ISBN: 9780226506418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Yoruba culture has been a part of the Americas for centuries, brought from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade and maintained in various forms ever since. In Oduduwa's Chain, Andrew Apter explores a wide range of fascinating historical and ethnographic examples and offers a provocative rethinking of African heritage in Black Atlantic Studies.

Black Critics and Kings: The Hermeneutics of Power in Yoruba Society
ISBN: 9780226023434 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How can we account for the power of ritual? This is the guiding question of Black Critics and Kings, which examines how Yoruba forms of ritual and knowledge shape politics, history, and resistance against the state. Focusing on "deep" knowledge in Yoruba cosmology as an interpretive space for configuring difference, Andrew Apter analyzes ritual empowerment as an essentially critical practice, one that revises authoritative discourses of space, time, gender, and sovereignty to promote political---and even violent---change.

Beyond Words: Discourse and Critical Agency in Africa
ISBN: 9780226023526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Even within anthropology, a discipline that strives to overcome misrepresentations of peoples and cultures, colonialist depictions of the so-called Dark Continent run deep. The grand narratives, tribal tropes, distorted images, and "natural" histories that forged the foundations of discourse about Africa remain firmly entrenched. In Beyond Words, Andrew Apter explores how anthropology can come to terms with the "colonial library" and begin to develop an ethnographic practice that transcends the politics of Africa's imperial past. Even within anthropology, a discipline that strives to overcome misrepresentations of peoples and cultures, colonialist depictions of the so-called... |

The Pan-African Nation: Oil and the Spectacle of Culture in Nigeria
ISBN: 9780226023557 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Nigeria hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) in 1977, it celebrated a global vision of black nationhood and citizenship animated by the exuberance of its recent oil boom. Andrew Apter's The Pan-African Nation tells the full story of this cultural extravaganza, from Nigeria's spectacular rebirth as a rapidly developing petro-state to its dramatic demise when the boom went bust.
According to Apter, FESTAC expanded the horizons of blackness in Nigeria to mirror the global circuits of its economy. By showcasing masks, dances, images, and...

Activating the Past: History and Memory in the Black Atlantic World
ISBN: 9781443816380 / Twarda / 2010 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Activating the Past explores critical historical events and transformations associated with embodied memories in the Black Atlantic world. The assembled case-studies disclose hidden historical references to local and regional encounters with Atlantic modernity, focusing on religious festivals that represent political and economic relationships in “fetishized” forms of power and value. Although memories of the slave trade are rarely acknowledged in West Africa and the Americas, they have retreated, so to speak, within ritual associations as restricted, repressed, even secret histories that...
