How did West African literature in English begin? What influences
affected its birth and development? How much does it imitate
European models? How is traditional African culture influencing
modern writing? What kind of experiments are being tried? These are
some of the questions, relevant to African writing throughout the
continent, which this critical study discusses by examining the
most significant work in verse, prose, drama, children's
literature, journalism and political writing in West Africa. The
author examines the writing of major figures such as Soyinka,
Achebe, Okara, Clark, Tutuola and Ekwensi as well as that of
authors whose work is not as widely known.
First published in 1977, this is an eminently readable introduction
to contemporary literature in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa.
The author examines work in verse, prose and drama, and discusses
vernacular language problems, the role of oral literature and
tradition and the varied responses to the struggle for freedom and
its achievement. He argues that African literature is achieving its
own inner dynamic, revealing a rapid spread of influences from one
side of the continent to the other and a decrease in influences
from the Western world. Part of his argument is based on a
discussion of authors not yet known outside East and Central
Africa, but whose works shows signs of great promise and
originality. Dr Roscoe has close personal knowledge of many of the
authors he discusses, as he has worked in East and Central African
universities throughout the period of the literary awakening he
discusses.
Astrology ascribes meaning to planetary events and assumes that the
energy that moves the universe has a kind of inherent intelligence.
The astrologer maintains that there is a natural resonance between
the evolving motion of the universe, and the development of the
human soul. For the first time, Adrian Duncan shows how to empower
clients and create transformation by harnessing horoscopes.
Duncan has created an innovative manual that masterfully guides
astrological practitioners and interpreters through every aspect of
working with clients. Going beyond astrology simply as a diagnostic
tool, Astrology: Transformation & Empowerment shows how to
harness perception and sensory states to create positive change in
one interpretive session!
Part 1, "Setting the Scene, " explains how to read the client
before reading their chart. Body language, mind reading, and the
elements are touched upon. Part 2, "The Major Players, " depicts
specific planetary combinations and what they entail in regard to
emotional responses, relationships, and the future. Finally, Part
3, "Transformation Methods, " teaches ways to expand awareness of
the problem at hand, reframe the reading, expand sensory skills,
and discover new communications systems. Throughout, Duncan shares
profiles and vignettes of clients that demonstrate his techniques.
