Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely, original and sophisticated collection, writers from the Global South demonstrate that forms of publicness are multiple, mobile and varied. The notion that societies mediate issues through certain kinds of engagement is at the heart of imaginings of democracy and often centers on the ideal of the public sphere. But this imagined foundation of how we live collectively appears to have suffered a dramatic collapse across the world, with many democracies apparently unable to solve problems through talk – or even to agree on who speaks, in what ways and where. In the 10 essays in this timely, original and sophisticated collection, writers from southern Africa combine theoretical analysis with the examination of historical cases and contemporary developments to demonstrate that forms of publicness are multiple, mobile and varied. They propose new concepts and methodologies to analyse how public engagements work in society. Babel Unbound examines charged examples from the Global South, such as the centuries old Timbuktu archive, Nelson Mandela as a powerful absent presence in 1960s public life, and the challenges to the terms of contemporary debate around the student activism of #rhodesmustfall and #feesmustfall. These show how issues of public discussion span both archive and media, verbal debates in formal spaces and visual performances that circulate in unpredictable ways.

Book excerpt: Chris and his fellow adventurers are back from a wild, four-month stretch of world travel. Together, they climbed Mount Sinai, rode donkeys through the Valley of Kings, and partied every step of the way. The young men have become addicted to travel, and it isn't long before they are plotting their next trip this time to Timbuktu, a place of seemingly mythical proportions in the West African country of Mali. Before long, their group gets larger in number, and soon, a small army of nine is making plans to head to Africa. They don't know what to expect, but then again, they don't care. Once in Africa, they will need to navigate the desert, deal with corrupt officials, and stomach extreme images of hardship and poverty. Along the way, they find quite a bit of adventure but also quite a bit of trouble. Through it all, this group of adventure junkies finds out that the perfect place to quench their thirst for excitement is Somewhere in the Sand.

Download or read book The Transmission of Learning in Islamic Africa written by Scott Reese and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of essays this collected volume challenges much of the conventional wisdom regarding the intellectual history of Muslim Africa. Ranging from the libraries of Early Modern Mauritania and Timbuktu to mosque lectures in contemporary Mombasa the contributors to this collection overturn many commonly accepted assumptions about Africa's Muslim learned classes. Rather than isolated, backward and out of touch, the essays in this volume reveal Muslim intellectuals as not only well aware of the intellectual currents of the wider Islamic world but also caring deeply about the issues facing their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saffron-colored sky, laden with biting grains of sand, was beginning to yield to a more hospitable blue. Silence prevailed in the harsh desert surroundings the stranded railway coach. The dusty and the violent north wind, which had been lashing the sides of the coach was abating gradually into a fresh breeze playing with the branches of a few date trees, several meters far from the coach. Manira opened the window of the toilet and looked outside at the empty silent desert. She felt herself as an outcast, in the middle of uncharted location, with nothing to see except rugged masses of marble rocks jetting out of the sands here and there, among gigantic sand dunes that extend till the edge of the towering mountains far in the horizon. The conductor stepped down from the car followed by Baron. Both scanned the desert surrounding to explore if there is a sign of life around. But there was absolutely nothing except few rocky hills with the empty railway line coiling its way around the rocky hills till the horizon. Luckily the separated coach stopped few meters away from an area with scattered date trees, which broke the monotony of the one yellow color of sands and rocks. “We are in deep, deep trouble. The conductor said looking at Baron, then he added with a tone of anger: “It’s your fault that we are stranded here in the middle of nowhere. Had you listened to me, we would be in that traveling train. Not in this abandoned coach. Infuriated by the conductor’s belligerent redundancy, Baron shouted: “You have the audacity to twist facts? Why did you call us out of this coach? Admit it. You are part of it. Everything was preplanned, and you knew that this rear coach would be detached from the train. The plan is to get rid of the mentally ill children!.. Am I right? What kind of a brutal scheme to abandon those illusioned and indisposed children to perish in the desert? Was it because there is a deficit in the budget of the institution of the mentally ill? Is it devilish plan invented to waste and bury them in the desert and then to be declared as a train freak accident. A good pretext to get rid of them? You thought you fooled me? You think I believe your innocence?.. It is an obvious premeditated

Download or read book The Evolution of Liberal Arts in the Global Age written by Peter Marber and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced and developing countries across the globe are embracing the liberal arts approach in higher education to foster more innovative human capital to compete in the global economy. Even as interest in the tradition expands outside the United States, can the democratic philosophy underlying the liberal arts tradition be sustained? Can developing countries operating under heavy authoritarian systems cultivate schools predicated on open discussion and debate? Can entrenched specialist systems in Europe and Asia successfully adopt the multidisciplinary liberal arts model? These are some of the questions put to leading scholars and senior higher education practitioners within this edited collection. Beginning with historical context, international contributors explore the contours of liberal arts education amid public calls for change in the United States, the growing global interest in the approach outside the United States, as well as the potential of liberal arts philosophy in a global knowledge economy.
