The Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River is an ancient Chinese poem created by Cao Zhi, a writer living in the state of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (c. 220-280 CE). In his tale, Cao Zhi is returning from the capital to his own land when he stops at the Luo River for a rest, where he sees a vision of the goddess so powerful that he instantly falls in love with her. Cao sees a nymph of peerless beauty “as elegant as a startled swan and supple as a swimming dragon”. Though he’s swept away by her ethereal beauty, it’s a love that isn’t meant to be. With its high production values and amazingly-detailed-multi-page foldout spreads, this is a special book that will entice art lovers of all ages.

This is the sixth title in a series of titles focussing on the oral literary tradition of various East African ethnic groups - the Maasai, the Embu and the Mbeere amongst others - published by EAEP. Okumba Miruka, particularly known for his contribution to oral literature in Kenya, sets out to contexualise his subject by first explaining about the Luo people and culture - from migratory patterns and economic activity to the concept of divinity, death, warfare and Luo cuisine and eating culture. He then approaches the oral literature of the Luo through the genres of riddles, proverbs, poetry and narratives. For each genre, he offers a general introduction, notes on style, convention, performance and social function, and a wide range of samples, or 'primary texts' with commentaries.

Bio Sam Okello is a best-selling author. He lives in Nairobi, Kenya, with his best friend, Hellen, and their two rambunctious sons, Garrie and Prince Sam Okello Jr. Synopsis Luo Nation Rising is a response to a conversation I had with Uncle Paul Oyoyo under the cool shade of a mango tree in Yimbo Usenge. On that sizzling December afternoon, the miffed Oyoyo wanted to know why the book Luo Kitgi Gi Timbegi remained the most authoritative guide on Luo ways in spite of the passage of time-which had rendered most cultural practices irrelevant and unhelpful. But was Uncle Paul really right? Reading Luo Kitgi Gi Timbegi afresh, I was blindsided by the enormous burden Luos of the past had to endure to live in harmony with the Ruoth, Ogayi, Joyath, Jonawi, Jondagla and other crazy folks in the community . Indeed, the Luo were in a situation worse than the Israelites under the punishing Levitical Laws and Islamic women and the dominant Sharia. In this riveting, politically-incorrect volume, I go to war with cultural practices that continue to hinder the emergence of a unified Luo Nation and call on the community to go back to the path charted by Ker Paul Mboya, Ker Joel Omer, Pastor Isaac Okeyo and Jaduong Joshua Rume. The hour of Luo greatness has come!

Cai Yuanpei A Musical Written in Chinese by Wang Haiping Translated into English by Ouyang Yu The topic and the theme: The New Culture Movement has a far-reaching impact in the modern history of China. Back then, the New Culture Movement, as the ideological foundation of the May Fourth Movement, played a role in ideological enlightenment and iberation. While the May Fourth Movement became the explicit state and the political form of radical revolution, its hidden state and the movement of comprehensive social forms at a deeper level are continuing, and the cultural modernising movement is also continuing as the shifting spirit and spiritual support of modernisation in China. As China is in the process of change, moving from a xiaokang society to a more affluent society, the central government has offered the challenge of great development and great prosperity that requires us to look back at history and to rethink on an ideological and cultural level. The thinking style, therefore, of Cai Yuanpei in the New Culture Movement is a typical subject.

This work draws from several interpretations and perceptions of Lou ethnic groups regarding their kinships, lineages, and the geocultural claims pertaining to their identity and sociocultural interactions among social groups and communities. It builds on the current literature and oral history to methodologically reaffirm kinships and establish ethnic lineages. Most contemporary Luo narratives come from Kenya and Uganda, in addition to those written by Western anthropologists and missionaries. None of these narratives have changed the content of the oral stories told by Luo groups and subgroups in Africa, especially those related to their lineages, ethnic affiliations, and their path of immigration from South Sudan to Tanzania, but have, instead, confirmed the history, stories, and mythology of the greater Luo groups in Africa. This book will serve to evoke intellectual curiosity among African social scientists, prompting them to conduct more research to further understanding of Luo ethnic groups’ ways of life and social interactions, as well as their contributions to the sociopolitical and economic development in the countries and regions they inhabit.
