This book was released on 2015 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is intensified interest in designing information and communication technologies (ICTs) that respond to ways of doing, knowing, and saying that differ from those that dominate in producing ICTs and, in particular, to ‘traditional’ or ‘indigenous’ knowledges. ICT endeavours for indigenous or traditional knowledges (ITK) vary. Some aim to extend ITK digitally and others use ICTs to improve the economic and/or political situation of marginalised groups. This book presents themes that arise in designing to respond to ITK in different cultural, social, physical, and historical contexts.

Spiritual teacher, intuitive coach, and award-winning author, Abiola Abrams invites you to activate African goddess magic to transmute your fears and limiting beliefs, so that you can create more happiness, abundance, and self-acceptance. Africa is a continent of 54+ countries, and her children are global. There is no one African spiritual tradition. Our ancestors who were trafficked in "The New World" hid the secrets of our orishas, abosom, lwas, álúsí, and god/desses behind saints, angels, and legendary characters. From South Africa to Egypt, Brazil to Haiti, Guyana to Louisiana, goddess wisdom still empowers us. Writes Abiola, "Spirit told me, "We choose who shows up." And if you are holding this book, then this sacred medicine is meant for you. In this book, you will meet ancient goddesses and divine feminine energy ancestors, legendary queens, and mystical spirits. As you complete their powerful rituals, and ascend through their temples, you will: . Awaken generational healing in the Temple of Ancestors; . Manifest your miracles in the Temple of Conjurers; . Release the struggle in the Temple of Warriors; . Embrace your dark goddess self in the Temple of Shadows; . Heal your primal wounds in the Temple of Lovers; . Liberate your voice in the Temple of Griots; . Open your third eye intuition in the Temple of Queens; and . Surrender, meditate, and rise in the Temple of High Priestesses. Welcome to your goddess circle!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a global, multicultural, social, and economic perspective, this work explores the diverse and colourful history of human attire. From prehistoric times to the age of globalization, articles cover the evolution of clothing utility, style, production, and commerce, including accessories (shoes, hats, gloves, handbags, and jewellery) for men, women, and children. Dress for different climates, occupations, recreational activities, religious observances, rites of passages, and other human needs and purposes - from hunting and warfare to sports and space exploration - are examined in depth and detail. Fashion and design trends in diverse historical periods, regions and countries, and social and ethnic groups constitute a major area of coverage, as does the evolution of materials (from animal fur to textiles to synthetic fabrics) and production methods (from sewing and weaving to industrial manufacturing and computer-aided design). Dress as a reflection of social status, intellectual and artistic trends, economic conditions, cultural exchange, and modern media marketing are recurring themes. Influential figures and institutions in fashion design, industry and manufacturing, retail sales, production technologies, and related fields are also covered.

Book excerpt: In this collection of essays researchers recount their research experiences in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. Contributors to this volume pursue answers to their research questions in small towns, in both urban and rural white areas, in black townships, in 'coloured' areas, in the homelands of Kangwane, the Transkei, and Qwa Qwa, in the streets of Johannesburg, in the 'killing fields' of Pietermaritzburg, in the black hostels of Cape Town, and even in a gay club in Pretoria. 'Some will regard Truth be in the field as a handbook for research and researchers seeking to enter the field, and it is certainly that. But perhaps more important is the sensitive and provocative way

Book excerpt: This book is about the tribal people of Southern Africa who have ceased to exist. So much has changed, so much is changing and so much has already been lost. Dr Martin West and Jean Norris have collaborated to create an image in words and pictures of what remains of the traditional African way of life in South Africa. All the major groups are described; their customs, rituals and dress are shown and the meanings discussed. This is a record of a way of life centuries old but now, inexorably, drawing to an end. It may well be that at some point in the future, all that will remain of this proud heritage will be its oblique reflection in the new emerging black society.

Book excerpt: Around the world, people mark transitions, from birth to death, through celebrations and ceremonies. In South Africa, many ceremonies are aimed at securing the spiritual well-being of the individual and of the community. Until the 18th century, all chiefdoms in southern Africa observed initiation practices to prepare young men and women for their roles in adult society. In present day KawZulu-Natal, these rites were abandoned in favour of age-grade regiments in the early 19th century, before the time of King Shaka. A number of celebrations associated with the coming of age of young women survive to this day, while the Reed Ceremony, associated with puberty rights among the Swazi, was adopted by their Zulu-speaking neighbours as late as the mid-1980s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mpumalanga is known for its spectacular landscapes and its teeming game reserves. It also has an extraordinarily rich and vivid history which has not been previously recognized. The South African province's valued heritage and its contribution to tourism, education, and economic development remain undeveloped. This ground-breaking study ensures that this province's compelling past lives on in the present. Written by some of South Africa's foremost researchers, and richly illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs, the book tells a story that begins with the geological records of the first emergence of life on earth three to five billion years ago and concludes with the dawn of an inclusive democracy in South Africa. Areas covered include geology, archaeology, rock art, traditions of early settlements, frontier conflicts, the South African War, conservation, economic development, the contemporary political struggles in the 20th century, and the significance of all of this in the light of contemporary debates over heritage.

Book excerpt: Some of these artistic practices date back to pre-colonial times, for instance the production of household goods, such as clay pots, grass baskets and gourd vessels. In the course of the 20th century, new practices emerged, including the production of large clay sculptures and murals using commercially produced paints. In general these crafts, both old and new, are practised by women living in rural areas, who need to generate income to raise their families. Today, clay pots, grass baskets and other items are produced both for the tourist market and for domestic use, and in this way local artistic traditions have been revitalized.

Book excerpt: Why has the chicken become the meat par excellence, the most plentifully eaten and popular animal protein in the world, consumed from Beijing to Barcelona? As renowned historian Paul Josephson shows, the story of the chicken's rise involves a whole host of factors; from art, to nineteenth-century migration patterns to cold-war geopolitics. And whereas sheep needed too much space, or the cow was difficult to transport, these compact, lightweight birds produced relatively little waste, were easy to transport and could happily peck away in any urban back garden. Josephson tells this story from all sides: the transformation of the chicken from backyard scratcher to hyper-efficient industrial meat-product has been achieved due to the skill of entrepreneurs who first recognized the possibilities of chicken meat and the gene scientists who bred the plumpest and most fertile birds. But it has also been forced through by ruthless capitalists and lobbyists for “big farmer”, at the expense of animal welfare and the environment. With no sign of our lust for chicken abating, we're now reaching a crisis point: billions of birds are slaughtered every year, after having lived lives that are nasty, brutish and short. The waste from these victims is polluting rivers and poisoning animals. We’re now plunging “egg-first” into environmental disaster. Alongside this story Josephson tells another, of an animal with endearing characteristics who, arguably, can lay claim to being man’s best friend long before the dog reared its snout or the cat came in from the cold. Lionized in medieval romances and modern cartoons, the chicken’s relationship to humanity runs deep; by treating these animals as mere food products, we become less than human.
