Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Letwich grew up in the wild beauty of Tanganyika’s Central Region. After graduating from university in England, she decides to return to Africa to rediscover the land that has haunted her dreams. She also seeks to fulfil her destiny as a woman, and put behind her years of frustration and shame. She meets Michael, a young architect, and embarks with him on an affair which will bring joy and disabling pain. Set in East Africa in the turbulent years just after independence, this is a story of longing, of passionate engagement, and of harsh disillusion. “Africa comes vibrantly alive in these pages.” “A love story with the complexity of the real.” “An exotic, feminist road movie.” Jonathan Bower was born and educated in Ireland. He has worked in Africa and in the Arab world in radio, television, films, and as a journalist. He currently divides his time between Ireland, Provence, and North Africa.

Clark, Mina Caulfield Davis, E. Franklin Edwards, Eugene Genovese, Ulf Hannerz, Charles S. Johnson, Leroi Jones, and Charles Keil.The second volume, Old Memories, New Moods, contains essays on the roots of black protest; the background and character of the Civil Rights Movement; interpretations of the impact and significance of Black Power, and varied views on changing self-images of being African American.
Book Synopsis African Aftermath by : Wessel Ebersohn
Download or read book African Aftermath written by Wessel Ebersohn and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the closing years of the apartheid regime many who resisted the regime were killed. Among them was Davie Mbau, a young activist. The killing was witnessed by his very attractive sister, Ntombi, and her American lover, Jonathan Sheldrake.A year after Davie's killing, the authorities decide to neutralise Ntombi's husband, a powerful anti-apartheid figure, by publicly humiliating him. They do this by arresting Ntombi and Sheldrake under the Immorality Act that forbids sex across the colour line. The arrest is carefully planned to take place while Ntombi and Sheldrake are in bed together. Jonathan is deported so, without her partner in the act, Ntombi is released. Despite this, the authorities have achieved their goal. Ntombi's husband is now much less effective, he is seen as a cuckolded older man who should perhaps not have been married to a young woman. Within hours of her release, Ntombi and her child by Jonathan disappear without a word to anyone.The love between Sheldrake and Ntombi is real and deep. This was not just a third-world adventure for him. For the next thirty years he tries to discover what happened to her. Her friends are all certain that she must have been murdered by agents of the regime. When he is finally able to return to the country to search for her, he is horrified to find a danger as great, and from a completely unexpected direction, as the one he faced in apartheid years. He could not anticipate how his presence and the truth about Ntombi is troubling to some very powerful individuals.Eccentric prison psychologist Yudel Gordon, an acquaintance of Ntombi's husband, and Abigail Bukula, his close friend in the Department of Justice, find themselves drawn into the centre of a potentially tragic and very dangerous confrontation.

Book Synopsis Mfecane Aftermath by : Carolyn Hamilton
Download or read book Mfecane Aftermath written by Carolyn Hamilton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that the period of social turbulence in the nineteenth century was a consequence of the emergence of the powerful Zulu kingdom under Shaka has been written about extensively as a central episode of southern African history. Considerable dynamic debate has focused on the idea that this period – the ‘mfecane’- left much of the interior depopulated, thereby justifying white occupation. One view is that ‘the time of troubles’ owed more to the Delagoa Bay Slave trade and the demands of the labour-hungry Cape colonists than to Shaka’s empire building. But is there sufficient evidence to support the argument? The Mfecane Aftermath investigates the very nature of historical debate and examines the uncertain foundations of much of the previous historiography.
Book Synopsis European Atrocity, African Catastrophe by : Sir Martin Ewans
Download or read book European Atrocity, African Catastrophe written by Sir Martin Ewans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a broad consensus among those who are concerned with Africa that the plight of the continent is approaching the catastrophic. Partly the roots of the problem are historical, stemming from the exploitation and colonisation of the continent by European powers. An appreciation of the history of the relationship between Europe and Africa, a major episode of which this book examines, is indispensable to an understanding of the continent's present predicament. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries King Leopold II of the Belgians established a colony in Africa, which, as the Congo Free State, became a byword for unremitting exploitation and widespread atrocities. This book describes the creation, the development and the collapse both of this regime and of the Belgian colony that replaced it. Conclusions are drawn about the nature of European colonialism in Africa and the consequences for Europe itself.

Book Synopsis TRIUMPH OF RACISM by : Emmanuel Neba-Fuh
Download or read book TRIUMPH OF RACISM written by Emmanuel Neba-Fuh and published by Miraclaire Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emmanuel Neba-Fuh in this comprehensive chronological compilation and thorough narrative of the history of white supremacy in Africa provide an unflinching fresh case that African poverty - a central tenet of the “shithole” demonization, is not a natural feature of geography or a consequence of culture, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent – a practice that continues into the present. A brutal and nefarious tale of slave trade, genocides, massacres, dictators supported, progressive leaders murdered, weapon-smuggling, cloak-and-dagger secret services, corruption, international conspiracy, and spectacular military operations, he raised the most basic and fundamental question - how was Africa (the world’s richest continent) raped and reduced to what Donald J. Trump called “shithole?” By V. Mbanwie

Book excerpt: "William Albert Sinclair, born a slave in 1858, grew up in South Carolina during the tumultuous years of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Influenced by his childhood experiences, Sinclair spent his life fighting for the rights of African Americans and was an active member of the Constitution League, and their successor, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Inspired by the scholarship and activism of T. Thomas Fortune and W. E. B. Du Bois, Sinclair published The Aftermath of Slavery: A Study of the Condition and Environment of the American Negro, one of the most complete analyses of slavery and the years immediately following emancipation. First published in 1905, The Aftermath of Slavery provided a historical analysis of the late nineteenth century that underscored the existence of black resistance to white domination during slavery and Reconstruction"--University of South Carolina Press website.
