  • - With Essays in African Philosophy of Religion
    av Ikechukwu Anthony Kanu
    250

    The present work focuses on the major inquiries in philosophy of religion. This work is unique in its own way, in the sense that it introduces something new to the corpus of literature that is often referred to as philosophy of religion. It introduces themes in African philosophy of religion, which is an area not often referred to in African philosophy, let alone in textbooks in philosophy of religion. As this work opens a new aperture in the study of the philosophy of religion, it is hoped that it would generate further interest in the study of African philosophy of religion.

  • - Equality, Cultural Capital and the Process of Social and Cultural Transitions
    av MD Mostafa & Dr Iqbal
    397

    The migration of farm workers to rural Scotland is an important issue that relates to the existing theories and research in contemporary equality and cultural capital studies, particularly in regard to the exploration of how and in what ways cultural capital theory can be addressed to study migrants equality claims, the examination of how complex equality models can be used for inquiry into the reinforcement of inequalities in cultural capital and the accumulative effects of such inequality. In particular, the experiences of East European migrant farm workers challenge theoretical perspectives that apply a) an approach of equality claim from cultural capital, which emphasize b) equal right to recognition, and therefore, c) focus on entitlement to equal protection against any discrimination. This book, therefore, offers us a way to explore these experiences with a call for attention to be paid to a large number of East European migrant farm workers who have migrated to rural Scotland to work in low paid jobs marked with low skills. Unlike majority members of a population, migrant farm workers often give up their cultural capital and take up low skilled jobs in order to gain opportunities for success in other spheres in their lives. Critiquing such a trade-off approach, if the sphere of migrants cultural capital is invaded and the cultural capital of local workers (native) is acknowledged, migrants are in a vulnerable position. I also argue although migrants achievements are devalued, and their substantive equality remains unprotected, their claim from cultural capital is relatively strong and valid to manage. The more vulnerable a migrants cultural capital is in terms of recognition and protection, the stronger his or her claim from cultural capital will be. Under the theoretical framework, I argue that if equal recognitions of cultural capital are not actively ensured, this is highly likely to produce increased claims to equality.

    Season of Flowers is the sixth book of poetry by the author, Felix Bongjoh. His five previous poetry collections are: (i ) Chorus on A Bridge; (ii) Broken Gloss of Bliss; (iii) When Dusk Hoots; (iv) Weeds of Jewelry; and (v) Nightfall at Dawn. His seventh book of poetry, The Ineluctable Spin will soon be published.In his sixth book, Season of Flowers, Bongjoh continues to focus on various aspects of the human experience across diverse circumstances, including from hypothetical reality. Interweaving art with style against a rich background of local color with flora and fauna often speaking for themselves, and through his own prism of human judgment and attitude, the poet makes ubiquitous use of flowers, especially in a metaphorical sense. His dramatic interplay of symbolism and wit enables him to invariably communicate gloomy and not-so-bright events and feelings in a positive, if not, optimistic light. His poems in this collection mirror life through a spectrum of social and psychological constructs, landmarks and ordinary incidents of a certain significance. In a lyricism reflective of the poets typical manner of expression, prototypical ideas are subtly but effectively communicated - quite often with a much needed sense of humor.

    My book tells of my return to my beloved homeland, Zimbabwe, some fifteen years after my last visit. Before arriving, I am forewarned that I will weep at the state of the country, and I share with the reader my shock and sadness at what I find-a nation once considered the breadbasket of Africa is now reduced to a basket case. I return, too, to the Harare Children's Home where I grew up, and as I am shown around, I am transported back to the early sixties, taking the reader with me as I share memories-good, bad, and amusing-of a place that I shall forever be grateful to and that will always have a very special place in my heart.

    "It's not a mere claim that Omalugo is an iconic thought and observations carefully expressed in this masterpiece. It is an anticipated, a deliberate, and a focused attempt towards making the reader think and ideologically reason like the human we supposed we are. Remove the humanity in us, we become practically like every other wild animal known to man. 'Ede' in Omalugo depicts the like of some born into fragmented and unbargained circumstance, who suffer not because of the fault of theirs but for wickedness in man. 'Agbomma' can be literally likened to ordinary beasts, people full of hate, jealousy, and greed, just for the sake of it, tribe that appropriate superiority to themselves.Omalugo is a knowledge-based book, deliberately encrypted to unlock the mental potentials in us. This hall isn't designed for the lazy mind "for they have eyes but couldn't see, and ears but couldn't hear," (Jeremiah 5:21). Knowledge is a cosmic phenomenon. It transcends sociopolitical, racial, cultural, and religious boundaries. Love, justice, and equity are natural characteristics of God we claim we have. But any spirituality, knowledge, or education that is void of the aforementioned is a mere fantasy. Truth has been chemically adulterated, morphologically mutilated, and etymologically raped or abused. This actuates the unassailable difficulty in understanding who we are amid the ubiquitous. Suffice it to say, the nature is ever willing for the minds that are sincerely willing to know. I wish you understand as you read. Success always knock at the door of those who do ask questions, who do think, and who are willing to be the change so wished."

    Should we attach any importance to our dreams? Can we teach ourselves to dream? We dream almost every night, but we often fail to grasp the importance of the message being downloaded to us from the spiritual realm.Dreams carry personal messages to us and offer us opportunities to better understand our lives to achieve greater inner harmony. Dreams help us to solve practical personal problems and show us a way forward in times of trials and persecutions. We should seek to understand dreams and ask the Lord for the meaning of each dream, aligning them to the Word of God.

    The collection of poetry is centered on a father's nostalgic feelings about a beloved departed daughter, whose death occurred in peculiar circumstances, primarily attributable to a psychosis to which she fell victim. After languishing for a very long time, she suddenly passed away while still in its throes. The expression of deep feelings of compassion and empathy enables the poet to bring into play imagery compatible with the paternal and filial love that characterizes an exceedingly warm father-daughter relationship. Although the young daughter's short-lived life is broken by the cruel hands of death, her "gloss," as reflected in her cheerful and blissful moods, prevails throughout with the strong sense of melancholy and eternal life aroused by the verse.
