Opis

This book offers an interpretation of Yoruba people's affective§responses to an adult Yoruba male with a 'deviant' hairstyle. The work, which§views hairstyles as a form of symbolic communicative signal that encodes§messages that are perceived and interpreted within a culture, provides an§ontological and epistemological interpretation of Yoruba beliefs regarding§dreadlocks with real-life illustrations of their treatment of an adult male§with what they term irun were (insane person's hairdo). Based on§experiential observations as well as socio-cultural and linguistic analyses,§the book explores the dynamism of Yoruba worldview regarding head-hair within§contemporary belief systems and discusses some of the factors that assure its§continuity. It concludes with a cross-cultural comparison of the perceptions of§dreadlocks, especially between Nigerian Yoruba people and African American§Yoruba practitioners.§§
