The global energy scenario is undergoing an unprecedented transition. In the wake of enormous challenges-such as increased population, higher energy demands, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, depleting fossil fuel reserves, volatile energy prices, geopolitical concerns, and energy insecurity issues-the energy sector is experiencing a transition in terms of energy resources and their utilization. This modern transition is historically more dynamic and multidimensional compared to the past considering the vast technological advancements, socioeconomic implications and political responses, and ever-evolving global policies and regulations. Energy insecurity in terms of its critical dimensions-access, affordability, and reliability-remains a major problem hindering the socioeconomic progress in developing countries.

Hail Orisha! A Phenomenology of a West African Religion in the Mid-Nineteenth Century

Hail Orisha! A Phenomenology of a West African Religion in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
Hail Orisha! A Phenomenology of a West African Religion in the Mid-Nineteenth Century By Peter McKenzie
1997 | 600 Pages | ISBN: 9004109420 | PDF | 16 MB
Orisha worshippers who were not subjected to forced migration to the Americas in the nineteenth century remained their own masters, inhabiting cities, towns and farm villages in their West African kingdoms. This study uses documentation from Yoruba writings and from the written record of European missionaries to describe the various facets of their religious life. Arranged in the form of a phenomenology, the work deals with such matters as the veneration of the environment; carved images of the divine; the orisha celebrated in festival, worship and sacrifice; systems of divination; female and male religious specialists; and the protean divinities themselves. The comprehensive use of archival material will ensure the abiding value of this historical picture of the orisha, useful for comparisons with the present day.Peter R. McKenzie, Ph. D. (1953) in Church History, University of Edinburgh, is former Head of Department of Religion, University of Leicester, England. He has published extensively on Phenomenology and History of Religion and West African Religious History including Inter-religious Encounters in West Africa (Leicester, 1976).
