Book Synopsis Twilight of Crooks by : Mwalimu Johnnie MacViban
Download or read book Twilight of Crooks written by Mwalimu Johnnie MacViban and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1977. Jason Makelekele treads where angels fear to tread as he investigates the murder of an oil tycoon for his column. During a trip to Bonn, Germany, he is disavowed by his country and becomes a stateless person. While he wonders if he will ever see the family and friends he has left behind, Cold War Germany is historically charged with what will be remembered as the German Autumn-a set of events associated with kidnappings by the Red Army Faction. Midway between neo-noir, political novel and postmodern romp, Twilight of Crooks takes liberties with history, changing names and events such that the line between history and alternative history becomes blurred.

Book Synopsis The Cameroon Condition by : George Ngwane
Download or read book The Cameroon Condition written by George Ngwane and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cameroon Condition brings together three seminal essays by George Ngwane, one of the most renowned, committed and daring Anglophone Cameroon writers. 'The Mungo Bridge, ' is a stinging indictment of the tenuous relations between La Republique du Cameroun and the Southern Cameroons - a marriage gone sour right from the honeymoon. It raises hard questions on the failed union, and is uncompromisingly courageous in the solutions it proposes. This popular essay was first published at a time when it was risky to be open and critical, especially on what has come to be known as The Anglophone Problem. 'The Anglophone File' discusses the narrow and barren politics of belonging that have exacerbated divisions and controversies among Anglophone elites, turning them into political fodder for the Francophone dominated state. The essay suggests ways out of the divisions and intrigue that have kept Anglophones permanently at daggers drawn against each other, and facilitated their exploitation, humiliation and marginalization. The third essay, 'Fragments of Unity, ' concerns the South West Region, whose leaders Ngwane criticizes of political opportunism and of a chronic lack of vision and fortitude with regard to the socio-economic development of the region. It calls for a leadership free of the docility, mediocrity and praise-singerliness. These are powerful essays that have attracted praise and criticism alike. They are essays to leave few indifferent. Their continued relevance to current debates makes of them a most rea

Download or read book Media Capture written by Anya Schiffrin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who controls the media today? There are many media systems across the globe that claim to be free yet whose independence has been eroded. As demagogues rise, independent voices have been squeezed out. Corporate-owned media companies that act in the service of power increasingly exercise soft censorship. Tech giants such as Facebook and Google have dramatically changed how people access information, with consequences that are only beginning to be felt. This book features pathbreaking analysis from journalists and academics of the changing nature and peril of media capture—how formerly independent institutions fall under the sway of governments, plutocrats, and corporations. Contributors including Emily Bell, Felix Salmon, Joshua Marshall, Joel Simon, and Nikki Usher analyze diverse cases of media capture worldwide—from the United Kingdom to Turkey to India and beyond—many drawn from firsthand experience. They examine the role played by new media companies and funders, showing how the confluence of the growth of big tech and falling revenues for legacy media has led to new forms of control. Contributions also shed light on how the rise of right-wing populists has catalyzed the crisis of global media. They also chart a way forward, exploring the growing need for a policy response and sustainable models for public-interest investigative journalism. Providing valuable insight into today’s urgent threats to media independence, Media Capture is essential reading for anyone concerned with defending press freedom in the digital age.
Book Synopsis In the Service of Power by : Anya Schiffrin
Download or read book In the Service of Power written by Anya Schiffrin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today, threats to independent journalism no longer come only from direct forms of state control. Where advocates of a vibrant public sphere once mobilized against the suppression and censorship of news, they now must also contend with the more complex challenge of media capture, the topic of a new book published by the Center for International Media Assistance and Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. In this volume of essays edited by Anya Schiffrin, media capture is shown to be a growing phenomenon linked both to the resurgence of authoritarian governments as well as to the structural weaknesses presently afflicting media markets. In this environment, political figures and economic elites are colluding to undermine the independence of privately-owned media, and efforts to stop this collusion by activists, regulators, and the international community have proven to be ineffective. CIMA is proud to present this collection and hopes it will inspire further research and thoughtful responses to this growing threat to democracies around the world." --back page.

Book excerpt: In Sisters of the Yam, bell hooks reflects on the ways in which the emotional health of black women has been and continues to be impacted by sexism and racism. Desiring to create a context where black females could both work on their individual efforts for self-actualization while remaining connected to a larger world of collective struggle, hooks articulates the link between self-recovery and political resistance. Both an expression of the joy of self-healing and the need to be ever vigilant in the struggle for equality, Sisters of the Yam continues to speak to the experience of black womanhood.
Book Synopsis Twilight of the Exiles by : Cyprian Fernandes
Download or read book Twilight of the Exiles written by Cyprian Fernandes and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TWILIGHT OF THE EXILES I DEDICATE THIS book (could be my last unless ...) to all the people who were forced to leave their birth-mother countries because of the Africanisation program enforced by the newly independent nations. I call these people, myself and my family included the exiles of eastern Africa. Most exiles have adopted and adapted to their new homes and countries of the diaspora. There are some, however, who will never forgive the Africans, especially the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, for virtually chucking them out. It was generally a quite brutal exodus for most, but Idi Amin was particularly savage in forcing the Asians out of their beloved Uganda. Others knew from the very start of the independence process that there was no place for them in African and that a day would come when they would have to leave. My family and I were this mind that is why we did not Kenya citizenship. But you can't stop loving the yearning for the country of your birth. Sure, some of these countries are no longer 100% safe with a high crime rate and most people tend to say "thank God I live in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe" or elsewhere. But that does not stop them from jumping out of comfy chairs screaming their lungs out, encouraging a Kenya victory on the track while watching it on television. Nostalgia binds us all and memory and nostalgia are stepmothers of a kind. We return at least once (or twice or three times, or whenever we can) to the old country and bask in its sunshine, feast on its cuisine and devour its fruit, and go on safaris in search of the Big Five Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo and relive the dreams and memories of yesterday.One of the key elements of these nostalgia safaris is to meet up with friends and family who remained behind. They have prospered and done well for themselves. A visit to the Nairobi Goan Gymkhana, a meet-and-greet or a "koroga" (cooking) party at the Nairobi Goan Institute or the Mombasa Goan Institute is always high on the travelling menu.For a few days, or a week or two, or four, we live the life that we had become accustomed to before we had to leave. From the sidelines of the diaspora, most exiles wish nothing but the best for their countries of birth: safe cities and towns, a solution for the shanty towns and their people, elimination of political and monetary corruption. Most exiles remember one side of the colonial era with great nostalgia: good law and order. The other, colour-bar, exploitation of the African and the wholesale robbery of tribal lands and the crimes committed against the people of these former colonies, they would rather not think about. Most Africans have forgotten about the sad and ugly past. Similarly, like much of the nostalgia, Nairobi is wiping out with every new mega-structure, the bits that will now live in the memory of the aged (both exiles and the folks who live there) and soon all that reminds of the past in Nairobi will be there no longer. For a start, the exiles cannot recognise the new street names. Nor can we remember what was where in our youth or while we were adults. There are those who have cut the umbilical cord and have erased Kenya from all of their memory but bear no ill feelings towards anyone.If there are no keepers of our collective and individual memory left alive, then we cease to exist completely, much more so than if we were remembered. The ground is called laterite and is a clay which has been enriched with Iron and aluminium that has been developed over long periods by the heavy rainfalls and the intense heat. Sometimes the material is rock hard but when scuffed by vehicle wheels, it becomes a choking, red dust. The iron is the origin of the redness, it is a rusty red colour. - Jack Hill.FOR a long time, I have been writing and talking about our East African DNA. Most Europeans will tell you of their love for their Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania... The histories of these countries' past are "in the blood."

Book Synopsis African Scholarly Publishing by : Alois Mlambo
Download or read book African Scholarly Publishing written by Alois Mlambo and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was conceived as a sequel to the African Writers Handbook (African Books Collective, 1999). It is built on the debates emanating from a seminar on scholarly publishing in Africa held in Arusha, Tanzania in 2002, organised by the Dag Hammarskj'ld Foundation, the African Books Collective and the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP). The seminar brought together scholars and publishers against a background of evidence of a revival of interest in higher education and scholarship in Africa after a long period of decline, and the new departures in scholarly publishing afforded by technology. This resulting collection of essays takes stock of the status of scholarly and academic publishing on the continent in the early years of the twenty-first century.
