Aprašymas
This is the first English translation and commentary of the collected poems of Alhaj Yusuf Salih Ajura (1910-2004), a Northern Ghanaian orthodox Islamic scholar, poet, and polemicist known as "Afa Ajura", or "scholar from Ejura". The poems were translated from the Ghanaian language of Dagbani and Arabic, handwritten in Arabic script, and explore the author's socio-religious beliefs. In the accompanying introduction, the translator examines the diverse themes of the poems and how they challenge Tijaniyyah Sufi clerics and traditional practices such as idol worship.
