{"product_id":"9781634985833","title":"Fundamentals of Balondo Society","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFundamentals of Balondo Society\u003c\/em\u003e is a good book that is unapologetically written from a Balondo-centered perspective by Aja Oro, a “Morondo Kpaa” or a true son of the soil, whose undying resolve had been to transfer his people’s narrative from the oral to the written culture. In a bid to transfer such information from an anterior source to the newer posterior one, the effort entailed was largely realized through the use a thematic approach, to outline short but detailed accounts of the cultural traditions of his people as well as their migratory patterns across three predominantly West African maritime countries: the Congo, Calabar, Nigeria and then the South-west littoral coast of Cameroon. Interestingly enough, all of the details that have been documented in the book are structured around one main philosophy, which is the empowering of Balondo-bakonja society to still own and protect their \u003cstrong\u003eDiscourse\u003c\/strong\u003e, so that they can continue to be the\u003cstrong\u003e Center\u003c\/strong\u003e from where all references to Balondo emanates before being disseminated elsewhere. In this context, both the sanctity and authenticity of Balondo-bakonja phenomena will continue to remain inviolable in this world of competing ideas from diverse cultures that are embroiled in the intellectual politics of world domination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookstand Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056736616688,"sku":"9781634985833","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781634985833_p0.jpg?v=1763681401","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781634985833","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
