"Because divination plays a pivotal role in African cultures, understanding systems of divination becomes critical to virtually any study of African peoples. This unique collection of essays demonstrates the central role that divination continues to play throughout Africa in maintaining cultural systems and in guiding human action. The book explores the diversity of African divination systems, including various aspects of the diviner's life and the full divination complex. Among the topics examined are the preparation of diviners among the Zulu of South Africa and the Batammaliba of Togo; the origin and development of these systems of knowledge among the Atuot of Sudan and the Malagasy of Madagascar; the ways in which cultural systems are articulated and maintained through divination by the Lobi of Burkina Faso and the Pagibeti and Yaka of Zaire; and the acquisition of knowledge and establishment of truth among the Temne of Sierra Leone, the Nyole of Uganda, and the Giriama and Swahili of Kenya. African Divination Systems: Ways of Knowing offers insights for current discussions in comparative epistemology, cross-cultural psychology, cognition studies, semiotics, and ethnoscience as well as for religious studies and more traditional anthropology.".…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book demonstrates that copper-alloy casting was widespread in southern Nigeria and has been practiced for at least a millennium. Philip M. Peek's research provides a critical context for the better-known casting traditions of Igbo-Ukwu, Ife, and Benin. Both the necessary ores and casting skills were widely available, contrary to previous scholarly assumptions. The majority of the Lower Niger Bronzes, which we know number in the thousands, are of subjects not found elsewhere, such as leopard skull replicas, grotesque bell heads, ritual objects, and humanoid figures. Important puzzle pieces are now in place to permit a more complete reconstruction of southern Nigerian history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, African studies, African history, and anthropology.…
