Gutes Ex.; Umschlag etwas berieben u. stw. verblaßt. - 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. . (wiki) // . The Yoruba Artist presents the latest in field research and critical methodology, pointing to new directions in African cultural scholarship. The book explains the intricate linkage of a variety of Yoruba art forms and the role of oriki (praise poetry) songs in the transmission of knowledge. In one essay, Wande Abimbola illustrates how an extended praise poem serves as a source for knowledge concerning a famous eighteenth-century carver in the Old Oyo area. In another, Oba Solomon Babayemi discusses the relationship between oral history preserved by singers and drummers and the architectural history of the palace at Gbongan. In appraising individual figures such as Olowe of Isethis century's most important Yoruba artistthe contributors underscore particular oral and visual codes that identify authorship. Discussing the transition to current cultural forms, the essayists also show how contemporary artists in West Africa and the Americas have revitalized Yoruba aesthetic traditions.
