Whilst he was there, people were living recklessly uncaring of the danger of Covid-19 that was wiping away people all over the world. This novel brings the interconnectedness of the rural folks and how it was difficult to separate them even when the rule was they had to be separated. Activities like cattle herding, funerals, court trials, and village meetings proceeded forward in generating crowds, even though it was dangerous. We see the King telling his subjects to avoid meetings. The novel pervades the Covid-19 theme when it deals with Traditional versus modern Shona Cultural practices on issues to do with death, marriage, ancestral offering, and other day to day activities of Zimbabwean people, especially those of the Manyika tribe, in the eastern Manicaland province of Zimbabwe.

He must also reckon with the brutal colonial history of the Andromedan empire which mirrors his own experience of living with the ramifications of the colonial project on a tiny blue planet called earth. In this exciting conclusion to his epic adventure, Menzi travels to the furthest stars in the sky, but learns about himself and his own world in the process. But he cannot forget that the fate of the universe lies in his hands. Khulekani Magubane is a journalist and author from Estcourt, KwaZulu Natal. He has been writing published books since 2004.

    A visceral and candid portrait of today's Ghanaian youth, told in interconnected short stories by acclaimed spoken-word artist and author of the poetry collection Woman, Eat Me Whole Ama Asantewa Diaka.In this startling collection of short fiction, Ama Asantewa Diaka creates a vibrant portrait of young Ghanaians' today, captured in the experiences of characters whose lives bump against one other in friendship, passion, hope, and heartache. Men like Opoku Sr., not yet forty and struggling to keep his family's cocoa business afloat after his father's unexpected passing. Opoku strains under the burden of caring for his eight younger siblings and the child whose mother ran off. When his new girlfriend tells him she's pregnant, he knows he has nothing left to give.Years later, that girlfriend's son, Opoku Jr., now faces his own troubles, including his girlfriend Boatemaa, who (correctly) suspects he is sneaking around, and Amoafoa, the woman he's seeing on the side. And there is John, who confides to his crush Baaba about a surprising encounter with a male friend over a game of FIFA; Baaba, who falls into a whirlwind romance with her professor that ends in violence; and their friend Ayeley, who is learning to accept pleasure after being raised to believe it is sinful.Diaka charts this constellation of interconnected lives in thirteen stories, exploring themes which run through the collection like a current: corruption and economic hardship, trauma and infidelity, shame, neglect, and the tribulations of the female body. In telling their stories, Diaka illuminates hope, freedom, and triumph that can be found in the everyday?the bonds between women, the joys of love and sex and art and dancing, the possibility of repair and redemption.Renowned for her spoken word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka demonstrates her lyrical brilliance in this emotionally rich work that unveils profound truths about her country, its inhabitants, and the universality of human experience.

    Una guida di viaggio particolare per preparare un viaggio a Sao Tomé e Principe, le isole del cacao, che ritengo utile a chi vuole conoscere il territorio prima di cominciare la programmazione del suo itinerario. Il libro fa parte di una collana titolata False guide di viaggio, che raccoglie una serie di libri che io definisco appunto s-guide, in quanto sebbene abbiano la struttura tipica delle guide turistiche, contenendo effettivamente molte indicazioni, indirizzi, consigli e valutazioni di luoghi che il lettore troverà certamente utili nel seguire quello che comunque rimane un itinerario di viaggio, nella realtà rappresentano invece una collezione di emozioni, di visioni, di storie, raccolte come fiori profumati lungo le strade dei miei viaggi, nei quali ho sempre cercato soprattutto di conoscere cose, di incontrare persone, di appagare curiosità e soprattutto di sconfessare i tanti pregiudizi che tutti noi, io per primo ci portiamo dietro quando partiamo per le strade del mondo. Lo scopo fondamentale quindi, del portare all'attenzione di quei lettori che avranno la bontà di lasciarsi prendere dalla mia, un poco pletorica voglia di raccontare, è anche quella di affascinarli al luogo, alla gente che lo abita, alle cose che ci sono, affinché anche loro possano, come capita a me, lasciarsi andare alla fascinazione dell'andare, dimenticando se è possibile, quella data malefica che sta scritta sul biglietto che conservano con cura in tasca, con l'ora e il luogo in cui, dovranno abbandonare definitivamente il cammino del pensiero, dove hanno potuto per un breve tempo liberare la mente lasciandola volare alto, per dover malauguratamente ma senza opzioni di scelta, ritornare a casa.

    Per la prima volta pubblicato integralmente in lingua italiana un classico della storiografia controcorrente. Il libro è opera del capitano AM Ramsay, deputato inglese internato durante la guerra in un campo di concentramento statunitense per le sue idee politiche vicine all'Asse e contrarie alla guerra. In questo libro il controverso Capitano narra le sue vicissitudini personali ed espone la sua visione storica degli ultimi secoli costellati di guerre e rivoluzioni ( inglese,francese, americana, russa) ed enuclea il centro di questa sovversione mondiale nelle trame di potere di una certa lobby transazionale . Un documento interessante ed una analisi storica controcorrente su cui era calata in Italia una cappa di violenta censura ideologica, anche giudiziaria. Lunga introduzione dell' L'avvocato Edoardo Longo che narra gli sconosciuti retroscena della tormentata edizione italiana e lo scandalo persistente dei processi politici ai dissidenti. In Italia, prima della distruzione delle statue, si è assistito in anni recenti alla distruzione dei libri controcorrente come questo. Brillante traduzione di Silvano Lorenzoni.

    "By the Time You Come Back, the Hutus Will Have Finished Us" is a powerful memoir of survival in the face of unspeakable atrocities. Jean Baptiste was born in former Musange Commune, Gikongoro, called today Nyamagabe in southwestern Rwanda, during the worst massacres of Tutsi in the area. Jean Baptiste recounts his experience of growing up in a hate-filled environment and living under an oppressive regime that ultimately led to the genocide of over one million Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994. When the genocide started in April, Jean Baptiste was in Kigali working as an international freelance journalist for the Inter Press News Agency (IPS). His story is one of resilience, courage, and unimaginable loss as he shares the harrowing details of his family's massacre and his own narrow escape. Jean survived against all odds and in this compelling and deeply personal account, he sheds light on one of the darkest periods in human history. Serving as a testament to the human spirit's strength and endurance. Jean Baptiste¿s hope is that his story will inspire others and help prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.

    The final posthumous work by the coauthor of the major New York Times bestseller The Dawn of Everything.Pirates have long lived in the realm of romance and fantasy, symbolizing risk, lawlessness, and radical visions of freedom. But at the root of this mythology is a rich history of pirate societies-vibrant, imaginative experiments in self-governance and alternative social formations at the edges of the European empire.In graduate school, David Graeber conducted ethnographic field research in Madagascar for his doctoral thesis on the island's politics and history of slavery and magic. During this time, he encountered the Zana-Malata, an ethnic group of mixed descendants of the many pirates who settled on the island at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia, Graeber's final posthumous book, is the outgrowth of this early research and the culmination of ideas that he developed in his classic, bestselling works Debt and The Dawn of Everything (written with the archaeologist David Wengrow). In this lively, incisive exploration, Graeber considers how the protodemocratic, even libertarian practices of the Zana-Malata came to shape the Enlightenment project defined for too long as distinctly European. He illuminates the non-European origins of what we consider to be "Western" thought and endeavors to recover forgotten forms of social and political order that gesture toward new, hopeful possibilities for the future.

    The scintillating conclusion to the critically acclaimed historical saga: the Jan Michalski Prize-winning Sands of the Emperor trilogy."[Couto's] life has been woven into the history of the nation, and he has become the foremost chronicler of Mozambique's antiheroes: its women, its peasants, even its dead." -Jacob Judah, The New York TimesIn The Drinker of Horizons, the award-winning author Mia Couto brings the epic love story between a young Mozambican woman named Imani and the Portuguese sergeant Germano de Melo to its moving close. We resume where The Sword and the Spear concluded: While Germano is left behind in Africa, serving with the Portuguese military, Imani has been enlisted to act as the interpreter to the imprisoned emperor of Gaza, Ngungunyane, on the long voyage to Lisbon. For the emperor and his seven wives, it will be a journey of no return. Imani's own return will come only after a decade-long odyssey through the Portuguese empire at the beginning of the twentieth century. If history is always narrated by the victors, in The Drinker of Horizons, Couto performs an act of restorative justice, giving a voice to those silenced by the horrors of colonialism. Throughout, Couto's language astonishes, rendering with utter clarity the beauty and terror of war and love, and revealing the devastation of a profoundly unequal encounter between cultures.

    In the early years of European colonisation, mining and agriculture were the bases of the Rhodesian colonial economy and manufacturing was virtually non-existent. This study traces the origins and early development of the sector in the inter-war years and its rapid growth during the second world war and the Central African Federation years. It also analyses the fortunes of the manufacturing industry in the troubled Unilateral Declaration of Independence years when international economic sanctions and an escalation of and debilitating war of liberation threatened the sector. Finally the book examines developments in the post-colonial period up to, and including, the years of the Economic Structural Adjustment Programme of the 1990s.

    Horizon Unveiled is a fictionalised autobiography of Fellowes Mwaisela. As a child, standing outside their home in Ilinga Village, Tukuyu District in Mbeya Region, Fellowes was always fascinated by the Nyika Mountains in the distance. What fascinated him the most was the horizon. To him, the horizon line seemingly separated the mountains from the blue sky. In his imagination, his grandmother's village, Ilalabwe, laid at the foot of the Nyika Mountains. As far as he was concerned, beyond the horizon was a bottomless abyss and so there was no life, no nothing. However, his first trip outside Tukuyu District took him beyond the horizon. The trip was to take him hundreds of miles to Precious Stone Town. This revealed to him new realities about life. Later, as a young adult and an adult, he crossed more horizons going even beyond the borders of his country. As the 'horizon became unveiled', he realised that there was more to life than just what one sees within the limits of his or her horizon. The possibilities are endless. It is a journey from innocence to awareness.

    Die Höhle - sowohl als physischer Raum als auch als Metapher - ist eine Provokation, um die Grenzen der zeitgenössischen Architektur zu testen. Sie lädt dazu ein, darüber nachzudenken, wie sich Architektur an eine stärker auf die Gemeinschaft ausgerichtete, ökologisch sensible und schadstoffarme Zukunft anpassen kann. Diese Publikation sowie die begleitende sechste Ausstellung in der Reihe The Architect's Studio im Louisiana Museum of Modern Art sind dem kenianischen Architektenbüro Cave_bureau gewidmet. Stella Mutegi und Kabage Karanja von Cave_bureau beschreiben acht ihrer Projekte. Atemberaubendes Bildmaterial wird von Essays begleitet, die auf griffige Weise Fragen zur Zukunft der Architektur im Zeitalter des Anthropozäns, zu den Auswirkungen der kolonialen Ausbeutung und Auslöschung auf dei afrikanische Architektur sowie zur Besonderheit jedes Kontinents und jedes geografischen Raums stellen.

    This book, which examines the role of African women in the conversation on nationalism during South Africäs era of segregation, excavates female voices and brings them to the provocative fore. From 1910 to 1948, African women contributed to political thought as editorialists, club organizers, poets, leaders, and activists who dared to challenge the country¿s segregationist regime at a time when it was bent on consolidating White power. Daughters of Africa founder Cecilia Lillian Tshabalala and National Council of African Women President Mina Tembeka Soga feature in this work, which employs the artistic theory of ¿sampling¿ and decoloniality to highlight and showcase how these women and others among their cadre spoke truth to power through the fiery lines of their poetry, newspaper columns, thought-provoking speeches, organizational documents, personal testimonies, and musical compositions. It argues that these African women left behind a blueprint to grapple with and contest the political climate in which they lived under segregation, by highlighting the role and agency of African women intellectuals at Apartheid¿s dawn.

    Written by Paul du Chaillu, the explorer who was the first outsider to confirm the existence of the Pygmy people of central Africa and of the gorilla-both of which had only been rumoured at before-this book is a dramatic and continually enthralling account of a nearly seven-year long exploration of West and Central Africa in the 1860s.Commissioned by the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, the author was sent to West Africa and the equator region on that continent in order to establish the nature of the population and the wildlife, which was little known before that time. During his explorations, he became the first outsider to see and capture gorillas, the existence of which was only known from a passing reference in a work by Hanno the Navigator of Carthage dating from the 5th century BC. In addition, Du Chaillu thoroughly documented the native peoples of the regions he explored, recording their customs, dress, habits, technology, and culture. In this manner he also came upon the Pygmy people of central Africa and was the first to document their existence and announce it to the outside world.Du Chaillu's work remains a pioneering effort in exploratory anthropology and has lost none of its vitality or interest over the years. It remains a primary resource for anyone seeking an in-depth insight into pre-colonial and pre-urban West and Central Africa.This new edition has been completely reset and contains all the original illustrations, digitally reproduced to the highest possible quality.

    The words that accompany our experience of and thinking about death are rarely uplifting: grief, loss, mourning, and, of course, fear. Death and everything surrounding it can be terrifying. People fear death. People fear dying. People fear missing out. People fear the loss of others, too. The loss of a loved one is undoubtedly a source of fear for many. The fear and sorrow bound up in the term "death" make it a morbid subject. Often, the topic is avoided in conversation. Death is too melancholic. Death is too miserable. Death is too personal. Death can be personal, of course. The ways it affects oneself can be intimate and, by virtue of its closeness, it can be a thoroughly private matter. Death is personal when it is one's own death, perhaps one's contemplation of or attempt at suicide, or the death of someone known and/or loved. Death has a part to play in our past, our present, and (unavoidably) our future. Death is an omnipresent possibility. Hidden in the wings, death waits for its cue before the final curtain call. All of us await this death and it is the future of us all. The death described here is one that almost everyone will be familiar with: the end of a life. However, there is another death. A second death. An impersonal death. A depersonalised, dispossessed, ungraspable death - that death is the focus of this thesis.

    Le présent travail vise à établir une comparaison biblique, théologique et pastorale des techniques de guérison dans les textes du Nouveau Testament et dans la médecine traditionnelle du Rwanda. Il s'agit d'une part d'une approche biblique et exégétique des textes de guérison du Nouveau Testament, et d'autre part d'une analyse des pratiques de guérison au Rwanda. Les deux doivent être mis en dialogue de la meilleure manière possible. Le mécanisme de confrontation et d'intégration qui a marqué la composition des récits de guérison du NT peut servir de catalyseur au processus de recherche de pratiques utiles à la cure des âmes malades, dans la culture rwandaise.

    Lacking funding to purchase and operate own aircraft, the Rhodesian police established the British South Africa Police Reserve Air Wing (PRAW). Equipped with private aircraft, mostly flown by owner pilots, this extended policing across a country that had few roads, reaching remote villages and farms, separated by long distances. Established in 1967, the PRAW assisted in the capture of criminals, transported police officers, and flew in support of police operations. During the 1960s, it was expanded into three flights with more than 20 aircraft.By 1974, the PRAW included five flights, by 1979, nine, with two of its pilots being awarded the M.B.E. for outstanding services. As the conflict in Rhodesia escalated, it began actively cooperating with the Rhodesian armed forces: its miscellany of Beechs, Cessnas, Pipers, and Taylorcraft - all apparently 'sports and utility' aircraft - were armed: sometimes with light machine guns installed in underwing pods, but often with heavy machine guns that fired through the side doors, de-facto converting them into mini-gunships.Based on extensive use of official documentation, participant recollections, and richly illustrated, the British South Africa Police Reserve Force Air Wing Volume 2 continues an account of this service.

    After the defeat at Colenso, the Natal Field Force under General Buller needed to break through the Boer lines and relieve the besieged town of Ladysmith. Buller's army marched westwards, crossed the Tugela River at Trichardt's Drift and Potgieter's Drift, and from 17-27 January 1900 fought the Boers with artillery and infantry attacks. These significant and prolonged battles have largely been ignored because of the horror of Spion Kop (Spioenkop) on 24 January. Yet Spion Kop began as a small flank attack - only a tenth of the British force were initially involved, and only 300 Boers counter-attacked.This book is the culmination of years of study, and correctly places Spioenkop in the context of the larger campaign. The author uses battlefield archaeology and eyewitness accounts of Boer and British participants to create a highly original and detailed account. This book also serves as a battlefield guide to Tabanyama and Spioenkop, providing detailed maps and numerous GPS locations.

    Few African countries have attracted the international attention that Ghana has. In the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the then-colonial Gold Coast emerged as a key political and intellectual hub for British West Africa. Half a century later, when Ghana became the first sub-Saharan state to emerge from European colonial rule, it became a key site for a burgeoning, transnational, African anticolonial politics that drew activists, freedom fighters, and intellectuals from around the world. As the twentieth century came to a close, Ghana also became an international symbol of the putative successes of post-Cold-War African liberalization and democratization projects. Here Jeffrey Ahlman narrates this rich political history stretching from the beginnings of the very idea of the "Gold Coast" to the country's 1992 democratization, which paved the way for the Fourth Republic. At the same time, he offers a rich social history stretching that examines the sometimes overlapping, sometimes divergent nature of what it means to be Ghanaian through discussions of marriage, ethnicity, and migration; of cocoa as a cultural system; of the multiple meanings of chieftaincy; and of other contemporary markers of identity. Throughout it all, Ahlman distills decades of work by other scholars while also drawing on a wide array of archival, oral, journalistic, and governmental sources in order to provide his own fresh insights. For its clear, comprehensive coverage not only of Ghanaian history, but also of the major debates shaping nineteenth- and twentieth-century African politics and society more broadly, Ghana: A Political and Social History is a must-read for students and scholars of African Studies.

It also explores themes of imperialism, colonialism, and racism, as well as the complex relationships between the different communities living in the region. As a result, "Cetywayo and His White Neighbours" offers a fascinating insight into the history of South Africa and the conflict between European colonialism and indigenous peoples
