A College Introduction to African-centered Theory: Selected Readings in Africana Studies provides students with a compilation of scholarly works on Africana studies, African-centered theoretical models, and African-centered schools of thought. The anthology is comprised of foundational readings used widely within Africana studies and four new writings by scholars in the discipline. Part I provides readers with an overview of the origins, demands, and challenges surrounding the struggle to bring about and sustain Africana studies in the American academy. The readings in Part II introduce students to worldview, cosmology, and epistemology as the foundational ideas for African-centered theory. Parts III, IV, and V explore three African-centered schools of thought: Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations, African-centered Psychology, and The Temple School of Thought. The final reading shows how African-centered theory can continue to address pressing needs of Africana people in the 21st century and serve as a method for the liberation of political prisoners and other incarcerated people. Throughout, section introductions provide a brief historical, conceptual, and biographical framework through which to view the readings. Terms, concepts, and thinkers of importance are identified to help students build an African-centered vocabulary and become familiar with meaningful contributors to the discipline. The anthology includes discussion questions to support student learning and inspire lively discussion and thoughtful reflection. Engaging and comprehensive, A College Introduction to African-centered Theory is an excellent resource for undergraduate courses in Africana studies.

Green tea, imported from China, occupies an important place in the daily lives of Malians. They spend so much time preparing and consuming the sugared beverage that it became the country's national drink. To find out how Malians came to practice the tea ritual, this study follows the beverage from China to Mali on its historical trade routes halfway around the globe. It examines the circumstances of its introduction, the course of the tea ritual, the equipment to prepare and consume it, and the meanings that it assumed in the various places on its travel across geographical regions, political economies, cultural contexts, and religious affiliations.

Bart de Graaff; Translated by Daniel Hugo
R99 Discovery Miles 990 Ships in 6 - 10 working days

Bart de Graaff is ’n Nederlandse historikus en joernalis wat ’n besonderse belangstelling in die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek en kultuur het. In 2015 en 2016 het hy verskeie besoeke aan Suid-Afrika en Namibie gebring. Sy oogmerk was om die nasate van die Khoi-Khoin, synde die eerste “ware mense” van die subkontinent, op te spoor, en aan die woord te stel. Hierdie boek is die resultaat van sy onderhoude. De Graaff kontekstualiseer nie net die geskiedenis van die Khoi-Khoin en haar vele vertakkings nie, maar stel ook bepaalde eietydse leiersfigure in die onderskeie gemeenskappe aan die woord. Daarvolgens word die historiese kyk na legendariese kapteins soos die Korannas se Goliat Yzerbek, die Griekwas se Adam Kok, die Basters se Dirk Vilander, Abraham Swartbooi van die Namas en Frederik Vleermuis van die Oorlams afgewissel met De Graaff se persoonlike reisindrukke en die talle gesprekke wat hy met die waarskynlike nasate van bogenoemde leiers gehad het. In sy onopgesmukte skryfstyl, vol deernis en humor, vertel De Graaff van hierdie ontmoetings en gesprekke en algaande kom die leser onder die indruk van die sistemiese geweld wat teen die Khoi-Khoin oor soveel eeue heen gepleeg is. Dit is ’n belangrike boek wat die geskiedenis en huidige stand van die bruin mense onder hulle landsgenote se aandag bring.

R352 Discovery Miles 3 520 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In the declining years of the British Empire, in Northern Rhodesia, Stewart Gore-Browne was a proper English gentleman who built himself a sprawling country estate, complete with liveried servants, rose gardens, and lavish dinners finished off with vintage port in the library. All that was missing was a woman to share it with. He adored the beautiful aviatrix Ethel Locke King, but she was almost twenty years his senior, married, and his aunt. Lorna, the only other woman Gore-Brown cared for, was married as well, but years later her orphaned daughter would become Gore-Browne's wife. The story of a colonialist who beat his servants yet supported Rhodesian independence and who was given a chief's burial by the local elders when he died, "The Africa House" rescues "from oblivion the life story of an astonishing man, an astonishing marriage, and an astonishing house" ("The Spectator").
