ELDER REFLECTIONS BOOK I: Cultural Essays, Poetry, Excerpts and Short Stories

By Oloye Karade

This text addresses the need to have comprehensive literature stemming from experiences, travels, studies, insights and epiphanies gained by the author. The unique approach, however, is the source derives from the African based philosophy and context of Ifa, also known as Isese or Orisha. Directed more so to academia on the mid to high school to college levels the text includes essays, excerpts, poetry, and a screenplay all with the intention of introducing students and faculty to a global recognition not often included in regular curriculums nor syllabi. The text explores the authors elderhood in Ifa as a priest and his literary depths as a published writer and professor. The content brings to life the history and perception of the African experience in America but, again, through the eyes of an Ifa priest who is deeply committed to increasing literary proficiency in the black community. Written in descriptive yet comprehensive style, the text brings both the opportunity to respond to chapters and sketch pictures as both are needed to enhance reading comprehension and conceptualization.
