Book Synopsis Batuku Dance and Creole Language by : Katherine Carter

Book excerpt: Cape Verde, an island country 450 kilometers off the coast of Senegal, West Africa has been swept into globalization just as every other nation in the twenty-first century. Through in-depth interviews, this research looks at what Cape Verdeans have to say about women's lives, their economic and personal difficulties, and the ways that women do not accept their fate but actively engage to challenge their surroundings. Globalization has benefited the wealthy in Cape Verde while it has increased or at least helped to maintain difficulties for lower income people. The people in Cape Verde, however, do not think globalization is necessarily bad. They believe that a different type of globalized economy is possible where all classes can benefit. It is shown that globalization, as it currently exists, is a negative influence and women are especially badly affected. Job shortages causing a large migration of men leave women worse off economically as they become heads of households and primary income providers for themselves and their children. Women try to overcome their economic problems but do not express an understanding of the greater picture of why men leave the country. Women have several mechanisms to cope with and resist their difficulties. One is through dancing and singing the batuku. The words hold deep meanings for women as they sing about problems with men, famine, drought, lack of jobs, and criticisms against the government. Women also cope by expressing proverbs and sayings in Creole. Similar to words from the batuku, women voice these sayings rather than speaking directly about a problem. They select proverbs to say what they can't say directly when talking about infidelity, low wages and lack of child support. This research offers a reconceptualization of "resistance." It shows that women's experiences demand that we rethink the term resistance and it shows that we must broaden the term beyond a more common understanding of resistance through public and collective activities. This research provides insight into women's lives as well as explores how the changing world economy has shaped personal stories and how women are confronting these changes.

This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cabo Verdean Women Writing Remembrance, Resistance, and Revolution: Kriolas Poderozas documents the work and stories told by Cabo Verdean women to refocus the narratives about Cabo Verde on Cabo Verdean women and their experiences. The contributors examine their own experiences, the history of Cabo Verde, and Cabo Verdean diaspora to highlight the commonalities that exist among all women of African descent, such as sexual and domestic violence and media objectification, as well as the different meanings these commonalities can hold in local contexts. Through exploring the literary and musical contributions of Cabo Verdean women, the Cabo Verdean state and its transnational relations, food and cooking traditions, migration and diaspora, and the oral histories of Cabo Verde, the contributors analyze themes of community, race, sexuality, migration, gender, and tradition.

Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "The phenomenon of globalization has influenced the African social and cultural landscape in a variety of ways. Yet its effect on women's lives has not figured prominently in the scholarship on Africa. ... In this volume, scholars deconstruct important issues and provide perspectives on understanding and transforming women's experiences in Africa. ... Some of the issues highlighted include the education of girls in Kenya, women's role in agriculture and crop production in Africa, women as culture mediators in music, the participation of women in sports, conservation of biodiversity and women in resource management in East Africa, and the informal sector as a survival strategy in Nigeria."

Book Synopsis Contours of Citizenship by : Esther Ngan-ling Chow
Download or read book Contours of Citizenship written by Esther Ngan-ling Chow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly globalized world of collapsing economic borders and extending formal political and legal equality rights, active citizenship has the potential to expand as well as deepen. At the same time, with the rise of neo-liberalism, welfare state retrenchment, decline of state employment, re-privatization and the rising gap between rich and poor, the economic, social and political citizenship rights of certain categories of people are increasingly curtailed. This book examines the complexity of citizenship in historical and contemporary contexts. It draws on empirical research from a range of countries, contexts and approaches in addressing women and citizenship in a global/local world and covers a selection of diverse issues, both present and past, to include immigration, ethnicity, class, nationality, political and economic participation, institutions and the private and public spheres. This rich collection informs our understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities for women in the persistence and changes within the contours of citizenship.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Race by : Kamari Maxine Clarke
Download or read book Globalization and Race written by Kamari Maxine Clarke and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kamari Maxine Clarke and Deborah A. Thomas argue that a firm grasp of globalization requires an understanding of how race has constituted, and been constituted by, global transformations. Focusing attention on race as an analytic category, this state-of-the-art collection of essays explores the changing meanings of blackness in the context of globalization. It illuminates the connections between contemporary global processes of racialization and transnational circulations set in motion by imperialism and slavery; between popular culture and global conceptions of blackness; and between the work of anthropologists, policymakers, religious revivalists, and activists and the solidification and globalization of racial categories. A number of the essays bring to light the formative but not unproblematic influence of African American identity on other populations within the black diaspora. Among these are an examination of the impact of "black America" on racial identity and politics in mid-twentieth-century Liverpool and an inquiry into the distinctive experiences of blacks in Canada. Contributors investigate concepts of race and space in early-twenty-first century Harlem, the experiences of trafficked Nigerian sex workers in Italy, and the persistence of race in the purportedly non-racial language of the "New South Africa." They highlight how blackness is consumed and expressed in Cuban timba music, in West Indian adolescent girls' fascination with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and in the incorporation of American rap music into black London culture. Connecting race to ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, and religion, these essays reveal how new class economies, ideologies of belonging, and constructions of social difference are emerging from ongoing global transformations.

Book Synopsis The Logics of Globalization by : Anandam P. Kavoori
Download or read book The Logics of Globalization written by Anandam P. Kavoori and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theoretical language and methodological tools needed for thinking through issues of global media representation. It brings students of international communication into a conversation about global culture and communication through the presentation of a conceptual language to discuss the 'logics of globalization' (i.e. nationalism, modernism, post-modernism/colonialism, capitalism and terrorism). Anandam Kavoori then uses this language to critically analyze various media texts. The choices of texts are eclectic-representing old and new media-and chosen for the wider 'logic' they help animate. Most importantly, they reorient the study of global media texts from the formal to the popular, examining film, music, gaming, cell phone, travel journalism, and performance texts. The book invites students to understand the complexity of global media representation-at the heart of which is the search for identity.
