    The first obvious answer to this question is the Yoruba are a nationality, numbering about 25 million, the majority of whom live in the South Western part of the state of Nigeria in West Africa. Obvious as this answer is, it is not wholly explanatory, and certainly, it is not without its own controversy. First, regarding its explanatory status. One has to add, that the Yoruba are a black people, of Negro stock; that they speak a common language, Yoruba, which belongs to the Kwa group of the Nige...

  • 20 Th Century African Art
    1,045 words
    African Art does not have specific date to which it evolved because most early African Art was carved in wood, which perished quickly. This is why most art dates from the 19 th and early 20 th century. Many 20 th century artists admired and collected pieces of African Art. They enjoyed the bold color, expression, and form that produced a new beginning in art history. African Art was mostly dedicated to life affirming activities such as healing, pleasure, protection, and transformation. The first...

  • Gods And Goddesses Museum Of Natural History
    1,322 words
    European slavers altered the way that different African people viewed one another and themselves. The book by Miguel Barnet, Biography of a Runaway Slave is a strong account that can be used to explore how Africans changed their perception of each other, and how this change influenced the lives of Africans in the Americas. First of all it is important to examine how many African slaves were brought to the New World. The Middle Passage is infamous route of the ships that carried slaves to the Ame...

  • Western Perspective Small Amount Olunde
    742 words
    From the Western perspective, it is hard to understand ritual suicide as anything positive or helpful to the living. There almost seems to be no Western equivalent to the "duty" of Elesin in Death and the King's Horseman. However, We Soyinka gives us a comparable situation in Jane's description of a captain blowing up a ship to save the people on the shore. It's a moment of hypocrisy on Britain's part, both trying to prevent Elesin's suicide and lauding a Western suicide which purports to...

  • Afro Cuban Catholic Saints Yoruba
    801 words
    The Yoruba, one of Sub-Saharan Africa's most populous groups, sixteen million strong, live in the Republic of Nigeria. They are heirs to an ancient culture exceptional for its urban density, refinement and complexity. When forced migration took Yoruba peoples to the plantations of Cuba, Brazil and Haiti, they recombined their deities into a new pantheon and incorporated Catholic saints whose powers and histories seemed parallel. For example, some representations of the Virgin Mary were equated w...

    The African presence in the Americas has left an indelible imprint not only on the region's economic, social, and ethnic aspects; but even more so in the cultural, artistic, and religious development of this hemisphere. The study of this presence and its influences has gained tremendous significance in the current century, as has the interest in syncretism or juxtaposed religions created by a blending of Christian and African religious beliefs, rites and practices. Hundreds of years ago, slave s...

  • Netscape Navigator Important Role
    1,187 words
    When I was first assigned this research paper on Voodoo, the first thing I thought of was Voodoo dolls, zombies, and evil magic. I think Voodoo is an evil religion which sacrifices humans as well as animals to demonic gods. I think it has been around for thousands of years, but is little left today. I believe that Voodoo is nothing but evil and the work of the devil. Voodoo originated in Western Africa by the Yoruba tribe. The Yoruba religion has about four hundred lesser gods called Orissa. Thi...

  • Commit Suicide Opposing Views
    1,632 words
    In his play, Death and the Kings Horseman, We Soyinka would have us examine every clash and conflict, save for the one involving culture. Certainly this may seem the most obvious part of the play, but we would do the general understanding of Death a disservice if we ignored one of the central conflicts in the play. Every element of the play is placed in terms of two extremes, and the cultures must be considered one of those pairs. Suicide is no exception to this examination; it must be seen in t...
