This is the sixth title in a series of titles focussing on the oral literary tradition of various East African ethnic groups - the Maasai, the Embu and the Mbeere amongst others - published by EAEP. Okumba Miruka, particularly known for his contribution to oral literature in Kenya, sets out to contexualise his subject by first explaining about the Luo people and culture - from migratory patterns and economic activity to the concept of divinity, death, warfare and Luo cuisine and eating culture. He then approaches the oral literature of the Luo through the genres of riddles, proverbs, poetry and narratives. For each genre, he offers a general introduction, notes on style, convention, performance and social function, and a wide range of samples, or 'primary texts' with commentaries.

Intellectual Property Protection Of Traditional Cultural Expressions written by Luo Li and has been published by Springer Science & Business this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-04-22 with Law categories.
The work reviews issues concerning the protection of folklore through the intellectual property legal system, then explores two main issues in the protection of Chinese folklore. The first issue is the influence of Chinese traditional culture on the Chinese intellectual property legal system and Chinese society. The second concerns the deficiencies of the Chinese intellectual property system with regard to folklore. Both issues are examined through a survey on the weak public recognition of intellectual property law and folklore in Chinese society. The book also reveals the practical issues that have arisen in Southwest China through case studies. After analysing these issues, the work designs a model law specifically for folklore and also provides suggestions for how the current intellectual property legal system could establish a comprehensive legal protection system for folklore. Furthermore, the work shows that its proposed model law is effective in practice by resolving the issues in the case studies presented.

In this book, Saturnino Onyala describes the social values and social relationships of the Northern Luo of South Sudan. This is a culture and history that has not been studied in depth in the past -- there are very few written texts on the subject. Consequently, this is a must read for anthropologists, historians, sociologists, social workers and philosophers who are interested in the lives of the Northern Luo as well as for the Luo people themselves, who have been dispersed across the globe following years of war, persecution and forced migration. The materials are based on both face-to-face discussions with elders from various groups of the nine clans of the Northern Luo. Secondly, the materials in this book are also based on anthropological studies in the then Sudan, with the author's additional description and analysis of the history, traditions and culture. Onyala begins this work by tracing the social values and practice of social relations of the Northern Luo as from the ancient Kingdom of Kush; he also reveals on how the Luo have exerted considerable influence on the Greeks. Onyala reveals that the alphabet that most writers claim was developed by the Egyptian in reality was originally created as set of letters from the Luo people, when they were in the Kush Kingdom, a part of Egypt at that time. The book describes how the nine clans of the Northern Luo of South Sudan are related and how they later on separated from each other; the book goes further to describe the geography and demography of each of the Northern Luo clans and where they are today. The book examines the Luo's search for new settlements, including the challenges they faced as they marched through occupied lands in search of a new place to call home. The book reveals that Acholi clan (which is part of the Northern Luo) are the founders of Freedom and Democracy in South Sudan, a fact hardly spoken of today, due to the marginalisation of the Acholi in particular and the marginalisation of the Northern Luo in general within South Sudan. The book offers an opportunity for the men and women, boys and girls of the Northern Luo to understand the blood relationship that exists among them and appreciate the importance of reunification of the Luo groups by building a community of shared culture, beliefs and destiny. The book describes details of traditional Northern Luo cultures and their societies that include kinship, arts, hand crafts, music, economy and livelihoods, marriages, and many other aspects. Saturnino Onyala wants to pass this rich knowledge of cultural values and social relationships of

EMBODIMENT OF HOPE is telling the life story of Omolo his family and his clan based on Luo Culture and Customs. The book investigates the circumstances and experiences of three generation of Joka Nyandiga clan, a remarkable clan from Kodero Bara Village in Kenya. There are powerful stories of four widowed women, Ogola Ngare, Flora, Esta and Damaris and their relationships with men in the patriarchal Luo society and continues to explore the ambitions of these widows. The novel begins with the story of one On'gele, the first pioneer warrior from the clan to join the KAR Army to fight in the First World War. On'gele would retire from service, return to Kodero Bara Village, where he would leave a mark as the village Casanova. In his journey among women, he would sire a son, Erasto Omolo, out of leviratic union with Ogola Ngare. Erasto, impressed by his father's war-time stories, would be second warrior. Omolo joined the British Colonial Army to fight in the Second World War, but unlike his father, he instead got more interested in the White man's civilization, their lifestyle and education, which he adopted. As a result, Omolo gained a career in the in Colonial Kenya. The second story, intertwined with the first, is about the clash of African religious beliefs and cultural practices, with Christianity and the White man's culture, and the struggles of Luo ancestors to cope with the new way of life under colonial rule as demonstrated in the lives of Ogola Ngare's sons, Ogawo, Midianga and Omolo, men who lived in a world dominated by the arrival of aggressive Christian missionaries and their Christian-cum-western culture. The novel elaborates on the compatibility between what the sons understood about Luo cultural values and beliefs, on one hand, and the new Christian religion and the notion of modernity, on the other hand.The novel ends with the story of Ongele's grandson, Edward, a silent modern book and pen warrior, who becomes a university professor in the USA
