This book showcases six prominent ritual festivals of Ile-Ife , Nigeria: namely O ranfe , Itapa, Oris alase , O barese, Oris akire and O walare . It reveals the hidden and enduring beauties of Ife ritual festivals, providing rare information about the region, the acclaimed origin place and spiritual capital of Yoruba people. Through profound analysis of each of the festivals, it affords information that is unusual in both depth and breadth. The text also provides pace for the views of the practitioners of culture-specific literary-ethnographic scholarship. It, however, pushes the critical edges of its engagement with the ritual festivals and represents an important record of enduring cultural legacies with the unusual capacity to inform about Ife rituals in a way that serves the interest of Yoruba cultural studies in general.
