Book excerpt: 2022 Reprint of the 1949 Edition. Illustrated. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Carrington was a Baptist Missionary to the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this work the author argues that the "talking" of the African drum is in effect a language, and not simply a form of signaling.

Book Synopsis Mobile Phones: The New Talking Drums of Everyday Africa by : Mirjam de Bruijn
Download or read book Mobile Phones: The New Talking Drums of Everyday Africa written by Mirjam de Bruijn and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'We cannot imagine life now without a mobile phone' is a frequent comment when Africans are asked about mobile phones. They have become part and parcel of the communication landscape in many urban and rural areas of Africa and the growth of mobile telephony is amazing: from 1 in 50 people being users in 2000 to 1 in 3 in 2008. Such growth is impressive but it does not even begin to tell us about the many ways in which mobile phones are being appropriated by Africans and how they are transforming or are being transformed by society in Africa. This volume ventures into such appropriation and mutual shaping. Rich in theoretical innovation and empirical substantiation, it brings together reflections on developments around the mobile phone by scholars of six African countries (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Mali, Sudan and Tanzania) who explore the economic, social and cultural contexts in which the mobile phone is being adopted, adapted and harnessed by mobile Africa.

Book Synopsis From Oral to Literate Culture by : Peter A. Roberts
Download or read book From Oral to Literate Culture written by Peter A. Roberts and published by Kingston, Jamaica : Press University of the West Indies. This book was released on 1997 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the movement from an oral to a literate culture in the West Indies with the English language as central to this movement. The period examined, from the start of the first English settlement in the islands up to the time of Emancipation, was the period which established the foundations of West Indian society. The study relates the movement towards a literate culture to the development of methods of communication in the plantation slave society, to general literary and intellectual development, and to the expansion of formal education. Literacy in English is regarded as a barometer of social development because the English language was sustained internally and externally as the language of those who ruled and, contrary to fundamental notions associated with the power of literacy, it maintained privilege within certain sectors of the society. There is no other study which provides the interdisciplinary approach of this work in accounting for the development of literate culture in the West Indies.
Download or read book The Walking Drum written by Louis L'Amour and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis L’Amour has been best known for his ability to capture the spirit and drama of the authentic American West. Now he guides his readers to an even more distant frontier—the enthralling lands of the twelfth century. Warrior, lover, and scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous challenge, danger, and revenge. Across Europe, over the Russian steppes, and through the Byzantine wonders of Constantinople, Kerbouchard is thrust into the treacheries, passions, violence, and dazzling wonders of a magnificent time. From castle to slave galley, from sword-racked battlefields to a princess’s secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable fortress of the Valley of Assassins, The Walking Drum is a powerful adventure in an ancient world that you will find every bit as riveting as Louis L’Amour’s stories of the American West.

The book takes a new look at traditional language skills from a modern perspective, focusing on their importance as communication tools for the twenty-first century learner of the English language. The reality of technology as part of the modern life is also brought to bear on the discussions in the book, showing that its application to reading can serve to fast-track the mastery of reading efficiency.
