In _Global Yorùbá,_ renowned scholar Toyin Falola covers the
history, people, traditions, environment, religion, spirituality,
cosmology, culture, and philosophy of one of Africa's largest cultural
groups, the Yorùbá, all while considering the people's relationship
with their immediate and distant neighbors.
Falola examines how the Yorùbán people have adapted to their
environment and tapped it to (re)invent their civilization, shape
their culture and traditions, and inform their socioeconomic relations
with their neighbors. These interactions have guided the Yorùbá
philosophy that developed over time, expressing their conviction
regarding society's evolution and the place that humans occupy within
it. This web of knowledge can present a more coherent account than any
other text yet produced regarding Yorùbá civilization.
This volume demonstrates how global dynamics have been adopted in the
creation of a Yorùbá community across different times and spaces.
