On March 31, 1968, over 500 Black nationalists convened in Detroit to begin the process of securing independence from the United States. Many concluded that Black Americans' best remaining hope for liberation was the creation of a sovereign nation-state, the Republic of New Afrika (RNA). New Afrikan citizens traced boundaries that encompassed a large portion of the South--including South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana--as part of their demand for reparation. As champions of these goals, they framed their struggle as one that would allow the descendants of enslaved people to choose freely whether they should be citizens of the United States. New Afrikans also argued fo...
Afrika is currently on a path of development that is not sustainable, because we confuse modernisation with Westernisation. This Afrikan-Western paradox prevents us from building a modern, dynamic Afrikan society - and it will take highly visionary and transformational leadership on our part as Afrikans to reinvent ourselves and build a truly modern Afrikan society. What would the world be like if its institutions were based on the values and practices of a traditional African village? In Leading Afrika, Mandivamba Rukuni re-evaluates the concepts underlying traditional African leadership principles and systems, and illustrates how these can form a modern basis for the African Renaissance. By arguing for the inclusive and traditional values expressed in the philosophy and practices of Unhu-Ubuntu-Botho, the author reminds the reader of historic successes in Africa, and illustrates how leaders globally at all levels can draw on traditional African values the better to lead their nations' people, whether at home, in the community, in business or in government.
From Guy Saville, the explosive new thriller of a world that so nearly existed Africa, 1952. More than a decade has passed since Britain's humiliation at Dunkirk brought an end to the war and the beginning of an uneasy peace with Hitler. The swastika flies from the Sahara to the Indian Ocean. Britain and a victorious Nazi Germany have divided the continent. The SS has crushed the native populations and forced them into labor. Gleaming autobahns bisect the jungle, jet fighters patrol the skies. For almost a decade an uneasy peace has ensued. Now, however, the plans of Walter Hochburg, messianic racist and architect of Nazi Africa, threaten Britain's ailing colonies. Sent to curb his ambitions is Burton Cole: a one-time assassin torn between the woman he loves and settling an old score with Hochburg. If he fails unimaginable horrors will be unleashed on the continent. No one – black or white – will be spared. But when his mission turns to disaster, Burton must flee for his life. It is a flight that will take him from the unholy ground of Kongo to SS slave camps to war-torn Angola – and finally a conspiracy that leads to the dark heart of The Afrika Reich itself.
About the Book This collection of poems speaks volumes about the new Gambia under democracy, The Gambia by then under dictatorship, and expressed the poet's love towards his heartbeat. It further addresses global politics, a modern world religion, and the new world order. The title of the book takes its name from the current happenings in Africa- war, corruption, coup d'état, hatred, poverty, bribery, inferiority of the black race, to name a few. Haunting, gripping, and lyrical- a book you won't want to put down for its distinct diction and inexplicable eloquence: an excellent debut that sensitively prophesizes the coming of the Anti-Christ and the present chaos in the world, in connection...
Uiters belangrike narratief oor skooltaalvoorkeur het hom tussen 2006 en 2010 in Suid-Afrika afgespeel. Hierdie gebeurtenisse het diep in die Suid-Afrikaanse onderwys- en taalwêreld ingesny, en ook in die buiteland belangstelling gelok. Die koerante het volledig daaroor berig: oor die hofsake, die skoolhoofde, die skole, ouers en die leerders. Maar hoe gemaak as onderwyskundiges, sosiolinguiste, taalbeplanners, taalhistorici en vaklui van aansluitende dissiplines later die punte van hulle vingers op die besonderhede van daardie gebeurtenisse wil lê?
