Title

Traditional Yoruba society and mechanisms of conflict management, prevention and resolution in "The Gods are not to Blame" by Ola Rotimi

Abstract

Abstract: The importance of social harmony is addressed in literature, particularly African literature, in which it has a prominent place. In The Gods are not to Blame by Olawale Gladstone Emmanuel Rotimi, a Nigerian playwright better known as Ola Rotimi, we have a description of endogenous mechanisms and practices that aim to create a harmonious living environment in the community and with its surroundings. Through the study of the play, which presents life in Kutuje, a Yoruba community, the author celebrates the efficiency of the mechanisms established by Africans, which are of various kinds in the management, prevention and resolution of conflicts. Indeed, he highlights the traditional political, social and religious mechanisms that promote social cohesion. These mechanisms can be of two kinds: coercive or non-coercive. In the context of this work, we will quote some key features of traditional Yoruba society in the first section. Then, we will focus on mechanisms developed in that society ranging from the endogenous coercive aspects to the non-coercive mechanisms depicted by the author. Through a literary and analytical approach, we will show how the advocates for a return to endogenous mechanisms for social cohesion.
