These thrilling, whimsically and action packed anthology of adventurous stories bring to life some vital aspects of traditional African culture. These wonderful African traditional stories offer a rare glimpse into a portion of African traditional culture not often openly discussed outside many remote villages they originate from. As you peer through these pages be prepared to be thrilled and amazed as some aspects of ancient African culture are brought to life through amazing story telling. Most of the stories are used to reinforce the traditional virtues in these tribal societies. Some of the stories illustrate and exemplify what happens to youngsters when they choose to follow the century old African tradition and culture; and when another youngster deviates from the traditional African values of respecting and honoring their elders. And yes, some of the stories are told to young girls in rural areas as cautionary tales to keep them from marrying total strangers outside their respective tribes. Most of the stories and folktales here are fictionalized and many characters borrowed from various cultures to entertain the reading audience, while imparting numerous traditional virtues and morals into the youngsters. The ancient traditional African elders strongly believe in inculcating and ingraining these societal virtues into their youngsters, because like the ancient Greek philosophers, the African elders deeply concurred with Plato’s enunciation that: “Now since men are by nature acquisitive, jealous, combative and erotic, how shall we persuade them to behave themselves? By the Policeman’s omnipresent club? It is a brutal method, costly and irritating. There is a better way, and this is by lending to the moral requirements of the community.”

African philosophies about the way to live a flourishing life are predominantly virtue-oriented. However, narratives of African conceptions of virtue are uncommon. This book therefore helps bridge an important gap in literature. Authors writing from South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, Côte D’Ivoire and Nigeria share research on indigenous wisdoms on virtue, displaying marked consensus about the communitarian nature of African virtue ethics traditions and virtues essential for a flourishing life. They also show how indigenous virtue ethics improve corporate practices. This book will be a launchpad for further studies in Afriethics as well as a medium for sharing rich knowledge with the rest of the world.

Peter Paris's popular and influential work on African and African American spirituality is here brought to a broader audience. Paris, in his influential book "The Spirituality of African Peoples, showed how the religious and moral values of Africa have pervaded African American life and thought. In this excerpt, discussing six particular virtues, he shows how the African worldview enriched and ennobled African American notions of morality and values, of public virtue, and of meaningful life.

Every immigrant did not come voluntarily to America. In 1619, a year before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the first shipload of twenty Africans arrived at Jamestown, Virginia. For more than two hundred years, these Africans were brought against their will from the coastal countries of West Africa. These forced immigrants were prevented from preserving their history and culture. And this is why so many African Americans, Jamaicans, Haitians, Trinidadians, and all the black people whose ancestors migrated from Africa against their will to the Western world beginning from the fifteenth century do not know their history beyond slavery. The results of this forced migration and lack of knowledge of true history have shown themselves in epidemic levels of individual low self-esteem, lack of trust, team work, group self-confidence, black on black crimes heavy school drop-outs and low graduation rates among the Africans in the Diaspora, to mention a few. The virtues and the greatness of the ancestors, which present in colorful pictures the customs and occupations of the ancestors of the Africans in the Diaspora, and traces their true history to the periods when they were kings, chiefs, and nobles in West Africa, is written to build the self-esteem of their descendants, in the kindergarten, grades one, two, three and four as well as teach and reinforce their social and academic skills. It is written to correct at an early age, the negative information that limits their origin in life to former plantation slaves and make them grow with the beliefs that the stars of greatness are also in their DNA and within their reach, as it is often believed and assumed by the European children in their various classes and schools. The facts contained in the story book are contributions from the interviews granted by some Professors of African, and African American history, Oral and Palace historians from Africa, African elders over one hundred, and from my previous documentary, “From Palace to Plantation to Glory.”

YAM (Your African Magical ) Stories, is a collection of short stories set in and around the continent of Africa. Curated and composed by Ami Taal, these tales will capture your imagination and take you on an incredible journey across Africa. In Mama's Magical Enkicha, we are taken on a magical trip around the continent as our heroine is transported to different locations through the power and affinity of a mother's love. The Wisdom of Virtue is a fantastic tale of the power of kindness over cruelty, and the importance of forgiveness. Lioness Mountain describes how courage, bravery and intelligence are sometimes better than brute force and strength, while also giving a fictionalized account of the origin of a wonderful west African country! Princess Zam-Zam is a great Afrocentric take on the classic fairy-tale trope of a princess seeking her "knight in shining armour", while The Perils of Ambition highlights the dangers of getting caught up in chasing a dream and forgetting where you come from. Yamlins is a fabulous tale of exotic, mythical creatures that terrorize a village until the kind nature of one family's patriarch is tested to the limit. The tale's hero battles with his morals and almost crosses the line in order to protect his loved ones and the village. Ultimately, it's a tale that shows that sometimes intentions can be stronger than actions ever could be. The Fox and The Turtle is another classic fairy-tale trope given a new Afrocentric spin. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind desire, and how forgetting to be polite and kind in the quest for success or achieving one's goals could lead to one's demise! This special edition of YAM Stories contains an additional eleven stories based on international fables! Abdulai and the Butterfly, depicting struggles; The Elephant, The Rope and Faith, belief; Eyes, change; Bandile's Anger, control your anger; The Golden Box Story, opportunity; A Pound of Butter, honesty; An Army of Frogs, encouragement; Outside of the Box, creative thinking; The King and Boulder, love; Puppies are for sale, understanding; and last but not least, Lalibela and the Falcons, Independence. Ami Taal has curated and updated these open copyright classics, reconstructing them from an Afrocentric perspective, adding her own unique take for your reading pleasure. These stories will not only enlighten you morally, but extend the magical journey Ami takes you on!

Tales from Africa, by Azubike Aliche, is a collection of eight folk tales. These stories capture the best in African mythology, philosophy and value system. They are adaptations of folk tales handed down from generations of Africans to entertain and educate the younger generation. Centered on animals, the stories teach about loyalty, valor, obedience, treachery and greed, among other virtues and vices. Since time immemorial, folk tales have been instruments of socialization in Africa. They are told as bedtime stories to children over fireplaces in the family hall. The are also told at village squares where children gather during moonlight for assorted entertainment and informal education. But these stories have messages for all kids that cut across geographical, racial and cultural boundaries. Indeed, for African American kids who want to know about Africa and their cultural heritage, these stories should prove invaluable. From the loyal dog to the wily tortoise; from the greedy lion to the fearless antelope and from the obedient only son to the once childless couple, curious and impressionable kids will have a lot in these stories to entertain them and task their imagination. To give them better context, the tales have been fortified with African proverbs and wise sayings.

In this engaging historical survey of the African American concept of virtue in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Samuel Roberts explores how virtue became "a vision of a divinely ordered life that impelled its adherents to struggle against the injustice of slavery and to forge communities and structures that could ensure the development of the furthest moral and material possibilities of African Americans".

This book investigates the ubuntu theory-based conception of virtue and moral character formation in the northern, western, and eastern regions of Africa, suggesting a critical reconstruction of ubuntu by conceptualising the four different forms of practices in moral character formation. Arguing for the critical reconstruction of ubuntu virtue theory as more nuanced than simply the standard ubuntu normative virtue theories (which give priority to the community as the sole locus for understanding virtues and character formation in Africa), the book builds a comprehensive model of virtue and moral character formation that draws insights from the reconstructed notion of ubuntu and other theories within and beyond the African thought. Chapters feature experience from across Africa including Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa, and centre on topics such as traditional cultural views and practices, political systems in various nations, neoliberalist thought, and primary, secondary and tertiary education systems in Africa and further afield. This is a valuable resource for scholars, academics, and postgraduate students, working in the fields of moral and values education, philosophy of education, and the theory of education more broadly. Those also interested in educational psychology may also find the volume of interest.
