There is a culturally significant way of being Yoruba that is
expressed through dress, greetings, and celebrations-no matter
where in the world they take place. Adeleke Adek documents Yoruba
patterns of behavior and articulates a philosophy of how to be
Yoruba in this innovative study. As he focuses on historical
writings, Ifa divination practices, the use of proverbs in
contemporary speech, photography, gendered ideas of dressing well,
and the formalities of ceremony and speech at celebratory
occasions, Adeeko contends that being Yoruba is indeed an art and
Yoruba-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural
shifts as Yoruba people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.
