The Disillusioned African
ISBN: 9789956558025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This humorous tale of the naive and curious African student-cum-philosopher wandering between North and South, the rural and the urban, has been in gestation for a period of nearly two decades. With allusion to traditions of the philosophical novel and the picaresque, Nyamnjoh's protagonist travels from his African village to the sharply divided and socially cruel world of 1980s Britain. By casting aside his disillusion and the traps of servitude and victimhood, The Disillusioned African reveals his creative potential for curiosity and adventure. He brings a bird's eye view, always...

Mind Searching
ISBN: 9789956558049 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Mind Searching Nyamnjoh has attempted to do something rather clever - to expose, through the attitudes, feelings and thoughts of one man and a very simple story, the hypocrisy and corruption of Cameroon society and humanity in general, often using understatement and irony in good effect. The commentary is unremittingly cynical and returns again and again to corruption, callous squandering, exploitation, prostitution, and other fairly worn butts. The book depicts a society where basic freedoms are shackled, and thinking aloud treasonable. Hence the mental ramblings of the narrator and...

Modernising Traditions and Traditionalising Modernity in Africa. Chieftaincy and Democracy in Cameroon and Botswana
ISBN: 9789956762071 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Chieftaincy in Africa has displayed remarkable dynamics and adaptability to new socio-economic and political developments, without becoming totally transformed in the process. Almost everywhere on the continent, chiefdoms and chiefs have become active agents in the quest for ethnic, cultural symbols as a way of maximising opportunities at the centre of bureaucratic and state power, and at the home village where control over land and labour often require both financial and symbolic capital. Chieftaincy remains central to ongoing efforts at developing democracy and accountability in line with...

Insiders and Outsiders: Citizenship and Xenophobia in Contemporary Southern Africa
ISBN: 9781842776773 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'A remarkable study? Among the many significant theoretical and empirical contributions that Nyamnjoh makes in this study, perhaps most incisive is the intensity with which Africa is incorporated into the consumption practices of global capitalism in that no object, territory or experience is beyond being a locus of often fierce struggle over their disposition and use.' - Professor AbdouMaliq Simone

C'est l'homme qui fait l'homme: Cul-de-Sac Ubuntu-ism in Côte d'Ivoire
ISBN: 9789956762521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea that human beings are inextricably bound to one another is at the heart of this book about African agency, especially drawing on the African philosophy Ubuntu, with its roots in human sociality and inclusivity. Ubuntus precepts and workings are severely tested in these times of rapid change and multiple responsibilities. Africans negotiate their social existence between urban and rural life, their continental and transcontinental distances, and all the market forces that now impinge, with relationships and loyalties placed in question. Between ideal and reality, dreams and schemes,...

ISBN: 9781842775837 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This major study explores the role of the mass media in promoting democracy and empowering civil society in Africa. The author contextualizes Africa within in the rapidly changing global media and shows how patterns of media ownership and state control have evolved and the huge difficulties under which most African media workers labour.

Nyamnjoh is critical of the Western-derived institutional framework for multi-party...

Drinking from the Cosmic Gourd: How Amos Tutuola Can Change Our Minds
ISBN: 9789956764655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book questions colonial and apartheid ideologies on being human and being African, ideologies that continue to shape how research is conceptualised, taught and practiced in universities across Africa. Africans immersed in popular traditions of meaning-making are denied the right, by those who police the borders of knowledge, to think and represent their realities in accordance with the civilisations and universes they know best. Often, the ways of life they cherish are labelled and dismissed too eagerly as traditional knowledge by some of the very African intellectual elite they look...

#RhodesMustFall. Nibbling at Resilient Colonialism in South Africa
ISBN: 9789956763160 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book on rights, entitlements and citizenship in post-apartheid South Africa shows how the playing field has not been as levelled as presumed by some and how racism and its benefits persist. Through everyday interactions and experiences of university students and professors, it explores the question of race in a context still plagued by remnants of apartheid, inequality and perceptions of inferiority and inadequacy among the majority black population. In education, black voices and concerns go largely unheard, as circles of privilege are continually regenerated and added onto a layered...
