Book excerpt: The rapidity of the Mohammedan movement in its sweep westward is highly significant. A succession of conquerors came to the front-their names need not bother us-and by 668 what is now Tripoli was a Moslem state. Algeria went down with little resistance and the Arab hordes swept onward to the Pillars of Hercules. The story is told that Akba, who raided Morocco, rode his horse far out into the surf and cried, "Great God, if I were not stopped by this raging sea, I would go to the nations of the west, preaching the unity of they name and putting to the sword those who would not submit."-from Chapter II: "Strongholds of Mohammedanism"When missionary Cornelius Patton returned to Boston from an extended trip to Africa just before World War I, his friends and colleagues assumed he would write a book about his trip. "That," Patton assures us in the "Personal Word" that opens The Lure of Africa, "is exactly what I shall not do." Fortunately, Patton's friends and colleagues prevailed, and in 1917, he published this account of his journey, a lyrical and introspective work that hints at the conflicts this white man abroad on the Dark Continent may have felt. For 21st-century readers, it is a fascinating and unexpected look at a man who found Africa "horribly heathenish but mighty interesting" but nevertheless sought to mold this exotic land into something comfortable and familiar.OF INTEREST TO: students of the history of Christianity in Africa, armchair travelersAUTHOR BIO: American writer CORNELIUS HOWARD PATTON (1860-1939) is also the author of Business of Missions (1924), Eight O'Clock Chapel (1927), and God's Word (1931).

Book excerpt: Despite having limited knowledge of any of the African cultures, in 1972 my four children and I left Canada to go live in Kenya. This book is a personal narrative of our first year, a year filled with challenges and crises set amongst the barrenness and beauty of the lands and peoples of Kenya. From our first landlord that attempts to rape Jerry; to Scott and Rick who are lost in one of Naivasha's forests; to local Africans who stone our pet baboon and puppy; to the night of terror in Nakuru game park when three east Indians intend to rape Jaden; to the suitcase full of money found abandoned in our backyard swimming pool; and, to the prostitution ring, concealed behind a modeling agency operating in Nairobi, that tries to entice Jaden into its fold. The people and incidents in this book are real.

Download or read book The Fortunes of Africa written by Martin Meredith and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa has been coveted for its riches ever since the era of the Pharaohs. In past centuries, it was the lure of gold, ivory, and slaves that drew fortune-seekers, merchant-adventurers, and conquerors from afar. In modern times, the focus of attention is on oil, diamonds, and other valuable minerals. Land was another prize. The Romans relied on their colonies in northern Africa for vital grain shipments to feed the population of Rome. Arab invaders followed in their wake, eventually colonizing the entire region. More recently, foreign corporations have acquired huge tracts of land to secure food supplies needed abroad, just as the Romans did. In this vast and vivid panorama of history, Martin Meredith follows the fortunes of Africa over a period of 5,000 years. With compelling narrative, he traces the rise and fall of ancient kingdoms and empires; the spread of Christianity and Islam; the enduring quest for gold and other riches; the exploits of explorers and missionaries; and the impact of European colonization. He examines, too, the fate of modern African states and concludes with a glimpse of their future. His cast of characters includes religious leaders, mining magnates, warlords, dictators, and many other legendary figures—among them Mansa Musa, ruler of the medieval Mali empire, said to be the richest man the world has ever known. “I speak of Africa,” Shakespeare wrote, “and of golden joys.” This is history on an epic scale.

This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War period witnessed competition from political, economic, ideological, diplomatic, military and social dimensions between the United States of America (USA), and the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). In the superpower rivalries, India and Africa were adversely affected in many ways. The situation did not change for the better in the post-Cold War period, which has witnessed the domination of the world by the US and its allies, the Group of Eight (G-8) industrialised countries. This domination has been characterised by the process of Americanization of the worlds, otherwise termed globalisation, in virtually all spheres of life. USA, India, Africa During and After the Cold War demonstrates that both the United States and The Soviet Union used African States, India and other Third World countries for their own geopolitical considerations; that the foreign policy and foreign relations of the US were meant to subject Africa and India to the dictates of US imperialism. The book assesses the impact of the Cold War and the post-Cold War order on Africa, India and the entire world and argues that the Non Aligned Movement is still relevant to the Third World countries despite the demise of the Cold War. The book analyses issues from the African point of view as opposed to hitherto Western view points but provides a balanced appreciation of the complex forces that shape foreign policies and foreign relations globally. It is a valuable contribution to modern diplomatic history and targets university students, researchers, foreign affairs ministries, and practicing diplomats.
