THE BIRTH OF A NEW VOICE --regarding five bestsellers--Introduction to Yoruba Philosophy, Religion and Literature, The Covenant of the Earth, The Political Philosophy of Wole Soyinka and Other Narratives, The Melodrama of The Last Word and Literatures of the African Diaspora. When Introduction to Yoruba Philosophy, Religion and Literature was baptized at the African-American Institute of North-Eastern University, Boston in 1998, it was a huge success. It was a huge success because it opens a novel vista, accentuated by an unorthodox but original voice on Yoruba/African philosophy. The number of the attendees also evidences its huge success.

This is a summary of five bestsellers published between 1998 and 2004.

(PRWEB) June 20, 2004 -- Published and launched at the same time with the tripartite book is The Covenant of the Earth. As the Introduction to Yoruba Philosophy, Religion and Literature is the primary and the tripartite book on Yoruba world-view--(weltanschauung), so also The Covenant of the Earth is the first book on Yoruba Narrative Philosophy--by a "handicapped" wordsmith.

When The Political Philosophy of Wole Soyinka and Other Narratives was launched in 2001, at Harvard Coop, Harvard University, Cambridge, it was a huge success. It was successful because it lends its pathos and sublimity to Wole Soyinka, the pioneer of the political culture in Africa and the first literary philosopher to be awarded Nobel Prize for literature in 1986. It is book dedicated to the scion of the earth who will be celebrating his seventieth (literary) birthday this year.

When The Melodrama of The Last Word was baptized in 2003, at Harvard Coop, Harvard University, Cambridge, it was a huge success. It was a big success because it is the first multicultural novel of magic realism (552 pages) to be written by a writer of the African descent, plus its battlefield thunder on omniscient romance and unconditional love.

When Literatures of the African Diaspora was launched in 2004, at Harvard Coop, Harvard University, Cambridge, it was an amazing success. The success was amazing due to the fact that it is the first book on the Diasporic Africans whose research was carried out in the six continents of the world in search of the avant-garde writers and people of the African descent. It is the first nonfiction to call on Africans and Africans in Diaspora to equate NAMES with LOVE, for love will make us know our names as well as enable us develop our philosophy, religion and literature, believing that Africa is the cradle of mankind. It is the first textbook to couch a philosophical aphorism on each of the fifty-five countries that will hopefully take AFRICAN UNION'S bull by the horns.
