Finitude, Crossing, Blurring Boundaries and Disrupting Tradition in Ordained by the Oracle

The book analyzes the novel Ordained by the Oracle through socio-cultural,
symbolic and anthropological frameworks. It examines funeral rituals, the
duality between the visible and invisible worlds, and the role of the oracle,
spirits and ancestors in society. The study sheds light on the notions of
space, time, myth and reality in the Akan society. It demonstrates that
literature crosses disciplinary boundaries and can be seen as a form of
anthropology. The analysis will be of interest to students and researchers in
African studies, literature, religion, culture, sociology, and anthropology.
