Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was born of the desire to share my feelings and concerns and that of others who are so much concerned about how the continent of Africa has remain dormant for centuries in terms of development and progress. Being an African and having seen the forward movement, progess and development of the other continent around the world, you begin to wonder why it has not been replicated in the Afriican continent. The continent of Africa has great resources more than many other continent in the world, both human and natural resources. However, these resources has not benefited the common people of the continent. The West, Arabs and recently Asia has enjoyed these resources more than Africans themselves. From the slave trade where the carted away our able men and women, to resources control through colonization and recently through brain drain. Our specialists and well qualified has migrated to other continents such as Europe, America and Asia leaving the continent dry in terms of qualified personnel who can man and managed the resources of the continent. These has contributed to poverty lack of quality leadership in many areas that would have moved the continent forward. After world war, America implemented Marshal plan that was used to transform and develop the Western nations. However, this kind of joint policy has not come to the mind of the West to implement in Africa where they have benefited much. Rather the continent of Africa is seen and address as the dark continent. I therefore, feel that bringing to mind of many both Africans and the West, the things we need to address to move Africa forward. I believe that if some of the points looked at in this book and other brilliant ideas by others are implemented, then the continent of Africa can emerge out of its aclaimed darkness and move forward like other continent. Let the world and African leaders learn from the history of the past and invent new ways of doing things so that they can move Africa forward in a progressive path. Strongly I believe if this is done, the Story of the continent of Africa can change like that of China. The West should desist from ripping Africa off, abstain from aiding and abetting corruption and bad leadership in the continent. The people of Africa should fight and resist wicked and corrupt political leaders, and bring to death tribal - nepotic and support of politics of clientism.

Download or read book Mobility between Africa, Asia and Latin America written by Ute Röschenthaler and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade connections and cultural exchange between Africa and the rest of the global South have existed for centuries. Since the end of the Cold War, these connections have expanded and diversified dramatically, with emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil becoming increasingly important both as sources of trade and as a destination for African migrants. But while these trends have attracted growing scholarly attention, there has so far been little appreciation of the sheer breadth and variety of this exchange, or of its deeper social impact. This collection brings together a wide array of scholarly perspectives to explore the movement of people, commodities, and ideas between Africa and the wider global South, with rich empirical case studies ranging from Senegalese migrants in Argentina to Lebanese traders in Nigeria. The contributors argue that this exchange represents a form of ‘globalization from below’ which defies many of the prevailing Western assumptions about migration and development, and which can only be understood if we consider the full range and complexity of migrant experiences. Multidisciplinary in scope, Mobility between Africa, Asia and Latin America is essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences interested in the interconnected economic and social make-up of the global South.

Download or read book Chinese Minorities at home and abroad written by Michael Dillon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classification of ethnic identities (minzu) remains controversial in China. Categories established in the 1950s are still used by the state to administer minority areas, despite the existence of a complicated web of subjective identities which potentially undermines efforts to use these categories effectively. This book offers a new, and sometimes unusual, perspective on ethnic relations in China, and on the interactions between China and other cultures. Two major themes run through the book: the classification of ethnic minorities in China by the state, and the implications of this practice; and the way in which China and the Chinese are seen by outsiders as well as insiders. The contributors, whose research is all based on fieldwork with the relevant communities, are from a wide range of backgrounds and are currently based in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and Germany. The subjects of their research are the politics of minority classification in the People’s Republic of China; questions of identity in Xinjiang; Kazakhstani perceptions of China and the Chinese; Chinese Muslims in Malaysia; and the growing Chinese diaspora in Africa. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavery, both in its historical and modern forms, continues to be a matter of undiminished political and social relevance. This is mirrored by an increasing interest in scholarly research as well as by critical statements from within the field of contemporary art. The present volume is designed to bring together artists and scholars from various fields of study discussing trauma and visuality, or more precisely, memory and denial of traumatic history within visual discourses. The purpose of this project is to put the phenomenon of contemporary art production dealing with the issue of slavery into a wider, interdisciplinary and transcultural context. The book covers current case studies focusing on different media and including visual, literary and performative approaches of dealing with the history of slavery in West-African, American and European cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “… incredibly unique premise [where] the romance and excitement unfolds and of course the wonderful literature; it is rare to find erotic novels these days that stand out in originality…” “… series not confined to bedroom heat … helicopter chases, sex as explosive as the blazing guns of male rivalry … rare and unique. [One would be] hard-pressed to find an author in this genre that weaves the intricate themes this author does!” Roman wants no harem. But the harem relentlessly seeks him. He finds himself wedged firmly between three women and a baby. Shana takes to the hills, frightened of Roman’s dark sexuality. But no sooner has she left Roman than Grieg/Phoenix, a dead demon from Shana’s past, is marking time on Roman’s doormat, out for a war over Shana. As is Marie, too, whose pregnancy Roman still keeps a secret from Shana. Roman: I loved owning women. Then I found my woman. But she would never be owned, not even by the gods. When she leaves me, I find myself waging wars over her with her dangerous admirer. Shana: Roman scares me in every way, and the fear excites me. I’m brainless in his arms, brainless just from thinking about him. He makes me navigate so many labyrinthine passages and secret doors that frighten me. My body kneels and weeps for him. My common sense tells me to flee ... And I do. But will the star-crossed lovers manage to stay apart?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blazing passion, unrestrained power, perilous secrets... Shana is determined to personally destroy her enemy or die in the attempt. Roman can’t know. Roman keeps his demons locked away from his beloved Golden, afraid she’ll despise him if she knows the truth. The rebellious, sensuous, provocative and intense relationship between Shana and Roman is ablaze again. When Shana readies herself to accept her love for Roman, he drops a bomb on her lap: her abuser of ages ago is hunting her, and is the man who’d kidnapped and detained Roman. Furious, she turns her hunter into the hunted - she goes after her tormentor in his “fortress with modern security gadgets” country mansion, armed for victory. For Shana, it’s a do or die. But Roman mustn’t know of her mission. Roman has his own Pandora’s box of secrets that threaten to destroy their relationship yet must be revealed. But first, he has to protect Shana from his rival, a dangerous international criminal who keeps eluding both Europol and Interpol. Who will manage to eliminate their common enemy first?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman, bound by duty, has a major plan that’s sure to tip the scales all the way. But tip it in whose favour? They’re both billionaires running their global empires, which cancels out the material attraction altogether. He’s driven and headstrong, but so is she. Another stalemate. Yet when it comes to her body, Roman knows he blissfully owns it to hell and back. If it wasn’t for her overprotective father who starts snooping on Roman’s private affairs. Affaires that will devastate his daughter, not Roman. So he has to stop the father. Roman: I’m about to hurt her. Badly. I move closest and breathe her name. Softly cup her cheek in my palm, gentling her, readying her for the pain. Her lips, made for my kisses, get the pad of my thumb, tenderly, and her fingers fold around my wrist. Her other palm softly flattens on my chest, my lethal Huskies lock with my blues. She knows, oh fuck, she knows I'll hurt her, but remains silent, torching me with her gaze. But I’d rather kill our love than be with my empress bound in the chains of a dead man. Shana: From his touch on my skin, his gaze at me, the love pulsing off his pores, I know he has something horrible in store for me. Despite, or perhaps because of, the lust burning in his eyes for me. Each yearning blink tautens the tension as we stand facing each other, breathing each other’s air, our bliss threatened by lurking darkness. The man I’d wanted all my life, the man who restored my womanhood, becomes my executioner. Publisher Note: This book contains adult sexual material suitable for adults only.

Book excerpt: *io9's New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books You Need to Put On Your Radar This Fall From the modern master of alternate history and New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledove, Through Darkest Europe envisions a world dominated by a prosperous and democratic Middle East—and under threat from the world's worst trouble spot. Senior investigator Khalid al-Zarzisi is a modern man, a product of the unsurpassed educational systems of North Africa and the Middle East. Liberal, tolerant, and above all rich, the countries and cultures of North Africa and the Middle East have dominated the globe for centuries, from the Far East to the young nations of the Sunset Lands. But one region has festered for decades: Europe, whose despots and monarchs can barely contain the simmering anger of their people. From Ireland to Scandinavia, Italy to Spain, European fundemantalists have carried out assassinations, hijackings, and bombings on their own soil and elsewhere. Extremist fundamentalist leaders have begun calling for a "crusade", an obscure term from the mists of European history. Now Khalid has been sent to Rome, ground zero of backwater discontent. He and his partner Dawud have been tasked with figuring out how to protect the tinpot Grand Duke, the impoverished Pope, and the overall status quo, before European instability starts overflowing into the First World. Then the bombs start to go off. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Heart of Darkness written by Joseph Conrad and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart of Darkness is often considered the world’s best short novel. The book serves as a bridge between the 19th century and modernism, an adventure tale revolving around the ambiguity of themes such as truth, morality, and evil. Joseph Conrad witnessed the European exploitation of the Congo with his own eyes. He once sailed up the Congo River himself to locate a countryman at a trading station deep within the country – even though this man wasn't named Kurtz. The goal and enigma of the journey have become synonymous with this name, one of the most unforgettable fictional characters of our time. JOSEPH CONRAD [1857–1924] was born in Ukraine to Polish parents, went to sea at the age of seventeen, and ended his career as a captain in the English merchant navy. His most famous work is the novella Heart of Darkness [1899], adapted into a film by Francis Ford Coppola in 1979 as Apocalypse Now.

Club's fifteen best books of 2020 |A Sunday Times best book of the year Selected by students across France to win the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, David Diop’s English-language, historical fiction debut At Night All Blood is Black is a “powerful, hypnotic, and dark novel” (Livres Hebdo) of terror and transformation in the trenches of the First World War. Alfa Ndiaye is a Senegalese man who, never before having left his village, finds himself fighting as a so-called “Chocolat” soldier with the French army during World War I. When his friend Mademba Diop, in the same regiment, is seriously injured in battle, Diop begs Alfa to kill him and spare him the pain of a long and agonizing death in No Man’s Land. Unable to commit this mercy killing, madness creeps into Alfa’s mind as he comes to see this refusal as a cruel moment of cowardice. Anxious to avenge the death of his friend and find forgiveness for himself, he begins a macabre ritual: every night he sneaks across enemy lines to find and murder a blue-eyed German soldier, and every night he returns to base, unharmed, with the German’s severed hand. At first his comrades look at Alfa’s deeds with admiration, but soon rumors begin to circulate that this super soldier isn’t a hero, but a sorcerer, a soul-eater. Plans are hatched to get Alfa away from the front, and to separate him from his growing collection of hands, but how does one reason with a demon, and how far will Alfa go to make amends to his dead friend? Peppered with bullets and black magic, this remarkable novel fills in a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. Blending oral storytelling traditions with the gritty, day-to-day, journalistic horror of life in the trenches, David Diop's At Night All Blood is Black is a dazzling tale of a man’s descent into madness.

Book excerpt: An interdisciplinary account of the life of Johannesburg, South Africa's "global south city" Anxious Joburg focuses on Johannesburg, the largest and wealthiest city in South Africa, as a case study for the contemporary global South city. Global South cities are often characterised as sites of contradiction and difference that produce a range of feelings around anxiety. This is often imagined in terms of the global North’s anxieties about the South: migration, crime, terrorism, disease and environmental crisis. Anxious Joburg invites readers to consider an intimate perspective of living inside such a city. How does it feel to live in the metropolis of Johannesburg: what are the conditions, intersections, affects and experiences that mark the contemporary urban? Scholars, visual artists and storytellers, all look at unexamined aspects of Johannesburg life. From peripheral settlements to the inner city to the affluent northern suburbs, from precarious migrants and domestic workers to upwardly mobile young women and fearful elites, Anxious Joburg presents an absorbing engagement with this frustrating, dangerous, seductive city. It offers a rigorous, critical approach to Johannesburg revealing the way in which anxiety is a vital structuring principle of contemporary life. The approach is strongly interdisciplinary, with contributions from media studies, anthropology, religious studies, urban geography, migration studies and psychology. It will appeal to students and teachers, as well as to academic researchers concerned with Johannesburg, South Africa, cities and the global South. The mix of approaches will also draw a non-academic audience.

Download or read book My Traitor's Heart written by Rian Malan and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2012-03-11 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essay collection that offers “a fascinating glimpse of post-apartheid South Africa” from the bestselling author of My Traitor’s Heart (The Sunday Times). The Lion Sleeps Tonight is Rian Malan’s remarkable chronicle of South Africa’s halting steps and missteps, taken as blacks and whites try to build a new country. In the title story, Malan investigates the provenance of the world-famous song, recorded by Pete Seeger and REM among many others, which Malan traces back to a Zulu singer named Solomon Linda. He follows the trial of Winnie Mandela; he writes about the last Afrikaner, an old Boer woman who settled on the slopes of Mount Meru; he plunges into President Mbeki’s AIDS policies of the 1990s; and finally he tells the story of the Alcock brothers (sons of Neil and Creina whose heartbreaking story was told in My Traitor’s Heart), two white South Africans raised among the Zulu and fluent in their language and customs. The twenty-one essays collected here, combined with Malan’s sardonic interstitial commentary, offer a brilliantly observed portrait of contemporary South Africa; “a grimly realistic picture of a nation clinging desperately to hope” (The Guardian).
