This book is a multiple resource for beginning students in liberal studies who need hands-on approach in studying African literature, art, religion, percussion, politics, and mythology.

In spite of its diverse scope, the book has highlighted cogent issues, such as marriage, nomenclature, hierarchy, and everyday living, in Africa that are different from Western cultures. Discussing primary motifs in these issues exposes scholars to ancient practices, in relation to realities of the modern times.

Additionally, the author has deployed rhetorical strategies such as narration, examples, compare and contrast, etc., to delineate the intersections between sacredness and profanity in African traditions. Finally, the book parades paintings and illustrations from the authors archive. These pictures are prints from large oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, which makes the book a collectors item.
