The Philosophy of Olodumare and Shango is a work designed for the thinking man. It details the thorny issue of black metaphysics. Oswald Eckles Jr treats of the nature of the black man versus the other. It contains some hard truths about the white and black races. Oswald Eckles Jr penetrating insights into Western philosophy details where African Philosophy has gone wrong and the road African Philosophers should now take. In The Philosophy of Olodumare and Shango, Shango is the black man, God is the white man, and Shango and God are equal. His philosophy of States states that the finite State is the infinite State whereas the finite is illusory and the infinite is real; consequently, man is two States in one. The two States are one being called Shango! Mr. Eckles treats of Aesthetics, and makes the attempt to integrate Black metaphysics with the metaphysics of the Western world by deconstructing the categories of Aristotle! And creating a daring and original philosophy of mind!

Women and Migration

ISBN:
Category : Immigrants
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
All contributions to this book to this volume describe women as social actors within specific migration processes and point out women's creativity in shaping migrant settings. This perspective counter-balances common descriptions of women as more or less invisible and dependent of male migration. At the same time the anthropological approach ensures the careful consideration and analysis of the culturally specific contexts, within which the different processes of migration are taking place. Regional and cultural diversity of the data presented renders possible intercultural comparison of the investigated phenomena.

African American Culture
Author: Omari L. Dyson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1081
Book Description
Covering everything from sports to art, religion, music, and entrepreneurship, this book documents the vast array of African American cultural expressions and discusses their impact on the culture of the United States. According to the latest census data, less than 13 percent of the U.S. population identifies as African American; African Americans are still very much a minority group. Yet African American cultural expression and strong influences from African American culture are common across mainstream American culture—in music, the arts, and entertainment; in education and religion; in sports; and in politics and business. African American Culture: An Encyclopedia of People, Traditions, and Customs covers virtually every aspect of African American cultural expression, addressing subject matter that ranges from how African culture was preserved during slavery hundreds of years ago to the richness and complexity of African American culture in the post-Obama era. The most comprehensive reference work on African American culture to date, the multivolume set covers such topics as black contributions to literature and the arts, music and entertainment, religion, and professional sports. It also provides coverage of less-commonly addressed subjects, such as African American fashion practices and beauty culture, the development of jazz music across different eras, and African American business.

Book Description
"Numerous titles focusing on particular beliefs in Africa exist, including Marcel Griaule′s Conversations with Ogotemmeli, but this one presents an unparallelled exploration of a multitude of cultures and experiences.
