Adélék Adék documents Yorbá patterns of behavior and articulates a philosophy of how to be Yorbá in this innovative study. As he focuses on historical writings, Ifá 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, Adéékó contends that being Yorbá is indeed an art and Yorbá-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural shifts as Yorbá people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697136075040,"sku":"NEW0253026490","price":36.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81xULmusfGL.jpg?v=1779383022","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/arts-of-being-yoruba-divination-allegory-tragedy-proverb-panegyric-african-expressive-cultures-0253026490","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
