Emmanuel Neba-Fuh in this comprehensive chronological compilation and thorough narrative of the history of white supremacy in Africa provide an unflinching fresh case that African poverty - a central tenet of the “shithole” demonization, is not a natural feature of geography or a consequence of culture, but a direct product of imperial extraction from the continent – a practice that continues into the present. A brutal and nefarious tale of slave trade, genocides, massacres, dictators supported, progressive leaders murdered, weapon-smuggling, cloak-and-dagger secret services, corruption, international conspiracy, and spectacular military operations, he raised the most basic and fundamental question - how was Africa (the world’s richest continent) raped and reduced to what Donald J. Trump called “shithole?” By V. Mbanwie
This is the first book to examine in detail the relationship between the Cold War and International Law.
Black and White in Colour considers how the African past has been represented in a wide range of historical films. Written by an eminent team of scholars, the volume provides extensive coverage of issues that have been prominent in the written history of Africa.

The contributions discuss the complex relations between law, media and visual phenomena. The common theme of the essays consists in an examination of the scopic field and of regimes of visibility in phenomenological terms, arguing that law constitutes a cognitive and aesthetic field of normative world-making. Rather than merely inverting Shelley’s dictum that the "poe...

Jack Kramsky – the author’s maternal great grandfather – escaped from Russia as a 13-year-old stowaway on a ship, ending up in South Wales, and not America, which was his intended destination with dreams of a better life. Jack was a kind religious man and a real character, confirmed by his many run-ins with the law while bringing up his large family. A Kramsky Scrap Book is full of family anecdotes and tales, often originally captured by the author on tape recorder. It’s also a mine of information about Swansea and the Gower coast, which held special memories for the author, who has retraced many of the journeys made by Jack.
