First appearing as a series of letters to a local newspaper, “The Life Story of Me, Segilola” caused a sensation in Lagos in the late 1920's. The lifelike autobiography of a repentant courtesan, it regaled the reader with risqué escapades, pious moralising and vivid evocations of urban popular culture. The narrative and the commentary that sprang up around it in the Yoruba press offer a unique view of life in colonial Lagos. Today it is recognised as I.B.Thomas's work and hailed as the first Yoruba novel in a major African literary tradition. This volume presents the edited Yoruba text with translation, selected newspaper correspondence, and an introductory essay showing how the text emerged from the Yoruba print culture of the time. Print Culture and the First Yoruba Novel has won the Paul Hair Prize 2013 !

"Gathers texts exploring the relationship between Santeria and esthetics. Essays by artists, scholars, and religious leaders are dedicated mostly to Cuba, with one essay on Brazil and others on various Caribbean artists. Interest in the subject, currently a frequent theme in specialized art publications, is growing among artists who feel related to Afro-American culture in general. Despite some irregularity in the book's content, probably due to the complexity of themes, this work serves as a good introduction to the topic from a contemporary perspective. Profusely illustrated; contains a useful glossary of terms and generous notations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
