Volcanic Reflections: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary
Ecuadorian Poetry is the third in a series of books that aspires to
address a dearth of information in the English-speaking world about
South American poetry of the past thirty years. The nineteen
outstanding poets included here represent a wide diversity of
themes, styles, and perspectives in one of South America's smaller
nations. All of them have published extensively, have been
recognized through literary awards and inclusion in national and
international anthologies, and continue writing and publishing
today. For readers unfamiliar with Ecuador, the Introduction
provides a brief background of its geography, history, politics,
economy, and society. This is followed by an ample selection of
representative poems published previously in Spanish, with
translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a
brief biographical sketch of each poet and an unprecedented
bibliography of primary and secondary sources for those readers who
might want to pursue further reading or research on any poet of
interest. Contemporary Uruguayan Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology and
Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan
Anthology are two companion volumes that offer similar exposure to
poetry that deserves to be better known in the English-speaking
world.
Dictionary - Mtanthauziramawu: Chichewa / Chinyanja - English //
English - Chichewa / Chinyanja (3rd Edition). The English language
has acquired an important position in the societies of Central and
Southern Africa. However, the vernacular languages have remained
indispensable vehicles of communication. For more than 15 million
people in Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe
and South Africa, Chinyanja or Chichewa has become the most
important language of daily life.The language has gained importance
and strength by developments in its written and oral use, and
because an increasing number of its speakers have come to discover
and emphasise their common linguistic heritage and practice. In
that way it has become an intermediary language for all Malawians,
and for many ethnic groups in the whole of Central and Southern
Africa. This edition of the Chichewa / Chinyanja Dictionary has
more than 43,000 entries from and into English. It is an instrument
for Africans and expatriates, foreign workers and visitors,
students and teachers, and for those who deal with English and
Chichewa at a scientific or scholarly level. May it reduce the
language barrier between users of English and of Chichewa /
Chinyanja.
