SynopsisThis book presents plurality and globalization concepts from African perspectives, using Yoruba and a few other African cultures as examples. From discourses on New World and twenty-first century migration, trans-nationalism, slavery, to identity and African Islamic cultural performances, the book adopts discourse methodology that is rooted in both African cultural rhetoric and Western analytical traditions. It discusses travel, exile, and the 21st Century pluralistic world and the search for cultural acceptance by immigrants in their newly adopted homes and native communities they left behind. Prof. Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah is Vice-Chancellor at Kwara State University. Prior to joining KWASU, he was Chair of African American Studies Department at Western Illinois University., Using Yoruba culture and other African cultures as examples, Cultural Globalization and Plurality presents plurality and globalisation concepts from an African perspective. From discourses on New World and 21st century migration, trans-nationalism and slavery, to issues of identity and African Islamic cultural performances, it adopts discourse methodology that is rooted in both African cultural rhetoric and Western analytical traditions. It also discusses day-to-day issues such as travel, exile and the search for cultural acceptance in a new society.
