Book Description
The author's adventurous world travels led her to South Africa and Swaziland in the summer of 2013, a destination she had only dreamed of as she watched movies and read books about the African plains and sunsets. An opportunity to visit a family member working in Swaziland led her to plan the trip of a lifetime across the ocean and into a land rich with magnificent landscapes, curious and friendly natives, and an animal kingdom that left her breathless ... As she easily selected favorite photographs out of dozens from the trip, the poems she wrote flowed easily and quickly, as the images were still fresh in her memory dazzling her mind and senses.

African Diasporas in the New and Old Worlds
Author: Klaus Benesch
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042008809
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In the humanities, the term 'diaspora' recently emerged as a promising and powerful heuristic concept. It challenged traditional ways of thinking and invited reconsiderations of theoretical assumptions about the unfolding of cross-cultural and multi-ethnic societies, about power relations, frontiers and boundaries, about cultural transmission, communication and translation. The present collection of essays by renowned writers and scholars addresses these issues and helps to ground the ongoing debate about the African diaspora in a more solid theoretical framework. Part I is dedicated to a general discussion of the concept of African diaspora, its origins and historical development. Part II examines the complex cultural dimensions of African diasporas in relation to significant sites and figures, including the modes and modalities of creative expression from the perspective of both artists/writers and their audiences; finally, Part III focusses on the resources (collections and archives) and iconographies that are available today. As most authors argue, the African diaspora should not be seen merely as a historical phenomenon, but also as an idea or ideology and an object of representation. By exploring this new ground, the essays assembled here provide important new insights for scholars in American and African-American Studies, Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies, and African Studies. The collection is rounded off by an annotated listing of black autobiographies.

Postcolonial Economies
Author: Jane Pollard
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1848134061
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Postcolonial approaches to understanding economies are of increasing academic and political significance as questions about the nature of globalisation, transnational flows of capital and workers and the making and re-making of territorial borders assume centre stage in debates about contemporary economies and policy. Despite the growing academic and political urgency in understanding how 'other' cultures encounter 'the west', economics-oriented approaches within social sciences have been slow to engage with the ideas and challenges posed by postcolonial critiques. In turn, postcolonial approaches have been criticised for their simplistic treatment of 'the economic' and for not engaging with existing economic analyses of poverty and wealth creation. Utilising examples drawn from India to Latin America, and bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines, including Geography, Economics, Development Studies, History and Women's Studies, Postcolonial Economies breaks new ground in providing a space for nascent debates about postcolonialism and its treatment of 'the economic'.
