Download or read book Chopchair written by Linus Asong and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extremely irritable and quick-tempered chieftain, Akendong II has 14 children, all girls, and is saddened by the fact that he has no chopchair, a male heir to his throne. Then news comes to him that his favourite wife has given birth to a pair of twins, boys. He is even more angered by the fact that he has two heirs, a source of trouble for his kingdom. To avoid his wrath, his councillors change the story, sending away one of the boys to grow in hiding. Learning of the truth about his birth 15 years afterwards, the prince in hiding returns, kidnaps the palace prince and demands his full share of the kingdom. His will is done, but at a very great cost to the chief's peace of mind and relationship with his people. This is by far the shortest of Asong's novels and the least complicated by comparison. But the conflicts, the hallmarks of his art are still there, so also is his breathtaking suspense.
Book Synopsis The Novels of Linus T Asong by : Emmanuel Doh
Download or read book The Novels of Linus T Asong written by Emmanuel Doh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is the first critical examination of the novels of Linus T. Asong, a sharp, compelling, and brutally insightful storyteller, sometimes comical yet with a knack for the distraught, disturbing, and macabre in his throbbing capture and portrayal of society as it functions or as it fails to function. Asong’s novels bring to the fore an unexpected enormous array of characters whose physical appearances and habits are depictions made concrete by potent imagistic words deployed not only to evoke vividness and plausibility, but more specifically to peek into the soul and mental uprightness of persons and society. Hence, they demonstrate the response of the oppressed, exploited, and abused in the face of dysfunctionality, social, and cultural violations and deviations. In this light, the novels are revealed to serve both as testimonies and critiques of the times in which Asong lived. This study, therefore, offers insights into one of the most prolific novelists of Southern Cameroons origins, as well as modern trends in African literature.
Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Cameroon English Usage by : Jean-Paul Kouega
Download or read book A Dictionary of Cameroon English Usage written by Jean-Paul Kouega and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book initiates the process of codification of a postcolonial variety of English, namely Cameroon English. It focuses on the present-day lexicon of this non-native variety of English. English has been in use in this territory for a long period of time and over the years, it has developed some characteristic lexical features which have not as yet been described fully. Previous researchers have been regarding linguistic innovations as cases of lexical errors or Cameroonisms; as a result, teachers and language purists have been discouraging their usage. Today, it is obvious that these innovations have come to stay; they are specific to Cameroon and therefore constitute Cameroon's contribution to the development of world language English. The book is divided into two parts. Part One gives background information on Cameroon (physical and human geography, economy and geopolitics), the language situation in Cameroon (ancestral and vehicular languages, major lingua francas and official languages) and the linguistic features of English in Cameroon (phonology, grammar and lexicology). Part Two describes the research design (textual material, method of data collection and informants) and provides a lexicographic description (spelling, word formative process, definition) of characteristic Cameroon English lexemes.
Book Synopsis Governance of Teaching Hospitals by : John A. Kastor
Download or read book Governance of Teaching Hospitals written by John A. Kastor and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What forces lead to changes in governance among medical schools and their associated teaching hospitals? To what extent do such changes affect how well those schools and hospitals do their work? In this book, John A. Kastor, M.D., focuses on the academic medical centers of the University of Pennsylvania and the Johns Hopkins University, two institutions that underwent dramatic change in governance during the late 1990s. Drawing on extensive interviews with more than three hundred administrators, physicians, and other medical professionals at Penn, Hopkins, and elsewhere, Kastor identifies the factors that influenced changes in governance at these two institutions. Chief among these, he finds, are structure, personality conflicts, and current events. This book will be of interest to administrators of teaching hospitals as well as professionals in health policy and management.

Download or read book Bleeding Red written by Bill F. Ndi and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill NDI's Bleeding Red: Cameroon in Black and White is another masterpiece from a poet with a deeply political vision. This collection of poems with Cameroon as the particular focal point is a paragon of socio-political and cultural alertness in verse that will get every reader on their toes. Bill NDI's world is fraught with topsy-turvydom. It is a world darkened by experience and a keen sense of the wrongs plaguing his beloved country. He points out, without preaching, where it all went wrong, how it can, or what it will take to, be redeemed. The acerbity of Bill NDI's criticism runs from the very first poem of the collection 'Anthem for Essingang' through "The Promise" to the very last one "Papa Ngando Yi Mimba for Camelun". What a clime characterised by a ìclan of mbokos, clan of banditsî! It is just natural that as they perpetrate ìdeath and sadnessî in his beloved fatherland, nothing but ìdisgraceî, ìgreat shameî, and ìrepudiationî awaits them for evermore.

Book Synopsis The Baron Trump Novels, and The Last President by : Ingersoll Lockwood
Download or read book The Baron Trump Novels, and The Last President written by Ingersoll Lockwood and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baron Trump novels, and The Last President, are three novels by Ingersoll Lockwood, an American lawyer and writer. The three novels are, Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger (1889), Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey (1893), and, 1900 or, The Last President (1896). The first two were written at a time when other books like Alice in Wonderland were filling a desire for fantasy children's books - but unfortunately for Lockwood, his own books would never become as popular. Until they were rediscovered in 2017, when Internet users pointed out the similarities between the character Baron Trump, and the then President. Among other things, the real life Trump's son is called Barron, Baron Trump (of the book) is prone to getting in trouble, often mentions how huge his brain his, has a personalised insult for people he meets, and lives in Castle Trump (Trump Tower). The Last President, the final novel in this edition, is more of a dystopian novel rather than a children's novel, that tells how the downfall of the American republic is brought about by the election of a populist president.

Download or read book The Collected Works of Ingersoll Lockwood written by Ingersoll Lockwood and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-09 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Works of Ingersoll Lockwood is a compilation of the literary works by the enigmatic author, showcasing a blend of political satire, science fiction, and adventure. Lockwood's writing style is characterized by a clever use of satire to critique societal and political norms of his time, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. The inclusion of innovative technologies and imaginative scenarios in his stories adds a unique element to his storytelling, reflecting the literary context of the late 19th century. Readers can expect a captivating read that delves into themes of power, corruption, and the impact of technology on society. Lockwood's attention to detail and ability to create vivid imagery make his narratives come to life on the page, engaging readers from start to finish. Ingersoll Lockwood, a lawyer and author, was known for his political and social commentary through his writing. Drawing inspiration from the tumultuous political climate of his era, Lockwood used his literary works to subtly critique the powers at play in society. His background in law provided him with a unique perspective that shines through in his writing, presenting complex issues in a digestible and entertaining manner. I highly recommend The Collected Works of Ingersoll Lockwood to readers interested in thought-provoking literature that challenges conventional thinking. Lockwood's works offer a unique blend of genres and themes that will keep readers engaged and entertained, while also sparking meaningful discussions about the society and politics of his time.

After an Introduction by Matthew Levering arguing that African Catholic theology is an important resource for the whole Church, the book contains ten chapters by African and non-African Catholic theologians. Paulinus Odozor investigates whether and, if so, how the God of Jesus Christ stands in continuity with the God known to African Traditional Religions. Paul Ọlátúbọsún Àdajà addresses faith and reason in light of the current African anthropological crisis. Tegha Nji and Valery Akoh connect Ratzinger’s idea of “pro-existence” with traditional African understandings of solidarity. Jacob Phillips compares the theologies of Robert Cardinal Sarah and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. Dennis Kasule examines the requirements of a New Evangelization for Africa, in light of the case of Uganda. Joseph Lugalambi proposes that the Catholic liturgies of Africa are in need of reform. Mary-Reginald N. Anibueze explores the Eucharist as a socio-communitarian event. Emery de Gaál reflects upon Ratzinger/Benedict’s theology of inculturation. Joseph Ogbonnaya treats Caritas in Veritate with a focus upon the case of Nigeria. Maurice Ashley Agbaw-Ebai meditates upon Ratzinger’s understanding of political power.

Download or read book Wading the Tide written by Emmanuel Fru Doh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wading the Tide is an expression of profound emotions touching on a wide range of issues-personal and political-from the birth of the Cameroon nation, her political meandering, until the state of emergency declared on the North West Province in 1992. Accordingly, Doh complains, ridicules, and pays tribute, even as he instructs and guides on timeless matters of life, all in an effort to draw attention to his country's gradual, downward spiral into anomy.
Book Synopsis Structural and Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Indigenisation by : Eric A. Anchimbe
Download or read book Structural and Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Indigenisation written by Eric A. Anchimbe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descriptions of new varieties of European languages in postcolonial contexts have focused exceedingly on system-based indigenisation and variation. This volume–while further illustrating processes and instantiations of indigenisation at this level–incorporates investigations of sociolinguistic and pragmatic phenomena in daily social interaction–e.g. politeness, respect, compliment response, naming and address forms, and gender–through innovative analytic frameworks that view indigenisation from emic perspectives. Focusing on postcolonial Cameroon and using natural and questionnaire data, the book assesses the salience of linguistic and sociocultural hybridisation triggered by colonialism and, recently, globalisation in interaction in and across languages and cultures. The authors illustrate how the multilingual nature of the society and individuals’ multilingual repertoires shape patterns in the indigenisation and evolution of the ex-colonial languages, English and French, and Pidgin English.
