Maryknoll annouces new book

Maryknoll Instute of African Studies has added to its list of publications the book “African Cultural Domains: Life Cycle of an Individual.” This follows on its earlier publication on African cultural themes. As the previous book, this book is a product of the responses of students from the institute coming from different parts of the world.

This book, the first in a series of four, focuses on the activities, events, attitudes and rituals of an individual from birth to death and beyond. The link with the “African Cultural Knowledge” book is that the cultural knowledge (themes) gives meaning to the activities, events, attitudes and rituals that unfold in a person’s life as presented in this book.

Copies of the book can be obtained for $10 at www.africancultures.org.
