Here comes the most expansive book written on the Yoruba that will endure many generations to come. It took time and enormous amount of resources to put together, but it is worth the wahala, not as a contribution to resume, a useless measuring scale that only uncommitted scholars subscribe to, but to real people and their real culture, in fluids of water and blood. This long book follows, very quickly, The Encyclopedia of the Yoruba, but both should be read together. Next in line is Yoruba Writers Since the Nineteenth Century, another massive book.
CULTURE AND CUSTOMS OF THE YORUBA
Pan-African University Press, 2017, pp. 1040.

This innovative anthology presents an interdisciplinary approach to Yorùbá culture and customs. Written by Yorùbá experts on all continents, the seventy-five chapters in the volume employ a variety of multi-faceted perspectives to provide a detailed study of the Yorùbá people with insights from anthropology, arts, language and linguistics, literature, history, religion, sociology, philosophy, psychology, criminology, law, technology, medicine, pharmacy, engineering, economics, education, political science, music, theater, popular culture, cultural studies, migration and diaspora studies, gender, etc. Each chapter addresses the changes that have taken place in traditional culture. This blend between traditional culture and modifications to such culture gives a balanced and authentic picture of what can be regarded as culture and customs in present-day Yorùbá society.
