Letters from Togo
"Blake's adventurous essays--her Letters from Togo--are based on the letters she wrote to her friends from Lome, the West African capital where she spent a Fulbright year teaching American literature from 1983 to 1984. As Blake begins the process of making sense out of a vibrant, seeming anarchy, we are pulled along with her into the heart of Togo--a tiny dry strip of a country no one can even find on a map"--Back cover.
Introduction to Togo
Togo is a West African country that has been shaped by its diverse history, ranging from pre-colonial empires to French colonial rule to independence struggles. The country is a relatively small nation in terms of land size and population, but it has a rich cultural and linguistic heritage. The official language is French, but there are many indigenous languages spoken by different ethnic groups throughout the country. Despite being a generally peaceful country, Togo has faced its share of political turbulence in recent years. Togo has experienced numerous coup attempts and waves of social unrest, particularly in relation to fair elections and political freedoms. However, Togo has also made significant strides in economic development, particularly in areas such as agriculture and manufacturing. Togo is also known for its natural beauty, including sandy beaches, rolling hills, and tropical rainforests, making it a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts alike.

Admiral Togo
Togo Heihachiro (1848-1934) was born into a feudal society that had lived in seclusion for 250 years. As a teenage samurai, he witnessed the destruction wrought upon his native land by British warships. As the legendary "Silent Admiral", he was at the forefront of innovations in warfare, pioneering the Japanese use of modern gunnery and wireless communication. He is best known as "the Nelson of the East" for his resounding victory over the Tsar's navy in the Russo-Japanese War, but he also lived a remarkable life: studying at a British maritime college, witnessing the Sino-French War, the Hawaiian Revolution, and the Boxer Uprising. After his retirement, he was appointed to oversee the educa...
Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. In this book, Deborah A. Starr recuperates the work of Togo Mizrahi, a pioneer of Egyptian cinema. Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi’s work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful—and queer—use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi’s films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi’s contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema.
