Book Synopsis Black Caps and Red Feathers by : John Nkemngong Nkengasong
Download or read book Black Caps and Red Feathers written by John Nkemngong Nkengasong and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black Caps and Red Feathers the reader is taken into Creature's subconscious on the garbage heap where he is tenant, and where he recounts his multitudinous and gruesome experiences in Traourou's underground prisons. Ancestral Earth, set within a traditional African background, indicts Akeumbin, the king and custodian of the earth of Allehtendurih, who is caught in the dilemma of stopping a plague caused by the reckless exploitation of the earth and showing affection for his fiftieth bride. In compliance with the Princes of Earth, the women who are the principal victims, bring pressure to bear on the King who condescends to the urgency of appeasing the Ancestral Earth. The common denominator in both plays is communal grudge against irresponsible leadership and its fallouts of indiscriminate victimisation that allow for the anticipation of a new or renewed consciousness.

Book Synopsis Landscaping Postcoloniality. The Dissemination of Cameroon Anglophone Literature by : Joyce Ashuntantang
Download or read book Landscaping Postcoloniality. The Dissemination of Cameroon Anglophone Literature written by Joyce Ashuntantang and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a foundational text on the production and dissemination of Anglophone Cameroon literature. The Republic of Cameroon is a bilingual country with English and French as the official languages. Ashuntantang shows that the pattern of production and dissemination of Anglophone Cameroon literature is not only framed by the minority status of English and English-speaking Cameroonians within the Republic of Cameroon, but is also a reflection of a postcolonial reality in Africa where mostly African literary texts published by western multi-national corporations are assured wide international accessibility and readership. This book establishes that in spite of these setbacks, Anglophone Cameroon writers have produced a corpus of work that has enriched the genres of prose, poetry and drama, and that these texts deserve a wider readership.

Download or read book God's Men written by Pearl S. Buck and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youthful friends in turn-of-the-century China reunite years later in America, in this New York Times bestseller by the author of The Good Earth. This deeply felt novel tells the story of William Lane and Clem Miller, Americans who meet in China as youths at the end of the nineteenth century. Separated by the Boxer Rebellion, they’re destined to travel wildly different courses in life. From a background of wealth and privilege, William becomes a power-hungry and controlling media magnate. By contrast, Clem, whose family survived on charity growing up, is engrossed by a project—which he works on ceaselessly, perhaps naively, together with his chemist wife—to eliminate world poverty. The two wind up in America and meet again, each successful in his own area, and as similar in their intensity as they are different in their values. God’s Men is a rich and layered portrayal of lives set alight by ambition. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.
Book Synopsis Crossroads of Dreams by : Agogho, Franklin
Download or read book Crossroads of Dreams written by Agogho, Franklin and published by Spears Media Press. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossroads of Dreams is a steamy potpourri of poetry by Franklin Agogho, Jude A. Fonchenalla and M.D. Mbutoh which redefine representations of African youth through the prisms of politics, emigration and the enduring threat of underdevelopment. How would one explain the persistence of poverty and oppression in Africa amidst the superabundance of natural and human resources? In their search for answers, the poets not only chastise but also to point to a verdant and promising future – free of corruption, greed, violence and neo-colonialism. Other themes covered in the anthology include gender, identity and family ties. Animated by three distinctive styles, the eighty-eight poems in this volume will surely enrage, provoke laughter, sorrow, disgust but also hope, courage and visions of a promising Africa in all its splendour and tribulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Napoleonic Wars, many elite units served their respective masters. However, few had such an enduring yet brief history as the King’s German Legion. Recruited predominantly from Hanover, which had been invaded by the French in 1803, the men of the Legion would face many tough adventures all over Europe before returning to their homeland again. In this anonymously published memoir, the author recounts his adventures on land and sea, fighting fiercely against the Napoleonic domination of Europe from Denmark to Malta, from the mountains of Portugal to the plains of Spain. The author was present at the capture of Oporto and the battles of Talavera and Fuentes d’Oñoro, and his tales of adventure are described in pacy detail. Author — Anon Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in 1827, London, by Henry Colburn. Original Page Count – xxiv and 329 pages.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon by : Mark Dike DeLancey
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon written by Mark Dike DeLancey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. To all of this is recently added a serious terrorism problem, Boko Haram, in the north, a separatist movement in the Anglophone west, refugee influxes in the north and east, and bandits from the Central African Republic attacking eastern villages. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Republic of Cameroon.
Author :In this collection of poems Nsah Mala casts a critical compassionate gaze at the predicaments in the lives of present day Cameroonians. The poet lambasts power abuse in Cameroon and Africa. He decries the lost glory of traditional values sacrificed at the altar of ingratiation and materialism. Insalubrities are condemned, ignorance and its ramifications satirised, and wanton destruction of the environment indicted. With a fascinating richness of imagery, Mala conveys the disillusionment, bitterness and traumas of ordinary Cameroonians - young and old - debased with impunity by the lethal and sterile grip on power of the high and might. The moral depravity and human frailties mused about in this exceptionally compelling collection have no room in Mala's paradise of Cameroon.

Book Synopsis Crossing Linguistic Borders in Postcolonial Anglophone Africa by : Jemima Anderson
Download or read book Crossing Linguistic Borders in Postcolonial Anglophone Africa written by Jemima Anderson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers collected in this volume discuss applied, pedagogical and ideological issues related to language use in selected countries in post-colonial Anglophone Africa. The collection represents new voices in linguistics from Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, and is structured in four sections, covering the following themes: • languages in contact • language identity, ideology and policy • communication and issues of intelligibility • language in education The volume discusses the linguistic paradoxes and complexities that have emerged from the contact between English, (and/or) French and indigenous African languages. Some of the papers collected here discuss the characteristics, functions and peculiarities of the emerging varieties of languages that have developed in these post-colonial African States. Furthermore, the book offers empirical data on up-to-date research drawn from the expertise of budding and established scholars in the areas under discussion, and demonstrates the rich body of research that is developing in post-colonial Africa. Some of the areas covered in this volume include the linguistic products of bilingualism in Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, and new linguistic and sociocultural borders of Cameroonian Pidgin-Creole, which bridge the ideological gap between English and French speaking communities in Cameroon, unofficial language policy and language planning in the country and discourse choices in Cameroonian English. This book is an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers interested in the areas of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, discourse analysis and World Englishes.
Book Synopsis The Call of Blood by : Nkemngong Nkengasong
Download or read book The Call of Blood written by Nkemngong Nkengasong and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efenze, the President of the Board of Directors of government companies and a member of the Central Committee of the Ruling Party, eliminates his erstwhile business contractor, Sancheu, with the complicity of the latter's wife. His aim is to inherit Sancheu's widow and wealth and to forge his way into the Political Bureau of the Party. The Call of Blood is a dramatization of evil in its multifaceted dimensions including treachery, infidelity, greed, hypocrisy, double-crossing and vaulting ambition in a postcolonial society where those who wield political and financial power thrive or perish by their involvement in obscure schemes. The play is enriched by a great sense of dramatic economy and poetic style evident in the preponderant use of local imagery.
