Description

Edited by Eric M. Bridges, Sheila Smith McKoy, and LaJuan Simpson-Wilkey, <i>The Wisdom of If&aacute;: An Ancient Paradigm for the Twenty-First Century and Beyond</i> explores Yoruba spirituality and the complex ways in which the acknowledgement of If&aacute; as a wisdom source can be used to address the needs of humanity in the twenty-first century and beyond. Through rituals and practices that honor nature&#39;s rhythms, the contributors explore how If&aacute; guides us towards sustainable coexistence with our environment, recognizing that our well-being is intricately linked to the health of the planet. The contributors also show how, in the realm of environmental stewardship, If&aacute; offers a holistic worldview that recognizes the interconnectedness of all life forms. This book offers discussions on environmentalism, gender, and politics that connect across the bounds of time, through the history, mythology, and lived realities of the tradition. As an ancient wisdom tradition that has enriched West African cultures, If&aacute; offers a roadmap for modern civilization to charter new paths for humanity and the challenges that we face.
