Synopsis The Gods of Dahomey by : Teejay LeCapois
Samira Diallo is a young woman living in Greenwich, Connecticut, where she studies at Cadmus College. As the only African-American gal on the swim team, Samira wows them with her prowess. Opposing her is her rival Lynn Wellington, the blonde queen of the swim team. Lynn sets out to expose Samira, and discovers that she's much more than she seems. As it turns out, Samira has extraordinary powers, and was once one of the Gods and Goddesses of Dahomey ( present-day Benin ). The Gods of West Africa are back, and they've definitely got major plans for the beautiful, wayward Samira, and the rest of Mankind. Opposing the West African Gods are their ancient enemies, the Primordial Ones, and their mortal agents. Will the modern world survive this Divine conflict ?

Synopsis Dahomean Narrative by : Melville Jean Herskovits
This new edition, published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding by Melville Herskovits of the Program of African Studies at Northwestern University, brings back into print one of the classics in scholarly analysis and translation, written by one of the cultural anthropology. When this book was first published in 1958, Melville luminaries of American Herskovits, with his wife and collaborator, Frances, had spent over Twenty years studying the social networks, language, and oral traditions of the peoples of West Africa and their descendants in the New World. Dahomey, the major site of their African work, is in the country now known as the Republic of Benin. This volume, had two goals: in its collection of 155 narratives, to provide basic texts of the analytical side, to provide a general theory of mythology using new oral narratives and looking at their tradition culminating in a survey of different prevailing Theories of myth. The result is a wide-ranging collection, culled from an entire narrative tradition, that remains unique among anthropological publications.

Synopsis Africa's Ogun by : Sandra T. Barnes
This landmark work of ethnography explores the enduring, global worship of the African god of war—with five new essays in this new, expanded edition. Ogun—the ancient African god of iron, war, and hunting—is worshiped by more than forty million adherents in Western Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. This rich, interdisciplinary collection draws on field research from several continents to reveal Ogun’s dramatic power and enduring appeal. Contributors examine the history and spread of Ogun throughout old and new worlds; the meaning of Ogun ritual, myth, and art; and the transformations of Ogun through the deity’s various manifestations. This edition includes five new essays focusing mainly on Ogun worship in the new world. “[A]n ethnographically rich contribution to the historical understanding of West African culture, as well as an exploration of the continued vitality of that culture in the changing environments of the Americas.” —African Studies Review
