In Global Yoruba, renowned scholar Toyin Falola covers the history, people, traditions, environment, religion, spirituality, cosmology, culture, and philosophy of one of Africa's largest cultural groups, the Yoruba, all while considering the people's relationship with their immediate and distant neighbors. Falola examines how the Yoruban people have adapted to their environment and tapped it to (re)invent their civilization, shape their culture and traditions, and inform their socioeconomic relations with their neighbors. These interactions have guided the Yoruba philosophy that developed over time, expressing their conviction regarding society's evolution and the place that humans occupy within it. This web of knowledge can present a more coherent account than any other text yet produced regarding Yoruba civilization. This volume demonstrates how global dynamics have been adopted in the creation of a Yoruba community across different times and spaces.
