Coles Biték: He From Whom Death Ran at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
What would you do if you couldn't die no matter how much danger you're in? If you couldn't stop until your life's mission is accomplished? How would you negotiate divine mandates and human adventures? Biték is a condensed cross-cultural tale of a man with a divine assignment: to save his village from the hands of colonisation. This is an expository account of European colonisation's religious beliefs, laws, blatant violations and historical aggressions geared towards eradicating the cultural identity of Biték's African ancestors. Moreover, this book demonstrates the developed political, social, spiritual and religious system Biték's African ancestors had before violations of their natural rights in all kinds. As an exhumation of a great African tradition buried by European colonisation, Biték presents a vibrant appeal for the protection and preservation of world heritage.
