Publisher's Synopsis
Kolanut: Food of the Gods is the most complex and comprehensive compilation of kolanut's significance and symbolism. It is the most modern analysis of the intricacies and complexities of kolanut communion. The book presents unprejudiced and unambiguous views that are easy to grasp within the dogma of any religion, not just African traditional religion. Where possible, the author uses logic and general knowledge to lift the veil off certain rituals and opens the culture of kolanut to the dynamics of cultural evolution and social realities. The Culture of Kolanut is an improved and public edition of M.O. Ene's extensive essays on kolanut communion. "Ene has written a lively and instructive reference book that belongs to every library and coffee table. [The book] is a gold mine of facts about the kolanut, its myths and realities. It would be difficult to overstate the influence this book will have on those who seek to understand the custom and especially the doxology of correctly consecrating the kolanut and the dos and don'ts."
