Based on this type of "ethnographic studies of West...
We all know, and possibly even love, the game of football. It provides ample lessons, not the least of which is its propensity to serve as a metaphor for life.
To this end, we can consider two forms of football: rules-based football and laws-based football. The latter, laws-based, is the form with which we are most familiar and in which...
It has become a common spectacle in Ghana to find, year after year, images of the Asantehene kneeling before a priest of the Church of England, the Anglican Church, for prayers.

Worse, they study nothing about themselves, let alone the cultures they were required by tradition to maintain and carry forward.

The Mis-Educated Than His Ancestors, the METHA, has a very strong affinity for claiming to have done everything cultural, or traditional, all by himself. If not by himself then he knows who did it by name and by calling and he also knows exactly when it was done. Take...
