Orality, Literacy, and Colonialism in Southern Africa
ISBN: 9781589831179 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Literacy is essentially about the control of information, memory, and belief, and with colonialism in Southern Africa came the Bible and text-based literacy monitored by missionaries and colonial authorities. Old and new oral traditions, however, are beyond the control of empire and often carry the resistance, hopes, and dreams of colonized people. The essays in this volume recover aspects of Southern Africa's rich oral tradition. The authors, from disciplines such as anthropology, African literature, and biblical studies, delineate some of the contours of the indigenous knowledge systems...

Young Warriors: Youth Politics, Identity and Violence in South Africa
ISBN: 9781868143702 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has been written about South Africa's "lost generation" --the generation of politicized youth who dedicated their lives to the liberation of a nation, and who have "lost" everything in the process.

It is the story of activists who have become leaders, provincial premiers and national ministers in our democratic society. While focusing on the lives of the men and women who lived in Diepkloof, a black "township" in South Africa, it is also the narrative of many black...

To slaves and Khoisan servants, British rule brought freedom, but a freedom that remained...

ISBN: 9781586486419 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
