Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesteryear in Umu-Akha: History and Evolution of an Igbo Community, 1665-1999, is a pioneer study of an Igbo people in the Isuama subcultural group. It is in part in response to the call for the study of Igbo people on the micro scale, that is, at the local, else, subcultural divisional group level. It is believed that studies at this level will facilitate the writing of igbo history by making much easier the extraction of the traits and traditions common among the various communities or groups, for generalization at the pan-Igbo level. Although a number of such studies have been published lately, none is on the Isuama, despite its uniqueness. Located in Igbo heartland, in eastern Nigeria, Isuama is arguably the most populated subcultural group in Nigeria. The practice of the Osu caste system is prevalent in the area. Isuama dialect of the Igbo language was the first of its kind to be subjected to western scholarship as early as the last quarter of the 18th century. Umu-Akha as a community in the subcultural group has a special appeal as a unit of pre 20th century study because of the great advantage it offers in the understanding of Igbo culture and civilization. Unlike most of its sister communities, it is a constellation of villages with a long history, a common ancestor and under one ruler. Larger than the single village in size and population and possessing a wider range of traits and traditions more representative of its subcultural group, its history bears study; one that offers great opportunity for the extraction of the needed commonalities among the various groups and conveniently generalizable at the pan-Igbo level. The end result is the enrichment of knowledge of Igbo civilization. This book can be used as a text in any institution of higher learning for courses in African Studies, HIstory, Sociology, Religion, Political Science and even Comparative Institutions. It can equally serve the needs of the general reader interested in the cultures and customs of other peoples and races.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the roots of white supremacy and mass incarceration from the vantage point of history Why, asks Pem Davidson Buck, is punishment so central to the functioning of the United States, a country proclaiming “liberty and justice for all”? The Punishment Monopoly challenges our everyday understanding of American history, focusing on the constructions of race, class, and gender upon which the United States was built, and which still support racial capitalism and the carceral state. After all, Buck writes, “a state, to be a state, has to punish ... bottom line, that is what a state and the force it controls is for.” Using stories of her European ancestors, who arrived in colonial Virginia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and following their descendants into the early nineteenth century, Buck shows how struggles over the right to punish, backed by the growing power of the state governed by a white elite, made possible the dispossession of Africans, Native Americans, and poor whites. Those struggles led to the creation of the low-wage working classes that capitalism requires, locked in by a metastasizing white supremacy that Buck’s ancestors, with many others, defined as white, helped establish and manipulate. Examining those foundational struggles illuminates some of the most contentious issues of the twenty-first century: the exploitation and detention of immigrants; mass incarceration as a central institution; Islamophobia; white privilege; judicial and extra-judicial killings of people of color and some poor whites. The Punishment Monopoly makes it clear that none of these injustices was accidental or inevitable; that shifting our state-sanctioned understandings of history is a step toward liberating us from its control of the present.

This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slave Trade and Culture in the Bight of Biafra dissects and explains the structure, dramatic expansion, and manifold effects of the slave trade in the Bight of Biafra. By showing that the rise of the Aro merchant group was the key factor in trade expansion, G. Ugo Nwokeji reinterprets why and how such large-scale commerce developed in the absence of large-scale centralized states. The result is the first study to link the structure and trajectory of the slave trade in a major exporting region to the expansion of a specific African merchant group - among other fresh insights into Atlantic Africa's involvement in the trade - and the most comprehensive treatment of Atlantic slave trade in the Bight of Biafra. The fundamental role of culture in the organization of trade is highlighted, transcending the usual economic explanations in a way that complicates traditional generalizations about work, domestic slavery, and gender in pre-colonial Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subject: The book is the fruit of five years of on-site research on citizenship in the Arab world. It takes a broader legal perspective to the multifaceted reality of nationality and citizenship. The methodology employed builds on the interdisciplinary approach of comparative legal studies, and brings in theories, concepts and insights from anthropology, political science, Arab and Islamic studies, linguistics and sociology. The work relies on a broad range of Western and Arab references, and all sources and documents were directly accessed in their original languages; this is particularly relevant for Arab legislation (all in-text reference has been translated by the author, and the original has been inserted using scientific transliteration). -- Website OAPEN Library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN E-Government Survey 2008: From E-Government to Connected Governance assesses the e-government readiness of the 192 Member States of the UN according to a quantitative composite index of e-readiness based on website assessment, telecommunication infrastructure, and human resource endowment. ICTs can help reinvent government in such a way that existing institutional arrangements can be restructured and new innovative arrangements can flourish, paving the way for a transformed government. The focus of the report this year, in Part 2, is e-government initiatives directed at improving operational efficiency through the integration of back-office functions. Whilst such initiatives, if successful, will deliver benefits to citizens, the primary purpose is to improve the effectiveness of government and governmental agencies. Models of back-office integration, irrespective of the delivery mode, fall into three broad categories: single function integration, cross functional integration, and back-office to front-office integration. The level of complexity, expressed in terms of the number of functions within the scope and number of organizations involved, is the primary factor influencing a successful outcome - with a tendency amongst the more ambitious projects to fail to deliver the full anticipated benefits. The key variables involved in the delivery of back-office integration are the people, processes and technology required. Whilst the technology is increasingly resilient and 'fit for purpose', the evidence indicates that success or failure is less a technological issue and more a people issue - in particular, the ability to change public service cultures and motivate public sectorworkers to new ways of working, address trade union concerns, and provide adequately skilled and competent management
