Afridentity
This book discusses in seven essays the glorious years of Africa marked by technological advancements, the present Africa discussed in terms of poverty, hunger, wars, disease. It explains in details the effects of slave trade and colonializm on Africa and presents what is African culture or characterizes the African identity. The whole book is written in the light of the Afridentity project, a word coined by the author to represent that aspect of African philosophy that seeks to rediscover lost values in African culture and universalize them.
Africa in Fragments
Africa in Fragments is one of a few texts to tackle many topics on the position and challenges of Africa, its peoples, and its diaspora in the world today. It is part of a new genre that makes old and new academic debates on the problems and predicaments of Africanness accessible to a broad spectrum of audiences while outlining and defending the author's own compelling arguments. This book is also one of a few texts breaking new ground by bringing nation, continent, and diaspora into conversation. It weaves together analyses of Nigerian, African, and global African topics in an informed but polemical style, challenges readers to rethink their preconceptions on the topics, and offers profoundly new insights into these issues.
Africa in the World & the World in Africa
A collection of essays by some of the most prominent and influential scholars, writers and critics of the African arts and humanities, including Abiola Irele, Wole Soyinka, Tim Crib, Femi Osofisan and more. Though literary critics and theorists constitute about half of the contributors to the volume, there is a special focus on interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives. This is particularly pertinent to the wide and complex theme of the collection: Africa in the world and the world in Africa.

The Church as Salt and Light
At once prophetic, pastoral, and personal, this book applies the symbols of 'salt' and 'light' as ecclesiological images for reimaging the African Church for today and tomorrow. The proposal of this book is to reconsider the path towards abundant life for God's people in the challenging context of African continent, and through the agency of African Christianity. The contributors stress the necessity of de-Westernizing African Christianity and ask these fundamental questions: What is the face of Jesus inAfrican Christianity? What is the face and identity of the Church in Africa? What positive imprint is Christianity leaving on the lives and societies of African Christians? Does the Christian message have the potential of positively affecting African civilization as it once did in Europe? What is the relevance and place of African Christianity as a significant voice in shaping both the future of Africa and that of world Christianity?
Across the Atlantic
Across the Atlantic is a fascinating and lucid reminiscence of a series of events and results: the age of love in Africa, the reign of terror, the capture and commoditization of human beings, their shipment to the Americas, the incessant and onerous exactions meted on them, the brutalization and cruelties they experienced, the survival and tenacity of African values, the struggle for freedom, and emancipation, and the triumphant return to Africa.

Dialogue as an Imperative to Ecumenical and Interreligious Problems in Nigeria
The Church is the Sacrament of Communion with God and unity among all men (Cf. Vatican II doc. L.G. 1). Christ prayed for this unity amongst his adherents in accordance with the unity between him and God the Father (Cf. Jn. 17: 21). This unity will be a sign by which the outside world is to believe in him, hence calling on the Church to rise up to this demand. Efforts were made by the Church to respond to this demand, but it was at the Second Vatican Council that the search for unity became an imperative. With this Council, the Church acknowledged the possibility of Salvation for the members of other Christian traditions and people of other religions. The Church has done a lot to promote thi...
