Conclusion -- Epilogue / by Milton Krieger. 520 $a The idea that human beings are inextricably bound to one another is at the heart of this book about African agency, especially drawing on the African philosophy Ubuntu, with its roots in human sociality and inclusivity. Ubuntu's precepts and workings are severely tested in these times of rapid change and multiple responsibilities. Africans negotiate their social existence between urban and rural life, their continental and transcontinental distances, and all the market forces that now impinge, with relationships and loyalties placed in question. Between ideal and reality, dreams and schemes, how is Ubuntu actualized, misappropriated and endangered? The book unearths the intrigues and contradictions that go with inclusivity in Africa. Basing his argument on the ideals of trust, conviviality and support embodied in the concept of Ubuntu, Francis Nyamnjoh demonstrates how the pursuit of personal success and even self-aggrandizement challenges these ideals, thus leading to discord in social relationships. Nyamnjoh uses a popular Ivorian drama with the same title to substantiate life-world realities and more importantly to demonstrate that new forms of expression, from popular drama to fiction, thicken and enrich the ethnographic component in current anthropology. 546 $a Preface in English and French. 650 0 $a Ubuntu (Philosophy) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007009138 650 0 $a Philosophy, African. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100854 650 0 $a Communalism $z Africa. 650 0 $a Communalism $z CoÌte d'Ivoire. 651 0 $a Africa $x Social conditions $y 21st century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114538 651 0 $a CoÌte d'Ivoire $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Communalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869870 650 7 $a Philosophy, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060851 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Ubuntu (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744357 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a CoÌte d'Ivoire. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219323 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116062225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FEA560ACF83511E784964A6B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
