Intermediate Yoruba offers an effective guide to mastering Yoruba quickly and easily, written in the proper Yoruba-Oyo, by author Abraham Ajibade Adeleke, who was born and raised in Oyo Alaafin. Yoruba grammar is best taught in the context of the Yoruba culture. For this reason, Intermediate Yoruba covers various Yoruba cultural traditions, names, greetings, and oral traditions, as well as the use of myths, fables, and idiomatic expressions. It includes a vocabulary list, along with everyday Yoruba conversational words and phrases that, in some cases, sound like their English, French, and Spanish equivalents. This comprehensive volume is ideal for both classroom instruction and private teaching sessions. Additionally, Intermediate Yoruba includes a series of case studies and juxtaposed ethnographic materials to cover Yoruba culture thoroughly. Intended to contribute to the development of the positive study of African languages and cultures, this volume serves as a valuable resource to anyone wishing to learn about Yoruba.

The Puritan Ideology of Mobility: Corporatism, the Politics of Place, and the Founding of New England Towns before 1650 examines the ideology that English Puritans developed to justify migration: their migration from England to New England, migrations from one town to another within New England, and, often, their repatriation to the mother country. Puritan leaders believed firmly that nations, colonies, and towns were all “bodies politic,” that is, living and organic social bodies. However, if a social body became distempered because of scarce resources or political or religious discord, it became necessary to create a new social body from the old in order to restore balance and harmony. The new social body was articulated through the social ritual of land distribution according to Aristotelian “distributive justice.” The book will trace this process at work in the founding of Ipswich and its satellite town in Massachusetts.
