‎Ajala, Aderemi Suleiman‎

‎Rural health provisioning : socio-cultural factors influencing maternal and child health care in Osun State, Nigeria.‎

‎Frankfurt, M.: Lang, 2009. 88 S. : graph. Darst. Originalhardcover.‎

‎Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The slow response of maternal and child health care problems to control strategies in Nigeria suggests that the health sector requires more holistic study. This study focuses on case-specifics of the affected communities and examines the incidence of maternal and child health care from entire cultural domain of the focused communities. The rural communities of Osun state in Nigeria are the object of the study, where the local conception of maternal and child health was examined. Similarly, the local people?s perception of maternal and child health was identified and various attitudes and practices affecting health care provisioning in the rural communities of Osun state were similarly analysed. Relying on ethnographic methods of data collection, the text establishes that certain local attitudes are constraints against equitable access to maternal and child health care facilities. It also establishes that there are some other local practices which promote good health of the rural mothers and their children. Specific findings show that illiteracy and low level of economic activities suffered by mothers were the major causes of maternal and child health care problems in rural communities.

Edizione inglese / English Edition. 4to cm 30x24. pp. 326. Perfetto Mint. Prima edizione First Edition. ReSignifications interprets the "Blackamoor" trope in Western culture. This tradition of decorative art emerged at the intersection of cross-cultural encounters shaped by centuries of migration exchange conquest servitude and exile. ReSignifications links classical and popular representations of African bodies in European art culture and history. It moderates and subverts artistic conventions by using the works of contemporary artists from Africa Europe North and South America and the Caribbean to engage in dialogue with the broad historical array of ornamental representations of African bodies.Resignifications offre una nuova e inesplorata chiave di lettura della figura del moro così come è stata raffigurata in Europa attraverso i secoli invitando artisti contemporanei dell'Africa Europa ed Americhe a reinterpretare quella che è appunto un'icona nell'ambito delle arti decorative sviluppatesi in Europa in epoca moderna. Siffatta produzione artistica riflette idee di cultura identità ed è forgiata da fenomeni come la migrazione la conquista la schiavitù e l'esilio; il libro offre un'opportunità inedita per decostruire questo insieme di assunti e lo fa con un approccio multidisciplinare. L'università di New York Villa La Pietra a Firenze ospita una notevole collezione di questi artefatti attestandosi pertanto come una sede ideale da cui lanciare al mondo accademico e degli artisti la sfida per una rilettura della figura del Blackamoor.

‎The History and Performance of Durbar in Northern Nigeria.‎

‎Nigeria Magazine (Lagos), 1978. 47 Seiten; Illustrationen (tls. in Farbe); qu.-17,5 cm; geheftet.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; Einband stärker berieben u. stw. leicht beschabt. - Englisch und französisch. - On the 5th and 8th February, 1977, two major durbar events were held in Kaduna. the capital of Kaduna State. This durbar was part of the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture held in Nigeria between the 15th January and the 12th February, 1977. The participants were drawn from nine states in the country and the grand durbar was one of the most important contributions of Nigeria to the great Festival. 1 Altogether, some 20,000 people, 3,500 horses and 500 camels participated in the event at which a great variety of artistic and cultural life of the participating communities were displayed. These included traditional music, dances, acrobatic feats, and horsemanship. Durbar has an interesting history which has linked together pre-colonial forms of martial display, the contrived spectacles of colonialists, and post colonial celebrations of important events in the emirates of Northern Nigeria. The word "durbar" is not of Nigerian origin. It is derived from a Persian word "darbar" which means house or court room or hall of audience.2 Through the process of cultural diffusion, this word found itself in the vocabulary of other groups especially in the neighbouring areas. For example, it was first used in India in its original context. After the British conquest and the establishment of colonial domination in India the word durbar acquired a fixed meaning. It referred specifically to formal assemblies convened to mark such occasions as that of the proclamation of Queen Victoria of Britain as the Empress of India in 1876 as well as that held to mark the visit of King George V to India in 1911. This contextual meaning of the term was introduced by the British colonialists to what was, until recently, Northern Nigeria. In the course of their domination over this area, the British held several durbars in the years 1911,1924,1925 and 1948. These durbars were primarily ceremonial in nature and served to remind local rulers and the people of their subordination to British colonial authority.4 Since the attainment of independence in Nigeria (1960), durbars have been organized for national celebrations of historic events for example, in 1960 and 1972, and more recently in 1977 in Kaduna, to mark the 2nd World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC). The relationship of durbar tradition with British colonialism has led many people to regard such events, perhaps with some justification, as a colonial innovation and therefore out of context in the historical and cultural development of this country. While however, this seems to be so at a first glance, some other important questions call for closer examination to modify this view. ? (S. 9)‎

The majority of the gourds illustrated and discussed were field-collected by Barbara Rubin Hudson between 1969-1971. She conducted research among groups who still actively practiced this art and focused specifically on techniques, styles of decoration, and meanings of design systems. Her intensive concentration on this single category of production has yielded precise information about artists, innovations, and relationships across ethnic boundaries. In 1980-1982, Maria Berns worked among many of the same groups; however, calabash decoration was only one component of a larger project aimed at documenting the entire range of arts produced by the little-known groups living in the region. Linguistic, ethnographic, and historical data were used to correlate the distribution of these arts within the Lower Gongola Valley to a reconstruction of the ethnohistory of their producers. A number of gourds also were collected during Berns' field investigations. This project had its genesis in the donation by Barbara Rubin Hudson of 214 decorated gourds to the Museum of Cultural History. Dr. Hudson's generosity to the Museum and her contributions to this catalogue are greatly appreciated. A second donation of 61 gourds from the same area by Linda and Bruce Friedman provided an excellent complement to the initial acquisition. (Vorwort) ISBN 0930741090‎

‎Booth, Mohammed (Ed.)‎

‎Kano State. Those In Charge. Designed and Published by the Information Division, Ministry of Home Affairs ... Kano, Nigeria.‎

‎1982. 36 Seiten; Abb.; 21 cm; geheftet.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; Einband stw. berieben u. etwas beschabt. - Englisch. - Kano ist ein Bundesstaat des westafrikanischen Landes Nigeria. Die gleichnamige Hauptstadt Kano ist mit 3.626.204 Einwohnern (2005) die größte Stadt des Bundesstaates. ... (wiki) // Kano State: Those in charge contains the brief biographical sketches of three separate but coordinate leaderships in the presidential system-Executive, Legislature and Judiciary-in Kano State. From the Executive Branch of the presidential system we have spotlighted the Governor, the Deputy and the rest of the cabinet members. In this regard, therefore, Kano State: Those In Charge incorporates to an extent the revised version of The Most Formidable Cabinet published in early 1980 by the Information Division, including the four new Commissioners and excluding the four who are no longer in the Cabinet. From the legislature we have picked the Speaker, his deputy, the majority and minority leaders, which we feel sufficiently represent the state's law-making authority and process. The Chief Judge and Grand Khadi represent the Judicature. ? (Edet Uno im Vorwort)‎
