Mvett designates both a stringed musical instrument, the player and the epics developed there, from which a whole literature emerges. The word Mvett in its broadest sense reflects the Ekang culture. Revealed during the exodus of the Ekang people (Beti-Fang-Bulu - the Ekang people are today scattered between Gabon, Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea and on the island of São Tomé.), Mvett songs were sung to the fighters to excite them before the battles. Beyond this use, the art of Mvett encompasses all aspects of Ekang culture: poetry, philosophy or scientific knowledge of the world. It evokes the power of man as the driving force of life, without which the world would be an imperfect work. After the publication of his first book on the Mvett (Du Mvett: La généalogie du silence. Book 1: From Tsira Ndong Ndoutoume to Daniel Assoumou Ndoutoume or the tragedy of the smugglers. Paris, Ed Atramenta, July 2019), in which he revealed his genetic and genealogical link with this sacred art, Omer Ntougou Ndoutoume comes back to us with an even bolder project. This time he takes us into an epic told in the purest tradition of the Mvett, while scrupulously respecting the related cartography (culture, cosmology, spirituality, geography of the worlds, identity of the characters, logic of progression of the story).Through the journey of Esebe Ella, chief of the strange Esameki Tribe, who will raise an incredible army around his daughter Abendang Mbeng Esebe to fight Engong in order to take away the secret of immortality, the author plunges us into the heart of the complex fight between matter and immatites. In a beautifully written work, whose style is somewhere between the sharp pen of Tsira Ndong Ndoutoume and the sometimes sarcastic humour of Daniel Assoumou Ndoutoume, he delights us with the imagination in which he immerses us and the lessons we learn from it ourselves.This war will lead each of the warring sides to draw on unsuspected resources to win formidable battles and try to overcome them.

To mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Theatre History Studies journal, editor Rhona Justice-Malloy and the Mid-America Theatre Conference have collected a special-themed volume covering the past and present of African and African American theatre. Topics included range from modern theatrical trends and challenges in Zimbabwe and Kenya, and examining the history and long-range impact of Paul Robeson’s groundbreaking and troubled life and career, to gender issues in the work of Ghanaian playwright Efo Kodjo Mawugbe, and the ways that 19th-century American blackness was defined through Othello and Desdemona. This collection fills a vacancy in academic writing. Readers will enjoy it; academics can incorporate it into their curriculum; and students will find it helpful and illuminating.

African research played a major role in transforming the discipline of anthropology in the twentieth century. Ethnographic studies, in turn, had significant effects on the way imperial powers in Africa approached subject peoples. Ordering Africa provides the first comparative history of these processes. With essays exploring metropolitan research institutes, Africans as ethnographers, the transnational features of knowledge production, and the relationship between anthropology and colonial administration, this volume both consolidates and extends a range of new research questions focusing on the politics of imperial knowledge. Specific chapters examine French West Africa, the Belgian and French Congo, the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Italian Northeast Africa, Kenya, and Equatorial Africa (Gabon) as well as developments in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. A major collection of essays that will be welcomed by scholars interested in imperial history and the history of Africa.

We cannot, the author argues, adequately understand the religious imagination without knowing the historical, social, and cultural matrices from which it arises. Accordingly, his book explores the Fang culture of Gabon as a set of contexts from which emerges the Bwiti religion. In addition to experience with missionary Christianity, Bwiti uses a great reservoir of images and ideas from its own past. Professor Fernandez analyszes how they are recreated into a compelling religious universe, an equatorial microcosm. Part I, a detailed ethnographic account of Fang culture after colonial encounter, addresses the attendant problems. The author discusses the European influence on the self-concept of the Fang, family life and kinship, and political and economic relationships. Part II analyzes in greater detail the religious implications of European administration and missionary efforts. In Part III the author shows how the malaise and increasing isolation of part of Fang culture achieve some assuagement of the Bwiti religion, which seeks a reconciliation of the past and present. James W. Fernandez is Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University and author of many studies in this discipline. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Winner of the 2014 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, selected by Naomi Shihab Nye The word tyrant carries negative connotations, but in this new collection, Joanne Diaz tries to understand what makes tyranny so compelling, even seductive. These dynamic, funny, often poignant poems investigate the nature of tyranny in all of its forms political, cultural, familial, and erotic. Poems about Stalin, Lenin, and Castro appear beside poems about deeply personal histories. The result is a powerful exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated and informed by larger, more despotic forces.

Act of violence or show of strength? In a world of spectacular suffering and power plays – large and small – what is theatre's role in protecting human dignity? With its impassioned plays, inspired activism and outspoken artists, the theatre has long provided a venue for promoting and practising human rights; but is this always to the good? Today the relationship between theatre and human rights is not only vital, but complex and contested. Drawing on an international range of examples, this short, sharp and timely book outlines the key features of the debate and offers a critical take on where it should go next. Foreword by Rabih Mrove.
