Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - A selection of video documentaries on Africa (filmed and edited by Gloria Emeagwali)

Dear Asonzeh,

The Yoruba Religious System  was the focus in this issue of Africa Update - years ago:

http://web.ccsu.edu/afstudy/supdt99.htm

Since then we have been enriched by numerous texts. The challenge now is for me to make a contribution in video,  and your query has inspired me to do that. 

Incidentally, yesterday, I   concluded  Paul Youngquist's  2016  masterpiece  on the great Sun Ra,

an Afro -futuristic musical icon and philosopher, born in Alabama ( and Saturn !),

who challenged  some of the theological premises of  the Abrahamic religions, and

 posited his own, in a most exuberant and dramatic way- to be matched only by Fela!

Reconceptualization of the spiritual world, and  the decolonization of  epistemology, as a whole,

 are challenging  tasks.

Dear Prof. Emeagwali,

Thanks for highlighting these teaching resources. They are truly helpful.

I teach courses on African religions for first and second year students. I am seeking for some video resourse suitable for classroom use specifically on indigenous African religion/s and woould like to know if you do have any documentary resources related to that aspect of African culture and life.

I will appreciate any assistance you are able to give in this respect.

Once more, thanks for all your great efforts in documenting African life and knowledge systems.

Best

asonzeh
