VOVEMOD, KÆRLIGHED OG FORRÆDERI I EN MEDRIVENDE FORTÆLLING BASERET PÅ EN KVINDES ENESTÅENDE OPLEVELSER SOM FREMMEDLEGIONÆR UNDER ANDEN VERDENSKRIG1939, Nice. Overdådige fester, hurtige biler og smukke festkjoler – den unge Violet St. Croix har tilsyneladende alt. Men inderst inde længes hun efter mere. Da Tyskland invaderer Frankrig, beslutter hun sig for at slutte sig til modstandsbevægelsen og kæmpe for friheden med sine landsmænd.Hun bliver sendt på en farlig mission, hvor hendes evne til at tænke hurtigt, køre stærkt og reparere køretøjer kommer i spil. Men missionen udvikler sig til et mareridt. De allierede lider nederlag efter nederlag, og Violet får mistanke om, at der er en forræder i deres midte.Men hvordan skal hun overbevise de andre om, at hun taler sandt? Og hvem kan hun stole på, når det er umuligt at skelne ven fra fjende.Morgendagen er for de modige er en dramatisk og spændende fortælling om en modig kvinde, der risikerede alt for det, hun troede på. Den er inspireret af den sande historie om Susan Travers, den eneste kvinde nogensinde i den franske fremmedlegion.

Den unge diplomat Rasmus Hjort nyder tilværelsen som ambassadesekretær i Kenya. En rutineopgave i Samburu inddrager ham i en mordsag, hvor fordomme, løgne og bekvemmelighed dækker over sandheden. Politiet løser tilsyneladende sagen, og Rasmus er snart optaget af andre udfordringer. Men da en gammel ven nogle år senere opsøger ham, må han revurdere konklusionen og sin egen rolle. Han må tage tilbage til kilderne i Samburu, hvor han sammen med den pensionerede politimand Kioko Mutumo finder nye oplysninger og yderligere spørgsmål. Det fører ham ind i en verden af vold, bedrag og terror og gør det vanskeligt at fortsætte et liv som nybagt familiefar. Det bliver en fortælling om ansvar, pligt og tvivl. Bo Jensen (f. 1952) er tidligere diplomat og Afrika-kender. Han har boet 20 år i Afrika bl.a. som ambassadør i Malawi, Kenya og Burkina Faso, og har i dagligdagen oplevet mødet mel- lem to på overfladen vidt forskellige kulturer og har set, hvordan alment menneskelige værdier og udfordringer afspejles i dem begge. Han har tidligere skrevet faglitterære bøger og artikler. Kilderne i Samburu er forfatterens skønlitterære debut.

NÅR GODE MENNESKER BEGÅR FORFÆRDELIGE FORBRYDELSERAnika Sand drømmer om at gøre en forskel. Som nyslået kandidat i afrikastudier ankommer hun fra sommer i Danmark til Zimbabwes hovedstad, Harare. Fuld af virkelyst. I sit vikariat hos en dansk ngo lærer hun hurtigt udviklingsbranchens barske realiteter at kende og ser hidtil ukendte sider af sig selv og sine ligestillede i mødet med en sort og en hvid virkelighed.Anikas verdensbillede er i forvejen rystet, da vagten hos hendes nye veninde, landedirektøren for en magtfuld amerikansk ngo, bliver myrdet. Men hendes ønske om at bidrage til forandring er intakt. Hun vikles ind i et opklaringsarbejde, der bringer hende i kontakt med farlige kræfter i det zimbabwiske sikkerhedspoliti, og snart befinder hun sig i en labyrint af hemmeligheder, som mange vil dræbe for at bevare.Spørgsmålet er, hvem Anika kan stole på i Robert Mugabes Zimbabwe, for landets historie med væbnede konflikter mellem landets hvide og sorte befolkning er langtfra slut. Og snart må hun sande, at med ærlighed kommer man meget tæt på døden.DENNIS NØRMARK (f. 1978) er antropolog og videnskabsformidler, foredragsholder og medforfatter til den internationale bestseller Pseudoarbejde – Hvordan vi fik travlt med at lave ingenting (2018).HARARE er Dennis Nørmarks debut som krimiforfatter og baseret på hans indgående research af den afrikanske udviklingsbranche.

Adam Vieri elsker dyr, og derfor er jobbet som dyrepasser i zoologisk have perfekt, men det er, som om alle andre i Stockholm hellere vil spille padeltennis end at gå i zoo. Besøgstallene er mildest talt elendige, og for at få flere gæster anskaffer Adams overambitiøse chef nye og mere eksotiske dyr fra et konkursramt cirkus. Men Adam mener ikke, at løver og elefanter hører hjemme i en skandinavisk dyrepark.Sammen med cirkussets dyrepasser, Natalie, lægger han en plan for at befri de afrikanske dyr. En plan, der involverer kartonvis af lilla mysli, en herskabslejlighed og et lyssky ungarsk fragtfirma.ORDENTLIGE MENNESKER STJÆLER ELEFANTER er en rørende og humoristisk roman om mennesker og dyr, frihed og fangenskab. Og om at finde et sted at høre til.

Gendigtning af gammel afrikansk legende om to brødre, der narrer en løve til ikke at æde dem. Om livet i en landsby på den afrikanske savanne.

Brødrene Bibi og Mo nyder deres vandreture på savannen i Afrika. Især ser de frem til, at svalerne ankommer efter deres lange træk nordpå. En dag er det Bibis tur til at rejse. Mo vil savne ham, men finder trøst i at Bibi siger, han vil komme hjem igen ligesom svalerne. Om svalernes migration, og om at mennesker sommetider, ligesom fuglene, må flytte for f.eks. at få arbejde eller gå i skole.

Although violent conflict has declined in northern Uganda, tensions and mistrust concerning land have increased. Residents try to deal with acquisitions by investors and exclusions from forests and wildlife reserves. Land wrangles among neighbours and relatives are widespread. The growing commodification of land challenges ideals of entrustment for future generations. Using extended case studies, collaborating researchers analyze the principles and practices that shape access to land. Contributors examine the multiplicity of land claims, the nature of transactions and the management of conflicts. They show how access to land is governed through intimate relations of gender, generation and belonging.

Why some cities are more effective than others at reducing inequalities in the built environment: urban governance in São Paulo and Johannesburg For the first time in history, most people live in cities. One in seven are living in slums, the most excluded parts of cities, in which the basics of urban life--including adequate housing, accessible sanitation, and reliable transportation--are largely unavailable. Why are some cities more successful than others in reducing inequalities in the built environment? In Urban Power, Benjamin Bradlow explores this question, examining the effectiveness of urban governance in two "megacities" in young democracies: São Paulo, Brazil, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Both cities came out of periods of authoritarian rule with similarly high inequalities and similar policy priorities to lower them. And yet São Paulo has been far more successful than Johannesburg in improving access to basic urban goods. Bradlow examines the relationships between local government bureaucracies and urban social movements that have shaped these outcomes. Drawing on sixteen months of fieldwork in both cities, including interviews with informants from government agencies, political leadership, social movements, private developers, bus companies, and water and sanitation companies, Bradlow details the political and professional conflicts between and within movements, governments, private corporations, and political parties. He proposes a bold theoretical approach for a new global urban sociology that focuses on variations in the coordination of local governing power, arguing that the concepts of "embeddedness" and "cohesion" explain processes of change that bridge external social mobilization and the internal coordinating capacity of local government to implement policy changes.

"This piece of work is original not in the sense that it is the first of its kind on the subject since many have written on the Uganda crisis of 1966, but in the reinterpretation of facts. Contrary to conventional wisdom, facts do not speak for themselves; they have to be made to speak, and the author has done that. He differs from most previous authors in the sense that he has not dwelt so much on apportioning blame for the outbreak of the 1966 crisis to individual agents. Instead, he largely attributes the crisis to a structural problem-the Lost Counties issue-a landmine planted in the body politic of Uganda by the 1900 Uganda Agreement." Mwambutsya Ndebesa, Makerere University "I find the book quite interesting, thrilling, and well-written. Much of the prose, grammar, and style is to the dot-a clear stylistic consistency that runs all through to the end. It is the kind of book a person interested in the subject may not wish to put down once picked for reading, even though they may disagree with the author." Jimmy Spire Ssentongo, Makerere University.

Discover the 3 rules that every successful group follows that allows them to thrive & dominate even in societies where they are unwanted minorities.This books explores what Africans need to do if they want to improve their lot on this planet and become competitive.

"This compelling set of essays draws from multiple sources - oral traditions, cultural practices, literature and art - to explore how the past is carried into and shapes the African present. Spanning East and West Africa, it offers essential insights to scholars in several disciplines. It deserves to be widely read." (Rhiannon Stephens, Associate Professor of History, Columbia University)."This important collection demonstrates the possibilities of rethinking heritage and memory in Africa, not as fixed marketable products but as living parts of contested pasts, presents and futures. The chapters skillfully illuminate how novelists, artists, activists and ordinary people have continuously unsettled, and even subsumed, the categories that were imposed and naturalized in colonial archives. This wonderful multidisciplinary group of scholars show how engagement with the continuities of knowledge over time beyond the academy or the state, remains critical to the possibility of justice." (Edgar C. Taylor, Lecturer in History, Archaeology and Heritage Studies, Makerere University)."This is a timely response to the calls for both the decolonizing of the syllabus and of African renaissance. I cannot think of any book in the market which has this approach and depth of a variety of articles." (John Blackings Mairi, Professor of Literary Linguistics, University of Juba).'This book essentially poses the question: Are there lessons to draw from Africa's rich past to steer through the present into the future? It is a riveting effort at reincarnating the rich diversity, accumulated and tested cultural heritage, with in situ logics of existence. Identities, tested philosophies, practices and aesthetics of communities are embedded on every page the reader turns. A timely and relevant book at this juncture when Africa seems to have culturally thrown the baby out with the bathwater." (Godfrey Asiimwe, Associate Professor of Development Studies, Makerere University).

Im Kontext des Cultural Heritage Booms sind Erinnerungsorte an Versklavung und Kolonialismus ein Feld gesellschaftlicher Konflikte . Das wurde im Jahr 2020 in der Black Lives Matter Bewegung sichtbar . In der International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) wird in Europa, Afrika und den Amerikas diskutiert, wie an Versklavung erinnert werden soll, wer sich bei wem entschuldigen soll und wer wen entschädigen soll. Die Autorin untersucht historische Schauplätze von Versklavung und Profittransfer, Museen, Monumente und Gedenkzeremonien in Frankreich und Spanien, Martinique und Kuba. In Interviews in den europäischen Haupt- und Hafenstädten hat sie eruiert, wer sich für oder gegen das Gedenken an die afrikanischen Gefangenen engagiert hat. In der Karibik hat die Autorin hat mit Nachfahren von versklavten Menschen über ihre Erinnerungen an die Versklavung, Erfahrungen mit Rassismus und die lokalen Gedenkorte gesprochen. Als Erbe der Versklavung trat dabei die rassistisch geprägte soziale Ungleichheit zu Tage. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Forschende und Studierende der Geschichte und verwandter Disziplinen, sondern an alle, die sich für die Dekolonialisierung von Erinnerungskultur und Geschichtspolitik interessieren.

This book is based on the observation that Luganda's current lexicon is inadequate when it comes to the expression of scientific concepts that exist in a wide range of specialised fields and forms of discourse. The illogical, unsystematic and inconsistent approach to the development of Luganda linguistic terms currently in use indicates that the modernisation of Luganda scientific terminology is done without a model that guides a terminology elaborator's thinking in the process of creating terms. Based on this observation, this book provides a decisive examination of the history of terminology development in Luganda especially in the field of Linguistics. It proceeds to develop a comprehensive model which guides the terminology elaborator's thinking and a style manual which provides a framework for a systematic expansion of the Luganda lexicon. The style manual is anchored on five pillars: Definition and analysis of a term, a standardised rendition of English expression elements into Luganda through the extrapolation of word forms and inventing new affixes, term formation mechanisms, the analogue rule of naming and the evaluation and acceptability mechanism of a new term. Using both the model and the style manual, 300 linguistic terms in Luganda are coined and tested for acceptability. These terms constitute a potentially acceptable corpus of 300 Luganda linguistic terms which can be used in the teaching and learning of Luganda at both secondary and tertiary levels.

Mä¿dir T¿r¿kh al-¿om¿l wa Mar¿ji¿ahu. ¿Arä wa Naqad: This book tackles the most important issues faced by researchers of Somali history, which is the difficulty of knowing the sources and references of Somali history due to the scattering of those sources and references and the lack of a guide or helper to point to them. Hence, the book sheds light on this area and provides researchers with a great service that fills this gap in a country that has completely collapsed and in which all the fundamentals and foundations of research have been lost, hoping it would be a guide for researchers of the history of the Horn of Africa region in its different eras, especially since it is considered the first book in Arabic - at least - to have this title and see the light.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿.¿¿About Mäallin:Dr Mohamed Hussein Müallin Ali was born in Mogadishu in 1964 where his primary and secondary education took place.

This research paper continues [15]. We begin with giving a profound overview of the structure of arbitrary simple groups and in particular of the simple locally finite groups and reduce their Sylow theory for the prime p to a quite famous conjecture by Prof. Otto H. Kegel (see [37], Theorem 2.4: "Let the p-subgroup P be a p-uniqueness subgroup in the finite simple group S which belongs to one of the seven rank-unbounded families. Then the rank of S is bounded in terms of P.") about the rank-unbounded ones of the 19 known families of finite simple groups. We introduce a new scheme to describe the 19 families, the family T of types, define the rank of each type, and emphasise the rôle of Kegel covers. This part presents a unified picture of known results whose proofs are by reference.Subsequently we apply new ideas to prove the conjecture for the alternating groups.Thereupon we are remembering Kegel covers and *-sequences. Next we suggest a way 1) and a way 2) how to prove and even how to optimise Kegel's conjecture step-by-step or peu à peu which leads to Conjecture 1, Conjecture 2 and Conjecture 3 thereby unifying Sylow theory in locally finite simple groups with Sylow theory in locally finite and p-soluble groups whose joint study directs Sylow theory in (locally) finite groups. For any unexplained terminology we refer to [15].We then continue the program begun above to optimise along the way 1) the theorem about the first type "An" of infinite families of finite simple groups step-by-step to further types by proving it for the second type "A = PSLn". We start with proving Conjecture 2 about the General Linear Groups over (commutative) locally finite fields, stating that their rank is bounded in terms of their p-uniqueness, and then break down this insight to the Special Linear Groups and the Projective Special Linear (PSL) Groups over locally finite fields. We close with suggestions for future research -> regarding the remaining rank-unbounded types (the "Classical Groups") and the way 2), -> regarding (locally) finite and p-soluble groups, and -> regarding Cauchy's and Galois' contributions to Sylow theory in finite groups. We much hope to enthuse group theorists with them.We include the predecessor research paper [15] as an Appendix.

A partire dagli anni '40, il giornalismo sportivo iniziò a prendere forma nei giornali stampati del Piauí. Con la professionalizzazione del giornalismo, gli editorialisti sportivi, anche senza aver frequentato corsi, sono riusciti a rendere il periodo dal 1963 al 1983 il più prospero per la professione. Con il calcio che ottiene l'appoggio degli agenti politici, i giornalisti trasformano lo sport in un argomento di dibattito sociale. Attraverso i reportage, possiamo costruire un panorama dell'attività nel Piauí basandoci sui comuni di Teresina e Parnaíba, dove il calcio locale ha avuto inizio. Riportando gli eventi sociali, è possibile vedere come il calcio, la stampa e la politica abbiano stabilito un rapporto di complicità. Il "pane e il circo" della società brasiliana durante la dittatura militare, dove il calcio era lo strumento più importante ed efficace nella strategia di controllo sociale, e quanto la stampa vi abbia contribuito.

Seit den 1940er Jahren nahm der Sportjournalismus in den gedruckten Zeitungen von Piauí allmählich Gestalt an. Mit der Professionalisierung des Journalismus gelang es den Sportkolumnisten, auch ohne Ausbildung, die Zeit von 1963 bis 1983 zur blühendsten für diesen Beruf zu machen. Mit der Unterstützung der politischen Akteure verwandelten die Journalisten den Sport in ein Thema für die gesellschaftliche Debatte. Anhand der Berichte können wir ein Panorama der Aktivitäten in Piauí erstellen, das sich auf die Gemeinden Teresina und Parnaíba stützt, wo der lokale Fußball seinen Anfang nahm. Anhand der sozialen Ereignisse lässt sich erkennen, wie Fußball, Presse und Politik eine Beziehung der Komplizenschaft eingegangen sind. Die "Brot und Spiele" der brasilianischen Gesellschaft während der Militärdiktatur, in der der Fußball das wichtigste und wirksamste Instrument in der Strategie der sozialen Kontrolle war, und wie sehr die Presse dazu beitrug.
