Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades interest in travel has developed significantly. Critical engagement with imperialism, postcolonialism, diasporas, ethnography and cultural anthropology has led to increasingly sophisticated readings of the travel writing genre and a growing acknowledgement of itscomplex history. Postcolonial Eyes is the first study of its kind to identify a specifically Sub-Saharan African lineage within the broader tradition of travel writing. As well as exploring the reasons for Africans' exclusion from the genre, the book examines the important relationship betweenethnicity and travel and identifies the concerns and preoccupations that define African writers' approaches to travel.

It is both a gateway to deeper exploration and a penetrating resource on its own.

Editors Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama include nearly 500 entries that seek to rediscover the original beauty and majesty of African religion. Features · Offers the best representation to date of the African response to the sacred · Helps readers grasp the enormity of Africa′s contribution to religious ideas by presenting richly textured concepts of spirituality, ritual, and initiation while simultaneously advancing new theological categories, cosmological narratives, and ways to conceptualize ethical behavior · Provides readers with new metaphors, figures of speech, modes of reasoning, etymologies, analogies, and cosmogonies · Reveals the complexity, texture, and rhythms of the African religious tradition to provide scholars with a baseline for future works The Encyclopedia of African Religion is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in fields such as Religion, Africana Studies, Sociology, and Philosophy.

Book excerpt: Maroon Cosmopolitics: Personhood, Creativity and Incorporation sheds further light on the contemporary modes of Maroon circulation and presence in Suriname and in the French Guiana. The contributors assembled in the volume look to describe Maroon ways of inhabiting, transforming and circulating through different localities in the Guianas, as well as their modes of creating and incorporating knowledge and artefacts into their social relations and spaces. By bringing together authors with diverse perspectives on the situation of the Guianese Maroon at the twenty-first century, the volume contributes to the anthropological literature on Maroon societies, providing ethnographic, and historical depth and legitimacy to the contemporary lives of the descendants of those who fled from slavery in the Americas.

Download or read book Le Tumulte Noir written by Jody Blake and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jody Blake demonstrates in this book that although the impact of African-American music and dance in France was constant from 1900 to 1930, it was not unchanging. This was due in part to the stylistic development and diversity of African-American music and dance, from the prewar cakewalk and ragtime to the postwar Charleston and jazz. Successive groups of modernists, beginning with the Matisse and Picasso circle in the 1900s and concluding with the Surrealists and Purists in the 1920s, constructed different versions of la musique and la danse negre. Manifested in creative and critical works, these responses to African-American music and dance reflected the modernists' varying artistic agendas and historical climates.
Book Synopsis European Intruders and Changes in Behaviour and Customs in Africa, America and Asia before 1800 by : Evelyn S. Rawski
Download or read book European Intruders and Changes in Behaviour and Customs in Africa, America and Asia before 1800 written by Evelyn S. Rawski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European intrusions had many impacts on invaded peoples, but less attention has often been paid to changes brought about by the encounter in everyday life and behaviour, both for the Europeans and the other cultures. What changed in diet, dress, agriculture, warfare and use of domesticated animals, for example ? To what degree were attitudes, and thus behaviours affected ? How did changes in the use of types of firearm reorder power structures, indeed lead to the rise and fall of competing local states ? Even the design and planning of houses and cities were affected. This volume looks at such changes in the early centuries of European expansion.
Book Synopsis Eclairer l’Obscurité by : Habeeb Akande
Download or read book Eclairer l’Obscurité written by Habeeb Akande and published by Rabaah Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eclairer l'Obscurité (Illuminating the Darkness en anglais) traite du statut des noirs et des Nord-Africains en Islam. Le livre est divise en deux parties: la premiere partie explore les concepts de race, de "negritude", d'esclavage, de mariages mixtes et de racisme au sein de l'Islam et a la lumiere du Coran, des Hadiths (traditions prophetiques) et de sources historiques anciennes. La seconde partie du livre est composee d'un recueil de courtes biographies de nobles musulmans noirs et Nord-Africains dans l'histoire musulmane, incluant des prophetes, des compagnions du Prophete ainsi que des personnages historiques plus recents.Cela fournit un apercu fascinant de l'ensemble des civilisations africaines, de la resistance violente organisee contre le colonialisme et aussi des brillants savants d'une tradition souvent oubliee qui nourrirent cette histoire. Le lecteur n'a besoin d'aucune precision lors de la lecture de ce livre, si ce n'est celle que l'auteur s'efforce de clarifier tout du long : le din de l'Islam n'est pas seulement exempt de racisme, mais il y est tout a fait oppose, le considerant comme etant la forme la plus aberrante de la jahiliyyah (l'ignorance).
Book Synopsis The Politics of Housing in (Post-)Colonial Africa by : Kirsten Rüther
Download or read book The Politics of Housing in (Post-)Colonial Africa written by Kirsten Rüther and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing matters, no matter when or where. This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate the how and the why. Housing is much more than a living everyday practice. It unfolds in its disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Context dependent, it acquires diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation process, or a means to achieve other ends. Our focus lies in analyzing housing in its multifacetedness, be it a lens to offer insights into complex processes that shape societies; be it a tool of empire to exercise control over private relations of inhabitants; or be it a means to create good, obedient and productive citizens. Contributions to this volume range from the field of history, to architecture and urban planning, African Studies, linguistics, and literature. The individual case studies home in on specific aspects and dimensions of housing and seek to bring them into dialogue with each other. By doing so, the volume aims to add to the vibrant academic debate on studying urban practices and their significance for current social change.
