Download or read book Seeds of Peace written by Roberts, Rommel and published by Digiboo. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘In South Africa, the struggle for freedom was won largely through non-violent means – 95% of the struggle was non-violent. The non-violent foundations laid in the preceding years are, I believe, what made our peaceful transition to democracy possible in 1994.’ Rommel Roberts’ words express his conviction which was underlying all his efforts as an activist opposing the apartheid regime in South Africa. In his book ‘Seeds of Peace’ Rommel Roberts wants to focus on ordinary people who with their courage and commitment have achieved a change in South African conditions but have never been recognised and acknowledged. In all his stories of brave women and men and in all forms of protest and human rights activities in which Rommel Roberts played a key role this incredible spirit of non-violence was prevalent and finally successful.

Book Synopsis The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth by : Richard Conniff
Download or read book The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth written by Richard Conniff and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of bold adventurers who risked death to discover strange life forms in the farthest corners of planet Earth. Beginning with Linnaeus, a colorful band of explorers made it their mission to travel to the most perilous corners of the planet and bring back astonishing new life forms. They attracted followers ranging from Thomas Jefferson, who laid out mastodon bones on the White House floor, to twentieth-century doctors who used their knowledge of new species to conquer epidemic diseases. Acclaimed science writer Richard Conniff brings these daredevil "species seekers" to vivid life. Alongside their globe-spanning tales of adventure, he recounts some of the most dramatic shifts in the history of human thought. At the start, everyone accepted that the Earth had been created for our benefit. We weren't sure where vegetable ended and animal began, we couldn't classify species, and we didn't understand the causes of disease. But all that changed as the species seekers introduced us to the pantheon of life on Earth—and our place within it.

Book Synopsis The Black Book by : Middleton A. Harris
Download or read book The Black Book written by Middleton A. Harris and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the classic New York Times bestseller edited by Toni Morrison, offering an encyclopedic look at the black experience in America from 1619 through the 1940s with the original cover restored. “I am so pleased the book is alive again. I still think there is no other work that tells and visualizes a story of such misery with seriousness, humor, grace and triumph.”—Toni Morrison Seventeenth-century sketches of Africans as they appeared to marauding European traders. Nineteenth-century slave auction notices. Twentieth-century sheet music for work songs and freedom chants. Photographs of war heroes, regal in uniform. Antebellum reward posters for capturing runaway slaves. An 1856 article titled “A Visit to the Slave Mother Who Killed Her Child.” In 1974, Middleton A. Harris and Toni Morrison led a team of gifted, passionate collectors in compiling these images and nearly five hundred others into one sensational narrative of the black experience in America—The Black Book. Now in a newly restored hardcover edition, The Black Book remains a breathtaking testament to the legendary wisdom, strength, and perseverance of black men and women intent on freedom. Prominent collectors Morris Levitt, Roger Furman, and Ernest Smith joined Harris and Morrison (then a Random House editor, ultimately a two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning Nobel Laureate) to spend months studying, laughing at, and crying over these materials—transcripts from fugitive slaves’ trials and proclamations by Frederick Douglass and celebrated abolitionists, as well as chilling images of cross burnings and lynchings, patents registered by black inventors throughout the early twentieth century, and vibrant posters from “Black Hollywood” films of the 1930s and 1940s. Indeed, it was an article she found while researching this project that provided the inspiration for Morrison’s masterpiece, Beloved. A labor of love and a vital link to the richness and diversity of African American history and culture, The Black Book honors the past, reminding us where our nation has been, and gives flight to our hopes for what is yet to come. Beautifully and faithfully presented and featuring a foreword and original poem by Toni Morrison, The Black Book remains a timeless landmark work.
Book Synopsis Discourses on African Affairs by : Okello Oculi
Download or read book Discourses on African Affairs written by Okello Oculi and published by Africa Research and Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the ideological weaponry of the post-Cold War era currently being forged in the officially- encouraged tide of xenophobia sweeping over the unemployed citizenries of Europe? Or in the "civilized" media's obsessive "coverage" of orchestrated ethnic wrath in Europe and Africa? And what new strategies can policymakers in Africa possibly devise to combat the steady diet of Western reportage on "Africa the Violent" that routinely reinforces African self-contempt "at home" and throughout the so-called African Diaspora? These and a host of other probing questions are raised by the author of this cogent collection of provocative essays.

Book Synopsis Dialogues of Negritude by : Jean Baptiste Popeau
Download or read book Dialogues of Negritude written by Jean Baptiste Popeau and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new offering, Popeau demonstrates that Negritude, a literary and philosophical movement inaugurated in the 1930s by a group of Blacks studying in Paris, is the manifestation of a dialogue between Blacks and Western culture and an internal dialogue amongst Blacks themselves. This movement had a profound influence on the Black movements which followed in the 1960s and '70s. When the Black Panthers shouted "Black is beautiful" they were echoing the "It is good and beautiful to be Black" statement of the 1930s Negritude movement. The first two chapters of the book examine the basic structure and content of the discourse about Blacks in Euro-American culture including Hegel's ideological pronouncements about Africa and the Western concept of the Black in literature. The second part of the book examines Negritude as a counter-discourse to the discourse on the Negro in Western culture by focusing on the works of Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor, the two principal founders of Negritude. The study aims to discuss the manifestation of Negritude post-1930s through an examination of some works of James Baldwin and Richard Wright. The ideas of Wilson Harris, the West Indian writer, are discussed as a counter to the ideology of Negritude. This study aims to provide the student of Black literature with the knowledge necessary to place one of the most important formative movements of Black literature within its cultural perspective.

Book Synopsis William James on Democratic Individuality by : Stephen S. Bush
Download or read book William James on Democratic Individuality written by Stephen S. Bush and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James (1842–1910) argued for a philosophy of democracy and pluralism that advocates individual and collective responsibility for our social arrangements, our morality, and our religion. In James' view, democracy resides first and foremost not in governmental institutions or in procedures such as voting, but rather in the characteristics of individuals, and in qualities of mind and conduct. It is a philosophy for social change, counselling action and hope despite the manifold challenges facing democratic politics, and these issues still resonate strongly today. In this book, Stephen S. Bush explores how these themes connect to James' philosophy of religion, his moral thought, his epistemology, his psychology, and his metaphysics. His fresh and original study highlights the relevance of James' thought to modern debates, and will appeal to scholars and students of moral and political philosophy.

Book Synopsis On the Origin of Spin by : Brendan Bruce
Download or read book On the Origin of Spin written by Brendan Bruce and published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to try and answer the question: ‘where and when did political spin originate?’ It deals with the techniques of news management developed and used in those advanced democracies who have laws to protect a free press. such as the United States of America, and to a lesser extent its first cousin, several times removed, the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, or to be more precise, England, who in 1695 became the first country in the world to enshrine a free press into their constitutional law. This joint history of legal protections of press freedom; governmental toleration of free speech; progressive legislation to widen the franchise; vigorous growth in political parties; pluralism and its consequence, the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions and lifestyles; a healthy adherence to Burkean ‘little platoons’ of volunteers; and, most of all, sophisticated developments in mass media technologies and consumer marketing techniques; all of which means that the Anglo-Saxon cousins are, and have always been, in the vanguard of news management. Government and media have been at war from the very beginning. Au fond this is a struggle for allegiance. The media want the allegiance of their readers and viewers, because this brings them the profits they need to remain in business. As Patrick Le Lay, then CEO of the main French private channel TF1 put it: "There are many ways to speak about TV, but in a business perspective, let's be realistic: TF1's job is to help Coca-Cola sell its product. What we sell to Coca-Cola is available human brain time." Government on the other hand wants the allegiance of the voter, to acquire or retain power. The famous Victorian editor of 'The Times', Thomas Barnes, once said that the "newspaper is not an organ through which Government can influence people, but through which people can influence the Government." Politicians would reverse the dictum. And therein lies the causus belli. The politician's strategy for winning this war was stated most succinctly by that arch media manipulator, David Lloyd George: "what you can't square, you squash; and what you can't squash, you square." The media for their part, are determined to be neither squashed nor squared. From 1800 in the US and 1832 in Britain (when Germany and Italy were just a glint in the eye of some petty princes; and France was recovering from yet another pointless 'revolution' leaving behind yet another example of Kafka's bureaucratic slime); competitive, party based elections produced extraordinary outbursts of creativity. Politicians learned that the art of politics is about making and then winning arguments. As each successive cutting edge novelty arrived, the spin doctors quickly adapted and improved their techniques by adroitly exploiting the new medium’s benefits. For two centuries (and even before) the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ have led the world in spin: this is the history of that journey.
