Download or read book Harmattan written by Michael D. Jackson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all experience qualms and anxieties when we move from the known to the unknown. Though our fulfillment in life may depend on testing limits, our faintheartedness is a reminder of our need for security and our awareness of the risks of venturing into alien worlds. Evoking the hot, dust-filled Harmattan winds that blow from the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea, this book creatively explores what it means to be buffeted by the unforeseen and the unknown. Celebrating the life-giving potential of people, places, and powers that lie beyond our established worlds, Harmattan connects existential vitality to the act of resisting prescribed customs and questioning received notions of truth. At the book's heart is the fictional story of Tom Lannon, a graduate student from Cambridge University, who remains ambivalent about pursuing a conventional life. After traveling to Sierra Leone in the aftermath of its devastating civil war, Tom meets a writer who helps him explore the possibilities of renewal. Illustrating the fact that certain aspects of human existence are common to all people regardless of culture and history, Harmattan remakes the distinction between home and world and the relationship between knowledge and life.

Book excerpt: Harmattan tells the story of Haoua, a young girl growing up in the Republic of Niger. Spirited independent and intelligent, she has benefitted from a loving and attentive mother. Haoua worships her elder brother, Abdelkrim, a serving soldier who sends money home to support the family. But, on his last home visit, Abdelkrim quarrels with their father accusing him of gambling away their money and being the cause of their mother's worsening health. As civil strife mounts in Niger, Haoua begins to fear for Abdelkrim's safety. Her mother's illness is much more serious than anyone had recognised and her father has threatening plans. Approaching her twelfth birthday, Haoua is vulnerable for the very first time in her life...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection, Nigerian poet Tanure Ojaide adopts the persona of a homeboy griot returning from travels to be confronted by the devastation wrought by oil greed, politics, and technology upon his beloved Niger Delta; its environment, civilisation and people. It becomes a tragedy of corruption, suffering and dispossession in sharp contrast to the eco-sensitive animism of his youth. Angry, elegiac and lyrical, this collection allows the reader insight far beyond the reach of journalism or prose.

A military general sits in one of Malagueta's prison cells, awaiting his execution. He has just failed to overthrow the government. In the same land, over two centuries ago, the wife of a formerly enslaved man takes her first steps towards freedom.

Book Synopsis Harmattan, A Wind of Change by : Carolyn Johnston
Download or read book Harmattan, A Wind of Change written by Carolyn Johnston and published by Radcliffe Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of empire, a romantic story and the social life and culture of an elite British colony - these are the fascinating themes to emerge from this unique collection of letters and diary entries. It is an inside story of Northern Nigeria's independence and of a clash of cultures. Tim Johnston's family was rich in patrician imperial tradition; his father and two uncles were in the 'heaven-born' Indian Civil Service and Tim spent his early years in the Punjab. After his degree at Oxford and the Oxford Colonial Administrative Service course he joined the British Colonial Service in Northern Nigeria. Berrice came from a very different background - a broken home and work in a dress-shop at the age of 14. War service provided a powerful and romantic link: Tim became a war hero and decorated fighter pilot, Berrice joined the ATS and they were married in 1942. Tim returned to Northern Nigeria after the war and was marked as a high flyer. He served a successful apprenticeship as cadet, District Officer and Permanent Secretary to the first Premier of Northern Nigeria, the redoubtable Ahmadu Bello, ultimately becoming Deputy Governor - vital roles in the path to independence. But Berrice could never adjust to the role of 'senior wife' in the social life of the colony. Her inner feelings of self-doubt could lead to aloofness, even a 'frostiness'. She confessed to Lady Sharwood-Smith, the Governor's wife, 'I am not naturally a very social person'. Carolyn Johnston has woven together a series of delightful and revealing letters and diary entries from her parents which show both the social tensions of colonial life and illuminate Northern Nigeria on the brink of independence. 'Harmattan, A Wind of Change' is a rich treasure-house for scholars studying the end of empire and for readers who want to know about the personal impact of empire.
