Man findet hier nicht nur eine komplexe Welt göttlicher Wesen, die letztlich aus einen kosmisch ausgedeuteten Monotheismus heraus entspringt, hier trifft man z. B. auch in Verbindung mit Seelen- und Ahnenvorstellungen auf einen ausgeprägten Gruppen- und Individualtotemismus, wie er in seiner westafrikanischen Ausprägung wahrscheinlich einzigartig auf der Welt ist und den man daher in der Vergangenheit auch streng abgegrenzt hat gegenüber z. B. dem Schamanismus Sibiriens oder Kanadas. Interessant ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch der religiöse Aspekt, den die Töpferei bei den Akan besitzt. Er ist wahrscheinlich das Überbleibsel einer vorzeitlichen Vorstellungswelt, die mit Sicherheit nicht nur bei den Akan oder den in ihnen aufgegangenen Kulturen vorhanden gewesen sein dürfte oder vielleicht es auch heute noch ist. Trotz aller Berührungen und Vermischungen mit religiösen Vorstellungen nicht-akanischen Ursprungs, einschließlich der weitgehenden Christianisierung bzw. Islamisierung der heutigen Akan-Gesellschaft, haben dennoch zahlreiche traditionelle Elemente bis heute überlebt und tragen zu jener kulturellen und religiösen Vielfalt bei, wie sie für das heutige Westafrika nördlich des Äquators und südlich der Sahara ein unverkennbares Charakteristikum ist. Das oberste Wesen in der traditionellen Religion der Akan besteht in der göttlichen Triade Nyame-Nyankopong-Odumankoma, d. h. es handelt sich hier um eine einzige Gotthei...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=1746446 ...

Product Description
This book aims at creating an exploratory forum for further academic discussion and research in the cross-cultural approach to human rights.Our purpose is to redirect human rights research along a cross-cultural path, and by so doing, legitimize human rights in African societies, a legitimacy to be based on the historical and cultural collectivity of Africans, one that derives from their local experience, one that they can relate to and make sense of, and therefore respect, honor and promote without suspicion or skepticism.This is not to suggest a fresh attempt to redefine human rights or to develop a new concept of rights; this is to anchor the existing human rights within the cultural milieu of the African people.This way, the carriers of African cultures may have a reason to appreciate, respect and recognize human rights as truly universal. It is our hope that this book will serve as pioneer in creating a regional platform for the cross-cultural analysis and interpretation of African cultural values as a bedrock of the international human rights norms. ...

Excerpt: Otumfuo Nana Prempeh I, whose original throne name was Kwaku Dua III Asamu (1870 - May 12, 1931) was an Asantehene ruler of the Oyoko Abohyen Dynasty of the Akan state of Ashanti. He ruled from March 26, 1888 until his death in 1939, and fought the War of the Golden Stool against the British in 1893. He was captured and pardoned by Robert Baden-Powell. The British exiled him to the Seychelles in 1896, along with Yaa Asantewaaand other members of the Asante government. In 1874, the British had declared the Gold Coast, located south of Asante, a British colony. In 1888 the Ashante enthroned 16-year-old Agyemang Prempeh I as king of the Asante, and he assumed the stool name Kwaku Dua III. Prempeh's kingship was beset by difficulties from the very onset of his reign. He tried to defend against British intentions of bringing Asante under its protectorate. When Prempeh I was asked by the British to accept a protectorate over his state, he rejected it and stated in his reply that the Governor had misjudged the situation. Ashantehemaa Yaa Akyaa, Prempeh I's mother and queen mother since 1884, had through strategic political marriages built the military power to secure the Golden Stool for her son. Prempeh I began an active campaign of reunification of the Asante. The British offered to take the Ashanti Empire under their protection, but Prempeh I refused each request. In one of his replies Prempeh stated, "My kingdom of...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15750096 ... Read more

Zusammen mit den Benue-Kongo-Sprachen bilden sie den Südzweig des Volta-Kongo. Die rund 75 Kwa-Sprachen werden von 21 Mio. Menschen in der Elfenbeinküste, Ghana, Togo, Benin und Südwest-Nigeria gesprochen. Nachbarn im Norden sind die Gur-Sprachen, im Osten die zentral-nigerianischen Sprachen, im Westen die Mande- und Kru-Sprachen. Alle benachbarten Sprachgruppen gehören also ebenfalls zum Niger-Kongo. Die bedeutendsten Kwa-Sprachen sind: Der Name „Kwa" wurde 1885 von Gottlob Krause eingeführt. Die Zusammenfassung der Kwa-Sprachen erfolgte zunächst nach typologischen Kriterien (Anwesenheit von Labiovelaren, Tonsprachen, Fehlen fast aller morphologischen Elemente wie Klassenaffixe und Derivationsmorpheme). Für Diedrich Westermann (1927) bildete das Kwa eine Untergruppe des Westsudanischen, für Joseph Greenberg (1963) einen Primärzweig des Niger-Kongo. Er teilte die Kwa-Sprachen in acht Untereinheiten und integrierte die zentralen Togo-Sprachen („Togo-Restsprachen", heute Na-Togo und Ka-Togo) in die Kwa-Gruppe.
