Book excerpt: "The research explored the purpose, similarities and differences between the Homowo festival in Ghana and the American Thanksgiving festival by using historical, religious, social, economic, cultural, moral and political reasons to find answers. The study used data from participant observations, libations and poems, internet articles, YouTube videos, music, cookbooks, novels and journal articles to interrogate why a group of people would celebrate a festival by annually giving thanks to a deity, on the same subject. I examined the elements that have made these two festivals survive and still remain relevant in contemporary times despite rapid social transformation and urbanization, and measure the contribution of these festivals to their societies and countries. The research found that both the Ga people and the pilgrims (puritans) are a migratory group. Secondly, both groups experienced famine, hunger and death in their migration story. Third, both groups embarked on massive food production exercises which resulted in a bumper harvest which led to feasting and thanksgiving. This led to the construction of the two festivals, Homowo (hooting at hunger) and Thanksgiving. It would be interesting to research further into the role these two festivals can play in the fight against climate change, and to help in positive climate adaptive measures"--Page v.

Book Synopsis The Bed Book of Short Stories by : Lauri Kubuitsile
Download or read book The Bed Book of Short Stories written by Lauri Kubuitsile and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bed, dressed in hand sewn quilt or threadbare blanket, may in and of itself be memorable, but it is what happens in the bed - the sex and lovemaking, the dreams, the reading, the nightmares, the rest, giving birth and dying - which give 'bed' special meaning. Whether a bed is shared with a book, a child, a pet or a partner, whether lovers lie in ecstasy or indifference, whether 'bed' relates to intimacy or betrayal, it is memories and recollections of 'bed', in whatever form, which have triggered the writing of these thirty stories by women from southern Africa. Well known writers Joanne Fedler, Sarah Lotz, Arja Salafranca, Rosemund Handler and Liesl Jobson will delight, but you will discover here new writers from Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia, each with a unique voice as they cast light on the intimate lives of women living in this part of the world and the possibilities that are both available to and denied them. The BED BOOK of short stories - some quirky and tender, others traumatic or macabre - is the perfect companion to take to bed with you, to keep you reading long into the night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Africans, the dream of travelling to Europe or America represents a burning lifetime ambition that they would do anything (well, almost) to achieve. So what is it really like out there? What is the story behind the rosy images of the west that are beamed to Africa on television, in movies and in the glossy magazines? What is the reality behind the grim stories we hear at times from our friends and relatives abroad? Just how hard, or easy, is it out there? This book is a collection of a number of articles written by the author and seeks to address these issues. Written in a conversational style, it is an attempt to provide an interesting, witty, yet serious insight into the good, the bad and the ugly sides of life abroad, and raises several issues that should engage the attention of the contemporary African whether at home or abroad.
Download or read book GIZO-GIZO! written by Emily Williamson and published by Sub-Saharan Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hausa culture, you always begin telling a story in the same way: The storyteller says, “Ga ta nan ga ta nanku!” “I am about to begin!” And the children respond, “Tazo Mujita!” “We are all ears!” Using story as the primary learning, teaching and engagement tool, the Zongo Story Project strives to elevate proficiencies in oral, written, and visual forms of literacy; promote the knowledge building of local history, local culture and local contemporary concerns; and lay the crucial foundation for the acquisition of vital twenty-first century critical thinking skills. The conceptual framework for this project originated out of a larger, community-based initiative called the Zongo Water Project, whose mission is to use water as a way to improve the quality of life for the Zongo. Working closely with local teachers, Emily Williamson carried out a series of educational workshops at the Hassaniyya Quranic School in the summers of 2012, 2013, and 2014 to teach students about local water and environmental concerns. Employing the story as the foundational element, Emily engaged students in dialogue, shared readings, performances, writing exercises, and visual art, culminating in community drama performances and original folktales. The illustrations and text of this book grew directly out of the work produced in these workshops.

He realises that they will only defeat their real enemies if they are united. Chekai wins a presidential essay writing competition and becomes a peace ambassador.
