Condizione: Gut. XI; 252 Seiten; Illustr. (auch farbig); 23,5 cm. Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag stw. leicht berieben. - Aus der Afrika-Sammlung von Dr. H. J. Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin; mit sehr geringen Bleistift-Anstreichungen. - Vortitel von John Pemberton SIGNIERT und mit Widmung / Dedication an H. J. Koloß; dat. 1997. - Englisch. - Die Yoruba (Yorùbá) sind ein westafrikanisches Volk, das vor allem im Südwesten Nigerias lebt. Dort stellen sie 21 % der Bevölkerung. Sie leben hauptsächlich in den südwestlichen Bundesstaaten Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti und Kwara, aber auch in den Nachbarstaaten Benin, Ghana und Togo. Das Siedlungsgebiet ist noch heute das dicht besiedelte Kerngebiet Nigerias. 22 der 50 größten Städte des Staates liegen dort. Dort entstand auch das sagenumwobene Königreich von Ilé Ife. . (wiki) // Yoruba Sacred Kingship explores the creation and transmission of political memory and authority, focusing on the tradition of kingship in the Igbomina Yoruba town of Ila Orangun in southwestern Nigeriaa "crowned town" that traces its lineage to the ancient city of Ile Ife. Drawing on two decades of research and interviews with civic and religious leaders, the authors argue that oral traditions, rituals, and festivals are not ahistorical but rather preserve, transmit, and shape social norms and historical identity. Yoruba oral histories and praise songs of both royal and nonroyal houses contain a cluster of memories that reinforce the sociopolitical traditions of the area. These complex memories, at times conflicting and subversive, reflect the fabric of history, with all its loose threads and contradictory tones. Examining the structure of enthronement rites and the cycle of annual festivals in which a king participates, the authors show that these rituals serve both as public acknowledgment of underlying doubts about the town's moral basis, and as affirmation that the crown's wearer possesses "a power like that of the gods."
