Mediating Violence from Africa explores how African and non-African
Francophone authors, filmmakers, editors, and scholars have
packaged, interpreted, and filmed the violent histories of
post–Cold War Francophone Africa. This violence, much of which
unfolded in front of Western television cameras, included the use
of child soldiers facilitated by the Soviet Union’s castoff
Kalashnikov rifles, the rise of Islamist terrorism in West Africa,
and the horrific genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Through
close readings of fictionalized child-soldier narratives, cinematic
representations of Islamist militants, genocide survivor testimony,
and Western scholarship, George S. MacLeod analyzes the ways
Francophone African authors and filmmakers, as well as their
editors and scholarly critics, negotiate the aesthetic, political,
cultural, and ethical implications of making these traumatic
stories visible. MacLeod argues for the need to periodize these
productions within a “post–Cold War” framework to emphasize
how shifts in post-1989 political discourse are echoed, contested,
or subverted by contemporary Francophone authors, filmmakers, and
Western scholars. The questions raised in Mediating Violence from
Africa are of vital importance today. How the world engages with
and responds to stories of recent violence and loss from Africa has
profound implications for the affected communities and individuals.
More broadly, in an era in which stories and images of violence,
from terror attacks to school shootings to police brutality, are
disseminated almost instantly and with minimal context, these
theoretical questions have implications for debates surrounding the
ethics of representing trauma, the politicization of memory, and
Africa’s place in a global (as opposed to a postcolonial or
Euro-African) economic and political landscape.
Written in response to a growing demand on the part of pig farmers,
here is a text-book which will provide a working manual to which
reference can be readily made. Not all the diseases discussed in
the text are of interest to pig producers in the United Kingdom but
they have been included in the hope that they may be of interest to
pig farmers in other countries. Also some of the diseases discussed
are subject to the restrictions under the Diseases of Animals Acts
and Orders, but they have been included in the hope that owners may
recognise the cardinal symptoms of these diseases and take action
accordingly.
Many farmers today are concerned, not only with the increasing cost
of conventional drugs, but also with their side-effects and the
build-up of resistant strains of bacteria due to the continued and
often indiscriminate use of antibiotics. While this book will
appeal to the already converted it is hoped that the unprejudiced
newcomer will be sufficiently encouraged to investigate this system
of medicine and enjoy its undoubted benefits. The aim of the
homeopathic approach is to build up the health of the herd and
increase the resistance of its individual members to disease, and,
in consequence to increase the milk output and quality. Homeopathic
remedies are all derived from natural sources and George Macleod
outlines the homeopathic approach to the commoner diseases of
cattle, omitting only serious injuries and others which are not
economic to treat.
This book is written to satisfy the needs of the increasing numbers
of dog lovers who are interested in alternative methods to treat
their pets. This comprehensive guide introduces the principles of
homoeopathy and the nature of homoeopathic remedies, explaining how
remedies can be prepared and administered. There are informative
sections on treating the different canine bodily systems and the
specific diseases that dogs may suffer from. There is also helpful
advice on canine virus and bacterial diseases, as well as the
diseases of puppyhood, making this book a must for any dog owner.
