A World of Their Own
Author: Meghan Healy-Clancy
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813936098
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
The politics of black education has long been a key issue in southern African studies, but despite rich debates on the racial and class dimensions of schooling, historians have neglected their distinctive gendered dynamics. A World of Their Own is the first book to explore the meanings of black women’s education in the making of modern South Africa. Its lens is a social history of the first high school for black South African women, Inanda Seminary, from its 1869 founding outside of Durban through the recent past. Employing diverse archival and oral historical sources, Meghan Healy-Clancy reveals how educated black South African women developed a tradition of social leadership, by both working within and pushing at the boundaries of state power. She demonstrates that although colonial and apartheid governance marginalized women politically, it also valorized the social contributions of small cohorts of educated black women. This made space for growing numbers of black women to pursue careers as teachers and health workers over the course of the twentieth century. After the student uprisings of 1976, as young black men increasingly rejected formal education for exile and street politics, young black women increasingly stayed in school and cultivated an alternative form of student politics. Inanda Seminary students’ experiences vividly show how their academic achievements challenged the narrow conceptions of black women’s social roles harbored by both officials and black male activists. By the transition to democracy in the early 1990s, black women outnumbered black men at every level of education—introducing both new opportunities for women and gendered conflicts that remain acute today.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN WORLD - BOOK 1
Author: Kamal Mahalingam
Publisher: Kamal Mahalingam
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Since you’re reading this, I will assume that you are looking for a way to achieve success, peace, and happiness in your life. Well, I believe you have come to the right place. Most definitions of success focus on attaining wealth. While I will not discount the importance of that, my definition of success also includes being in harmony with your nature, being happy with your relationships, and being satisfied with your vocation. Some people instinctively know how to achieve success. Consequently, they have figured out ‘how’ to create their own world. Maybe you've met some of these people. What they all seem to have in common is a fulfillment within themselves, their mates and especially with their calling. Unfortunately, most people do not share that feeling of success especially as it relates to their job or career. If this is a concern for you, then maybe it’s time to consider changing the way you’ve managed your work life. Let me be frank. The intent of this book is to help you find success by teaching you ‘how’ to Create Your Own World. Although you can apply the concepts for Creating Your Own World to many facets of life, however, since a satisfying work life is so essential for happiness, much of what I will focus on is ‘how’ to discover a rewarding work life, often referred to as your ‘Calling’. To achieve success, I believe you need to become enlightened in three distinct areas. First, you need to understand applied psychology, attitudes and how your conscious and sub-conscious minds work. Next, you need to know ‘how’ to harmonize with your true nature. In other words ‘finding your calling’. By finding your ‘calling’, I mean discovering the career you should have, experiencing the peace you should embrace, and doing those activities that you conclude are enjoyable. Finally, to help you discover and actualize your calling you need a successful process. Give me your undivided attention and I will show you exactly what you need to do to discover and achieve an exciting career, and a wonderful life.

No World of Their Own
Author: Poul Anderson
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504024435
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Space explorers returning to an unrecognizable Earth after five millennia away find themselves caught up in a deadly political power game on a planet racing toward intergalactic war Five thousand years have passed since the interstellar spacecraft Explorer left Earth, and now Edward Langley and his two crewmates are returning home. The faster-than-light mission that took only a year for Langley, Matsumoto, and Blaustein has cost them the only world they ever knew. This future Earth is unrecognizable, its global society ruled by a benevolent, all-powerful computer and divided into a strict class structure of masters and slaves. Though war has been eradicated for generations, tensions between the powers on Earth and colonists on Centaurus over mineral mining are rapidly reaching a violent breaking point. The homecoming of three astronauts from the distant past should have no bearing on the present political situation. But the crewmembers did not come back alone—and the alien visitor who accompanied them holds the key to victory or total defeat. One of the most acclaimed of the Golden Age science fiction masters, Poul Anderson has written a provocative and enthralling tale of the future that incorporates his trademark blend of hard science, sociology, and humanism. At once thrilling and thought provoking, No World of Their Own is classic speculative fiction at its page-turning best, as only the incomparable Anderson could imagine it.
