Paperback. Zustand: New. Yoruba culture has been a part of the Americas for centuries, brought over by the first slaves and maintained in various forms ever since. In Oduduwa's Chain, Andrew Apter locates that culture, both spatially and analytically, and offers a Yoruba-focused perspective on rethinking African heritage in Black Atlantic Studies. Focusing on Yoruba history and culture in Nigeria, Apter applies a generative model of cultural revision that allows him to identify formative Yoruba influences without resorting to the idea that culture and tradition are fixed. Apter shows how the association of African gods with Catholic saints can be seen as strategy of empowerment, explores historical locations of Yoruba gender ideologies and their manifestation and change in the Atlantic world, and more. He concludes with a rousing call for a return to Africa in studies of the Black Atlantic, resurrecting a critical notion of culture that allows us to go beyond the mirror of Africa that the West invented.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Yoruba culture has been a part of the Americas for centuries, brought from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade and maintained in various forms ever since. In Oduduwas Chain, Andrew Apter explores a wide range of fascinating historical and ethnographic examples and offers a provocative rethinking of African heritage in Black Atlantic Studies. Focusing on Yoruba history and culture in Nigeria, Apter applies a generative model of cultural revision that allows him to identify formative Yoruba influences without resorting to the idea that culture and tradition are fixed. For example, Apter shows how the association of African gods with Catholic saints can be seen as a strategy of empowerment, explores historical locations of Yoruba gender ideologies and their variations in the Atlantic world, and much more. He concludes with a rousing call for a return to Africa in studies of the Black Atlantic, resurrecting a critical notion of culture that allows us to transcend Western inventions of African while taking them into account. Oduduwa's Chain is renowned historian and anthropologist Andy Apter's provocative statement on how scholars of the Black Atlantic should think through African heritage. Based on a lifetime of study of Yoruba history and culture in Nigeria, and filled with fascinating ethnographic and historical detail, the book argues that West African cultural frameworks--when critically reformulated--illuminate important New World historical trajectories. Apter applies a generative model of cultural revision to syncretism, creolization, ritual, gender, and ethnogenesis in the Americas, thereby identifying formative Yoruba influences without reifying its culture and tradition. Apter thus establishes the conceptual ground for recovering African genealogies in the Black Atlantic, not merely as objects of imperial ideology, or of transnational elite intellectual production, but as frameworks of collective empowerment in West Africa and the Americas.
