Loving Endeavour highlights the challenges faced by rural communities in Zimbabwe from the 1950s - the days of the federation of Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland - through the Unilateral Declaration of Independence years starting in 1965 and further onwards through the years of the liberation struggle in the 1970s. Progress in healthcare and education in a rural part of western Zimbabwe is traced and highlighted with reference to Francis Boatwright and his wife Monica. Boatwright was an exceptional Anglican missionary whose range of skills, interests and abilities ranged from construction work to journalism and administration. He provided much-needed leadership and expertise in the development of an educational institution which also included a clinic.

Constructing the Field
Author: Vered Amit
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134640684
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Ethnographic fieldwork is traditionally seen as what distinguishes social and cultural anthropology from the other social sciences. This collection responds to the inte nsifying scrutiny of fieldwork in recent years. It challenges the idea of the necessity for the total immersion of the ethnographer in the field, and for the clear separation of professional and personal areas of activity. The very existence of 'the field' as an entity separate from everyday life is questioned. Fresh perspectives on contemporary fieldwork are provided by diverse case-studies from across North America and Europe. These contributions give a thorough appraisal of what fieldwork is and should be, and an extra dimension is added through fascinating accounts of the personal experiences of anthropologists in the field.

Harold Adams Innis
Author: Donald G. Creighton
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442637854
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Harold Adams Innis died a quarter century ago. At the time of his death in 1952 he was Canada's pre-eminent scholar in the field of the social sciences. His reputation was based on his monumental contributions to Canadian economic history and the role of the means of communication in shaping history. As so often happens, his ideas were not greatly followed up, except by Marshall McLuhan, for some years after his death, but there is no growing recognition among Canada's scholars of the depth of his perceptions and the fruitfulness of his thought for understanding of Canada's and of world history. A close friend of Innis at the University of Toronto was Donald G. Creighton, who wrote this memoir of his life in the summer of 1953. To this paperback edition of that work, Professor Creighton has added a new introduction on its origins in the university conditions of its time. A personal tribute, the book is written in Creighton's distinctive and elegant style; it is a skilful biography which will serve well to introduce the career, character, and thought of Harold Adams Innis to a new audience. Donald Creighton himself is recognized as one of the outstanding scholars of his time. Like Innis, he has reinterpreted Canadian history in his many books and this finely crafted memoir reveals the gifts of both the biographer and his subject.
