Reseña del libro "The Emevor People: My Personal Memoirs and Jottings (en Inglés)"
This book is an exposition of the sociocultural past, present, and futuristic preview of the Emevor-speaking people of the Niger-Delta, Nigeria. The work is the product of the author's reminiscences and introspection into the historiography, geography, economy, language, education, and the multifarious rich sociocultural milieu of the people. It deals with the traditional customs, beliefs, totems, astronomy, time and event reckoning, marriages, traditional religions, ancestral worship and Christology, oracle divination, obituary and obsequies, initiation into Ehwa womanhood rites and sabbatical fattening of brides, festivals, identity of people, governance, heroes/heroines and modern pacesetters, and the changes provoked by modernity. By using simple language, graphic descriptions, and vivid and clear explanations of the phenomena and events, the author has taken the reader through the maze, as it were, with the needed compass to navigate through these labyrinths.
