As the twenty-first century begins, tens of millions of people participate in devotions to the spirits called Òrìsà. This book explores the emergence of Òrìsà devotion as a world religion, one of the most remarkable and compelling developments in the history of the human religious quest. Originating among the Yorùbá people of West Africa, the varied traditions that comprise Òrìsà devotion are today found in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia. The African spirit proved remarkably resilient in the face of the transatlantic slave trade, inspiring the perseverance of African religion wherever its adherents settled in the New World. Among the most significant manifestations of this spirit, Yorùbá religious culture persisted, adapted, and even flourished in the Americas, especially in Brazil and Cuba, where it thrives as Candomblé and Lukumi/Santería, respectively. After the end of slavery in the Americas, the free migrations of Latin American and African practitioners has further spread the religion to places like New York City and Miami. Thousands of African Americans have turned to the religion of their ancestors, as have many other spiritual seekers who are not themselves of African descent. Ifá divination in Nigeria, Candomblé funerary chants in Brazil, the role of music in Yorùbá revivalism in the United States, gender and representational authority in Yorùbá religious culture--these are among the many subjects discussed here by experts from around the world. Approaching Òrìsà devotion from diverse vantage points, their collective effort makes this one of the most authoritative texts on Yorùbá religion and a groundbreaking book that heralds this rich, complex, and variegated tradition as one of the world's great religions.

Japan has witnessed the arrival of thousands of immigrants, since the 1990s, from Latin America, especially from Brazil and Peru. Along with immigrants from other parts of the world, they all express the new face of Japan - one of multiculturality and multi-ethnicity. Newcomers are having a strong impact in local faith communities and playing an unexpected role in the development of communities. This book focuses on the role that faith and religious institutions play in the migrants' process of settlement and integration. The authors also focus on the impact of immigrants' religiosity amidst religious groups formerly established in Japan. Religion is an integral aspect of the displacement and settlement process of immigrants in an increasing multi-ethnic, multicultural and pluri-religious contemporary Japan. Religious institutions and their social networks in Japan are becoming the first point of contact among immigrants. This book exposes and explores the often missed connection of the positive role of religion and faith-based communities in facilitating varied integrative ways of belonging for immigrants. The authors highlight the faith experiences of immigrants themselves by bringing their voices through case studies, interviews, and ethnographic research throughout the book to offer an important contribution to the exploration of multiculturalism in Japan.

“Cultural agency” refers to a range of creative activities that contribute to society, including pedagogy, research, activism, and the arts. Focusing on the connections between creativity and social change in the Americas, this collection encourages scholars to become cultural agents by reflecting on exemplary cases and thereby making them available as inspirations for more constructive theory and more innovative practice. Creativity supports democracy because artistic, administrative, and interpretive experiments need margins of freedom that defy monolithic or authoritarian regimes. The ingenious ways in which people pry open dead-ends of even apparently intractable structures suggest that cultural studies as we know it has too often gotten stuck in critique. Intellectual responsibility can get beyond denunciation by acknowledging and nurturing the resourcefulness of common and uncommon agents. Based in North and South America, scholars from fields including anthropology, performance studies, history, literature, and communications studies explore specific variations of cultural agency across Latin America. Contributors reflect, for example, on the paradoxical programming and reception of a state-controlled Cuban radio station that connects listeners at home and abroad; on the intricacies of indigenous protests in Brazil; and the formulation of cultural policies in cosmopolitan Mexico City. One contributor notes that trauma theory targets individual victims when it should address collective memory as it is worked through in performance and ritual; another examines how Mapuche leaders in Argentina perceived the pitfalls of ethnic essentialism and developed new ways to intervene in local government. Whether suggesting modes of cultural agency, tracking exemplary instances of it, or cautioning against potential missteps, the essays in this book encourage attentiveness to, and the multiplication of, the many extraordinary instantiations of cultural resourcefulness and creativity throughout Latin America and beyond.

O NOVO ROMANCE DO AUTOR DE OS PESCADORES Narrado por um espírito ancestral, uma entidade típica da mitologia nigeriana, Uma orquestra de minorias conta a história de um jovem humilde que, ao se apaixonar pela primeira vez por uma moça rica, decide largar tudo que lhe é mais caro para provar à sua amada, à família dela e a si mesmo que, assim como as aves que tanto admira, ele também pode voar alto. O que ele não imagina, porém, é que o destino lhe mostrará que nem todas as aves, apesar de suas asas, foram feitas para ganhar o mundo, assim como alguns homens nasceram para manter os pés fincados no chão. “Uma combinação improvável e perfeita entre tragédia grega e a cosmologia nigeriana, Uma orquestra de minorias é um romance poderoso que confirma Chigozie Obioma como o mais notável autor africano de sua geração.” The New York Times “Chigozie Obioma é um contador de histórias nato, dono de uma criatividade ímpar. Uma orquestra de minorias, seu mais novo e magistral romance, aborda de forma lírica e inédita temas universais como destino, livre-arbítrio e esperança.” Washington Post

Quando se pensa em autodeterminação dos povos e direito das minorias, imagina-se um plexo de valores distantes da realidade. A verdade é que ambos os institutos já estão consolidados desde a década de 1970, quando a ONU estabeleceu um primeiro documento, vinculando-os à noção de direitos humanos. Falar em concretização dos direitos humanos permeia, também, a implementação da autodeterminação dos povos e do direito das minorais. A verdade é que, em um mundo cada vez mais complexo e com uma diversidade cultural efervescente, compreender a autodeterminação dos povos é garantir também a paz e a segurança internacional. Uma das primeiras etnias que os reivindicou foi a curda. Desde o começo do século XX, quando do desaparecimento do Estado do Curdistão, este povo viu, dia após dia, a deterioração de seus direitos e da sua própria dignidade. Este livro é a premissa para compreender a autodeterminação dos povos, o direito das minorias, a questão curda e possibilitar um aporte doutrinário para que tais direitos sejam efetivados para outras minorias que continuam a sofrer.
