Arthur Nelson’s Old Curiosity Shop
Arthur’s great grandfather opened an old antique shop and passed it down from generation to generation. For Arthur’s seventieth birthday, his children surprise him by transforming his ancestors’ shop into a museum. They also get in touch with long lost relatives Arthur hasn’t seen in years. They gather together and share the stories of what their grandparents lived through. They recount events like the fire in Newcastle, the creation of the Jesmond Dene public park, and the unhealthy sewage waste near Sunderland. Author Romi Deonanan pulls some of her characters’ tales from reality, especially the stories of ghosts and angels. Arthur Nelson’s Little Old Curiosity Shop is a heartwarming example of family values working in unity regardless of the poverty, heartache, and pain that lingers in the past. With love and care, these relations congregate to prepare a better future for the generations to come.
Southern Theory
Southern Theory presents the case for a radical re-thinking of social science and its relationships to knowledge, power and democracy on a world scale. Mainstream social science pictures the world as understood by the educated and affluent in Europe and North America. From Weber and Keynes to Friedman and Foucault, theorists from the global North dominate the imagination of social scientists, and the reading lists of students, all over the world. For most of modern history, the majority world has served social science only as a data mine. Yet the global South does produce knowledge and understanding of society. Through vivid accounts of critics and theorists, Raewyn Connell shows how social ...
Workers’ Remittances
This paper shows that remittance flows significantly increase the business cycle synchronization between remittance-recipient countries and the rest of the world. Using both aggregate and bilateral remittances data in a panel data setting, the study demonstrates that this effect is robust and causal. Moreover, the econometric analysis reveals that remittance flows are more effective in channeling economic downturns than upswings from the sending countries to remittance-receiving economies. The analysis suggests that measures of openness and spillovers could be enhanced by accounting for the role of the remittances channel.
Africa's Finances
Globally, the volume of remittances to developing countries exceeds the development aid budgets. This volume explores the contribution of remittances to Africaâ (TM)s finances and provides concrete guidelines as to how these may be expanded. It contains essays by the field leaders in this area which record, review and revise our knowledge base on Africaâ (TM)s remittance patterns. The advent of new information communication technologies can contribute to an expanded capture of remittances from the African diaspora and in Africa new forms of money transfer are already taking shape which reflect this affordance. The volume also examines other resources, such as skills, that the African diaspora remits in its patterns of contact with Africa. The volume, shaped out of a conference on remittances and the African diaspora held at the Institute for African Development at Cornell University, is a timely reminder of the substantial role to be played in Africaâ (TM)s development by Africans themselves.
