Black Critics and Kings: The Hermeneutics of Power in Yoruba Society Paperback - 1992
by Andrew Apter
From the rear cover
In the summer of 1990 I returned to Ayede, the Ekiti Yoruba town and kingdom where I had conducted dissertation research nearly six years earlier (1982-84) and which appears in the ethnography of this study. The more structural concerns of my dissertation had given way to the interpretive themes which emerged only in the reworking of my material; thus I confronted and earlier epistemology which had guided my research and which to some extent still informs it.
