Dealing with Government in South Sudan: Histories of Chiefship, Community and State
ISBN: 9781847010674 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. South Sudan became Africa's newest nation in 2011, following decades of armed conflict. Chiefs - or 'traditional authorities' - became a particular focus of attention during the international relief effort and post-war reconstruction and state-building. But 'traditional' authority in South Sudan has been much misunderstood. Institutions of chiefship were created during the colonial period but originated out of a much longer process of dealing with predatory external forces. This book addresses a significant paradox in African studies more widely: if chiefs were the product of colonial states,...

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Literature - Africa, Mohamed I University (literaturevand human sciences), course: extensive reading, language: English, abstract: The paper approaches an exploration of two major themes in Sula: social identity and gender subalternity. I would begin with an overview of the major points that mark the novel, and then shift to violently serious disagreements that bore reference to the submissive, subaltern position that Sula had to encounter. It is common sense to assume a certain Manichean worldview, for societies are bound to declare...

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Literature - Africa, language: English, abstract: Moroccan society is composed of many conflicting and/or correlating modes of production. The subject, by virtue of inhabiting such a 'composite' society, is racked under the burdensomeness of modes of production. The inability to identify wholly with one pole of meaning production causes 'l'homme composite de la societe composite' a certain split. Darius Shayegan calls such a split 'cultural schizophrenia.' This paper attempts to trace cultural schizophrenia and its consequences on 'l'homme...

Encounters: Gerard Titus-Carmel, Jean-Luc Nancy, Claire Denis
ISBN: 9781845197155 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The two essays in the volume turn to Art's domain as a source of inspiration and instruction for the construction of its concepts and the development of its problems. The first essay addresses the encounter of Gerard Titus-Carmel with Grunewald's famous altar piece, Crucifixion, in 159+1 variations, which take a musical form, or rather, whose form becomes musical; the second stages an encounter between the writings of Jean-Luc Nancy that patiently trace the interstices, gaps, and hollows that constitute "bodies" and the cinema of Claire Denis that invents an intensely sensuous relation to...

Ken Saro-Wiwa
ISBN: 9780821422014 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hanged by the Nigerian government on November 10, 1995, Ken Saro-Wiwa became a martyr for the Ogoni people and human rights activists, and a symbol of modern Africans' struggle against military dictatorship, corporate power, and environmental exploitation. Though he is rightly known for his human rights and environmental activism, he wore many hats: writer, television producer, businessman, and civil servant, among others. While the book sheds light on his many legacies, it is above all about Saro-Wiwa the man, not just Saro-Wiwa the symbol. Roy Doron and Toyin Falola portray a man who not...

The Mis-Education of the Negro
ISBN: 9781614278290 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 2015 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The most imperative and crucial element in Woodsons concept of "Mis-Education" hinged on the education systems failure to present authentic Negro History in schools and the bitter knowledge that there was a scarcity of literature available for such a purpose, because most history books gave little or no space to the black mans presence in America. Some of them contained casual references to Negroes but these generally depicted them in menial, subordinate roles, more or...

The Grapes from the Baobab
ISBN: 9782359260694 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How could I have lived and worked in the presence of the brilliant and caring young man called Ibrahima Amadou Niang (we called him Ibou, in great affection) and not know that I was rubbing shoulders with a great young poet? Because we talked about everything except the essential? Now the essential is here in these fierce and moving and often haunting poems speaking of love and travels and sadness and compassion - for people and for pelicans - and sometimes of anger. The love is deep and nuanced, the way with words is scintillating and apt and impressive way beyond what one would expect from...

African Poems Volume One: Àṣẹ Òrìṣà!: A Praise Anthology to Yorùbá Orishas, Rituals, Traditions and Wisdom
ISBN: 9781478784029 / Angielski / Miękka / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the literate tradition of poetry, the poet's appeal to an audience is dual: namely, auditory and visual, the sound of words as spoken, as well as the words as set on paper. Today, in view of the modern world of increasing digital technology, the consequent tendency of the reader has shifted to reading poems privately, in their nooks/tablets, rather than listening to them at poetry recitals. Few authors, still venturing into the world of the printed pages, manage to keep alive the magic of the art of reading poetry directly from a physical book. In honor of this fading art, author Alex...
