Intercultural Encounters, Historicity and Cultural Communication for Development in Nigeria

Bag om Intercultural Encounters, Historicity and Cultural Communication for Development in Nigeria

The book is a collection of essays on African indigenous knowledge systems (AIKS), ethnography, cultural dynamics, language, gender, and cultural avatars, especially among the Benin and Yoruba peoples in Nigeria. It is a fresh and refreshing look at intercultural encounters among ethnicities that provides a framework for scholars and researchers in African Studies to probe the issues of continuity and discontinuity in the sociology of indigenous African people and mobilise them for progress. Concretely, the articles explore power dynamics in societies through performance and cultural arts and permit the readers to demystify, deconstruct, and reconstruct Western ways of thinking and knowing influenced by dominant and oppressive social systems, structures, and knowledges. Furthermore, it provides students and other knowledge seekers with lenses for understanding and critical reappraisal of intergroup relations, aesthetic trends in modern African performances and festivals, and historical-mythical engagements aimed at cultural communication for development in Nigeria. The editors of this book create a platform for critical awakening. Each chapter of this book carefully adopts a unique approach to exploring issues that concern interculturalism, transculturalism, and transnationalism.
