Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the political economy of the Sisala of Northern Ghana, showing how the creation of their society was influenced from the very beginning by the world system -- primarily through slave raiding. Mendonsa shows how their society continues to be influenced by the global economy today, and how such contacts with the outside world are altering their ability to survive in the savanna as farmers. The two main foci of the book are: (1) How outside influences (agricultural inputs, consumer goods, cash-cropping, and urban markets) have affected and changed the relationships between elders, women, and young men, as elders attempt to control the labor of their subordinates within the context of the gerontocracy that functions as the political economy of their society. (2) Dependency on petroleum, petroleum-driven machinery, imported fertilizer, and other chemicals. This is a tenuous position for Sisala farmers, many of them being subordinates -- women and young men -- who have become involved in cash-cropping. Mendonsa proposes a more sustainable form of farming in animal-traction technology and gives data to show how such technology and organic methods such as composting, green manuring, and intercropping can provide a sustainable base for the ongoing nature of Sisala society.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 1951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of African Cultural Heritage in North America provides an accessible ready reference on the retention and continuity of African culture within the United States. Our conceptual framework holds, first, that culture is a form of self-knowledge and knowledge about self in the world as transmitted from one person to another. Second, that African people continuously create their own cultural history as they move through time and space. Third, that African descended people living outside of Africa are also contributors to and participate in the creation of African cultural history. Entries focus on illuminating Africanisms (cultural retentions traceable to an African origin) and cultural continuities (ongoing practices and processes through which African culture continues to be created and formed). Thus, the focus is more culturally specific and less concerned with the broader transatlantic demographic, political and geographic issues that are the focus of similar recent reference works. We also focus less on biographies of individuals and political and economic ties and more on processes and manifestations of African cultural heritage and continuity.

Download or read book Modernisation of Chinese Culture written by Jana S. Rošker and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors are grateful to the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for its generous support of their research work which enabled them to publish the present book. The present book carefully maps the Chinese modernisation discourse, highlighting its relationship to other, similar discourses, and situating it within historical and theoretical contexts. In contrast to the majority of recent discussions of a “Chinese development model” that tend to focus more on institutional then cultural factors, and are more narrowly concerned with economic matters than overall social development, the book offers several important focal points for many presently overlooked issues and dilemmas. The multifaceted perspectives contained in this anthology are not limited to economic, social, and ecological issues, but also include political and social functions of ideologies and cultural conditioned values, representing the axial epistemological grounds of modern Chinese society. 2011 was the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. The centennial is relevant not only in terms of state ideology, but also plays a significant role within academic research into Chinese society and culture. This historic turning point likewise represents the symbolic and concrete linkages and tensions between tradition and modernity, progress and conservatism, traditional values and the demands for adjustment to contemporary societies. The book shows that Chinese transition from tradition to modernity cannot be understood in a framework of a unified general model of society, but rather through a more complex insight into the interrelations among elements of physical environment, social structure, philosophy, history, and culture.

Book excerpt: Designed to expose readers to some of the most important critical thinking by anthropologists across a wide range of issues, this anthology combines a variety of works that examine Latin American cultures from a number of different perspectives. Very accessible and perceptive, it covers a wide range of topics -- beginning with a general overview of Latin America (observations about size of land mass, geography, population size and growth rates) and then highlighting some of the cultural characteristics that permit us to talk about "Latin America" -- balancing the incredible cultural diversity with some of the overriding features that give at least the appearance of "similarity."
