advocate for anti-imperialism and independence. This book focuses on the UESA’s literary organ, The African, mapping a constellation of understudied activists and their contributions to the fight for Black liberation in the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis The Yoruba Country. by : Adeyinka Shoyemi
Download or read book The Yoruba Country. written by Adeyinka Shoyemi and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of Yoruba pride is tangible in everyday conversation, on the doorstep, and in the growing social media. Musicians and writers are exploring Yoruba issue more explicitly than has been the case for years. Politicians who have long expressed us as 'Nigerians first' no longer feel quite so eccentric. More happily, others have made Yoruba national pride a source of joy. What is interesting is not that Yoruba identity has risen but why? We all carry identities and loyalties to communities, ethnicities, teams, nations, or communities around the world. But it is only at certain times that we find one identity a powerful way of describing ourselves and our collective interests. It is at these times people turn to old identities and refresh them so they serve us in our modern world. National identities usually strengthen when people feel hard done-by. Today's Yoruba identity reflects a growing sense that Yoruba people lack a real voice on the things that matter to them, as demand for the Yoruba nation by Yoruba people shows clearly. Worse, they feel they are losing out and being treated less fairly in a multiethnic country. The perception that unitary system unfairly favours the Fulani and Ibo people is only part of the picture. North (or rather, Northerners) are thought to have more say than we do with the ways and manners past military Heads of State from the North have structured the system with more states, local governments, senators and House of Representative members. It is no surprise that strongest expressions of Yoruba nationalism are in those working class states where profound economic change has compounded by the impact of large-scale migration. Yoruba identity is rising in reaction to a real sense of powerlessness, insecurity and unfair political structure in a rapidly changing world. But our modern Yoruba identity is far from settled. For some, it is ethnic: an Oduduwa community with an imagined 2,000 years of common history. Many others are at ease with an inclusive Yoruba nationalism. Most seem comfortable with both their Yoruba and their Nigerian identities, a fact Yoruba-PDP members should not lightly set aside, for that is their meal tickets. We cannot however, spend our time doing studies of Yorubaness while others are out there making it. For us, developing and celebrating a national identity is an active exercise. We don't find our true identity in ever-deeper historical research, but want to make it ourselves. We should draw on radical traditions, but we must blend them with the histories of everyone who wants to feel Yoruba, and who recognises that a common identity is best developed through shared experience. The political response to the new Yoruba nationalism is a debate that has hardly begun. It is no coincidence that the Yoruba-APC talks openly about devolution of power, fiscal federalism, resource control, state police, regional regimental armed forces and the Oduduwa Republic - which have nothing to say about the future Yorubaland and its people should enjoy, nor about Yorubaland's place within the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but which might just favour the Yoruba-APC that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu leads. When disease attacks our bodies, the pain we suffer at first is our bodies' work in repairing the balance. If the balance is not restored, we are either maimed or we die. So it is with society. When we by our actions disturb the equilibrium, forces come into play to restore it - forces which pay no regard to human life. If they go bad, society dies; and the worst and most terrible of these correctives are revolution and war. We totally know that justice is better than oppression, freedom than slavery, and wealth than deprivation. We all recognize that our greatest pride is in something well done. We would infinitely prefer to enjoy this better state. Our difficulty is to see how to enjoy it - and live. It is the task of the Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF) to point the way.

Book Synopsis Pawnship In Africa by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Pawnship In Africa written by Toyin Falola and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1994-06-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pawnship, a legal category of social and economic dependency, has been largely neglected in the historiography of Africa. Yet the labor of pawns - freeborn women, men and children indentured in payment of interest on a debt - was an important supplement to that of slaves in the precolonial and colonial eras and a substitute for slave labor in the twentieth century. This book examines the origins of pawnship; the economic factors that contributed to its spread; the ideological and institutional framework that supported pawnship; its organization; the experience of pawns; the role of class, gender, and age; changes under colonial rule; and the decline and extinction of pawnship.
Book Synopsis The Homosexuality Debate in Malawi by : Hamburu Mawerenga
Download or read book The Homosexuality Debate in Malawi written by Hamburu Mawerenga and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality is a cross-cutting challenge to Malawian society with theological, socio-cultural, economic, legal, political, and human rights implications. This book argues that the solution to the homosexuality debate in Malawi does not lie in either the criminalization or decriminalization of homosexuality; neither does it lie in homophobia nor heterophobia. However, the solution to the homosexuality debate lies in achieving a harmonious co-existence of both heterosexuals and homosexuals by practicing mutual tolerance. The book concludes by suggesting various activities to be taken by: The Government of Malawi; Gay Rights Activists; Religious Leaders; Traditional Leaders; and Malawian Society to ensure the aforementioned tolerance and understanding is encouraged.
Book Synopsis Pawnship, Slavery, and Colonialism in Africa by : Paul E. Lovejoy

This book was released on 2003 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the age-old institution of African debt bondage, in which people are held as collateral in lieu of debts that have been incurred, these twenty essays look at the various effects of this practice on such issues as kinship, gender and the international slave trade. Continuing well into the 1930s because of the economic demands enforced by European colonial rule, pawnship and slavery in the event of default on a loan has had a particularly detrimental effect on women and children, demonstrating the links between credit, servility and gender in large parts of Africa.
Book Synopsis Yoruba Traditions and African American Religious Nationalism by : Tracey E. Hucks
Download or read book Yoruba Traditions and African American Religious Nationalism written by Tracey E. Hucks and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the Yoruba tradition in the United States, Hucks begins with the story of Nana Oseijeman Adefunmi’s personal search for identity and meaning as a young man in Detroit in the 1930s and 1940s. She traces his development as an artist, religious leader, and founder of several African-influenced religio-cultural projects in Harlem and later in the South. Adefunmi was part of a generation of young migrants attracted to the bohemian lifestyle of New York City and the black nationalist fervor of Harlem. Cofounding Shango Temple in 1959, Yoruba Temple in 1960, and Oyotunji African Village in 1970, Adefunmi and other African Americans in that period renamed themselves “Yorubas” and engaged in the task of transforming Cuban Santer'a into a new religious expression that satisfied their racial and nationalist leanings and eventually helped to place African Americans on a global religious schema alongside other Yoruba practitioners in Africa and the diaspora. Alongside the story of Adefunmi, Hucks weaves historical and sociological analyses of the relationship between black cultural nationalism and reinterpretations of the meaning of Africa from within the African American community.
Book Synopsis A Retrospective of Yoruba Indigenous Games and Plays by : Afeez Tope Raji
Download or read book A Retrospective of Yoruba Indigenous Games and Plays written by Afeez Tope Raji and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2019 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , course: Cultural Hisory, language: English, abstract: The debate on games and plays as universal phenomena is now irrelevant. Every climes of the world is known with its specifics. Yorubaland is no exception to this. The Yoruba engages in ìjàkadì, ayò ọlọ́pọ́n, òkìtì títa , búúrú, bojú-bojú, bọ́ọ́kọ-bọ́ọ̀kọ, párá-onídèmodè, sansalùbọ́, gbádìí-gbádìí, tẹ̀ẹ̀tẹ́ and others. It is however regrettable that the Yoruba Indigenous Games and Plays (IGPs) has given way to the foreign ones – notably, Western model as badminton, athletics, chess, football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, table tennis and others – which continues to addict them. This has been blamed on global exchange of culture for which the Yoruba had been at the receiving side. Using the descriptive and analytical modes of historical interpretation, the findings of this study validated that the Yoruba have distinctive games and plays which firmly connects with their cultural needs and environmental circumstances. The paper concludes that Yoruba IGPs should not be relegated especially with the current economic recession; it could be another source of income generation to the nation. Moreover, it can serve as a veritable unidentified weapon for combating crime. Therefore, it should be revisited and reviewed to world standard.

Book Synopsis The Nuwaubian Nation by : Susan Palmer
Download or read book The Nuwaubian Nation written by Susan Palmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nuwaubian Nation takes the reader on a journey into an African-American spiritual movement. The United Nuwaubian Nation has changed shape since its inceptions in the 1970s, transforming from a Black Hebrew mystery school into a Muslim utopian community in Brooklyn, N.Y.; from an Egyptian theme park into an Amerindian reserve in rural Georgia. This book follows the extraordinary career of Dwight York, who in his teens started out in a New York street gang, but converted to Islam in prison. Emerging as a Black messiah, York proceeded to break the Paleman’s spell of Kingu and to guide his people through a series of racial/religious identities that demanded dramatic changes in costume, gender roles and lifestyle. Dr. York’s Blackosophy is analyzed as a new expression of that ancient mystical worldview, Gnosticism. Referring to theories in the sociology of deviance and media studies, the author tracks the escalating hostilities against the group that climaxed in a Waco-style FBI raid on the Nuwaubian compound in 2002. In the ensuing legal process we witness Dr. York’s dramatic reversals of fortune; he is now serving a 135-year sentence as his Black Panther lawyer prepares to take his case to the Supreme Court. This book presents fresh and important insights into racialist spirituality and the social control of unconventional religions in America.
Book Synopsis Themes, Issues and Problems in African Philosophy by : Isaac E. Ukpokolo
Download or read book Themes, Issues and Problems in African Philosophy written by Isaac E. Ukpokolo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the key to a deepened discourse on philosophy in Africa. Available literature and academic practice in African philosophy since the 1960s have largely featured discourses in the areas of origin, general meaning and nature of the discipline, with little attention given to specialized areas. By contrast, this book examines a noticeable shifting focus from such general concerns to more specific subject-matter, in such areas as epistemology, moral philosophy, metaphysics, aesthetics, and social and political philosophy in the light of the African experience. The volume includes specific discourses from expert contributors on the nature, history and scope of African ethics and metaphysics, while also discussing particular themes in African epistemology, philosophy of education, existentialism and political philosophy. Researchers seeking for new perspective on African philosophy will find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.
