Against the backdrop of overwhelming discourse scholarship
emanating from the Western cosmopolitan centres, this volume offers
a development-centred approach to unfamiliar, marginalized or
otherwise disadvantaged discourses of the Third World or the Global
South. Written by leading researchers based in Asia, Africa and
Latin America, respectively, this book reconstructs Eastern
paradigms of communication studies on the one hand and explores the
discursive problems, complexities, aspirations, and dynamics of the
non-Western, subaltern, and developing societies on the other. As
methodological principles, the authors i) adopt the
cultural-political stance of supporting cultural diversity and
harmony at both academic and everyday levels, ii) draw upon Asian,
African and Latino scholarship in critical dialogue with the
existing mainstream traditions, and iii) make sense of the
discourses of Asia, Africa and Latin America from their own local
as well as global, historical and intercultural, perspectives. This
book will particularly appeal to scholars and students in the
fields of discourse studies, communication and cultural studies,
and development studies.

This report records proceedings, debates and speeches of the
seventh economic summit in Nigeria since transition to democratic
government in 1999. The theme was 'breakthrough economic growth: an
action plan'. Policymakers focus on achievements of the immediate
past and strategies and actions, both short and long term, to
achieve sustainable and private sector-led economic growth which
will deliver the so-called democracy dividend, and thus sustain
Nigeria's nascent democracy. The summit also identifies legal and
administrative institutional bottlenecks requiring reform in order
to attract foreign investment. Welcome and keynote speeches,
ministerial and State Governor addresses, public sector and
government departmental reports are fully documented.
This is the first full-length biography of George James Christian.
Originally from Dominica, Christian qualified as a barrister-at-law
in London, participated in the first pan-African conference and
migrated to the Gold Coast in 1902 where he established his home
and a complex extended family. He ensured that his children were
well educated and they followed his tradition of service to the
community. Shortly after his arrival in the Gold Coast, he
established a legal practice that successfully served a wide range
of clients. His friendship with the renowned Dr James K. Aggrey, as
expressed in their correspondence during the establishment of
Achimota College, together with a discussion of the experience of
Christian's children as staff and students there, provide fresh
data on this important Ghanaian institution. The book also sheds
light on Christian's service in the Legislative Council, his role
as honorary consul for Liberia, his involvement as a Freemason,
businessman and philanthropist.
