Beyond the 'African Tragedy' - Discourses on Development and the Global Economy (Hardcover, New Ed): Malinda S. Smith Beyond the 'African Tragedy' - Discourses on Development and the Global Economy (Hardcover, New Ed)
Malinda S. Smith
R4,286 Discovery Miles 42 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Well researched and constructive, this volume is concerned with the historical and contemporary discourse on African development and the continent's place in the global economy. The chapters critically explore the roles played by various global and local social forces in the construction of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) offering critical insights on financing for development, the WTO and agriculture, ICTs and FDIs and the war on terrorism. NEPAD has been endorsed by the African Union, the Group of Eight and the United Nations System in order to address Africa's deficit through the forging of a global development partnership. This timely resource is suitable for students and policymakers concerned with development in the African postcolonies.

Securing Africa - Post-9/11 Discourses on Terrorism (Paperback): Malinda S. Smith Securing Africa - Post-9/11 Discourses on Terrorism (Paperback)
Malinda S. Smith
R1,650 Discovery Miles 16 500 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This meticulously researched, forcibly argued and accessibly written collection explores the many and complex ways in which Africa has been implicated in the discourses and politics of September 11, 2001. Written by key scholars based in leading institutions in Canada, the United States, the Middle East and Africa, the volume interrogates the impact of post-9/11 politics on Africa from many disciplinary perspectives, including political science, sociology, history, anthropology, religious studies and cultural studies. The essays analyze the impact of 9/11 and the 'war on terror' on political dissent and academic freedom; the contentious vocabulary of crusades, clash of civilizations, barbarism and 'Islamofascism'; alternative genealogies of local and global terrorism; extraordinary renditions to black sites and torture; human rights and insecurities; collapsed states and the development-security merger; and anti-terrorism policies from George W. Bush to Barack Obama. This is a much-needed meditation on historical and contemporary discourses on terrorism.

The Equity Myth - Racialization and Indigeneity at Canadian Universities (Paperback): Frances Henry, Enakshi Dua, Carl E.... The Equity Myth - Racialization and Indigeneity at Canadian Universities (Paperback)

The university is often regarded as a bastion of liberal democracy where equity and diversity are vigorously promoted. In reality, the university still excludes many people and is a site of racialization that is subtle, complex, and sophisticated. This book, the first comprehensive, data-based study of racialized and Indigenous faculty members' experiences in Canadian universities, challenges the myth of equity in higher education. Drawing on a rich body of survey data, interviews, and analysis of universities' stated policies, leading scholars scrutinize what universities have done and question the effectiveness of their employment equity programs. They also make important recommendations as to how universities can address racialization and fulfill the promise of equity in the academy.

Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy - Teaching, Learning, and Researching while Black (Paperback): Awad Ibrahim,... Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy - Teaching, Learning, and Researching while Black (Paperback)
Awad Ibrahim, Tamari Kitossa, Malinda S. Smith, Handel K. Wright
R1,387 Discovery Miles 13 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The essays in Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy make visible the submerged stories of Black life in academia. They offer fresh historical, social, and cultural insights into what it means to teach, learn, research, and work while Black. In daring to shift from margin to centre, the book's contributors confront two overlapping themes. First, they resist a singular construction of Blackness that masks the nuances and multiplicity of what it means to be and experience the academy as Black people. Second, they challenge the stubborn durability of anti-Black tropes, the dehumanization of Blackness, persistent deficit ideologies, and the tyranny of low expectations that permeate the dominant idea of Blackness in the white colonial imagination. Operating at the intersections of discourse and experience, contributors reflect on how Blackness shapes academic pathways, ignites complicated and often difficult conversations, and reimagines Black pasts, presents, and futures. This unique collection contributes to the articulation of more nuanced understandings of the ways in which Blackness is made, unmade, and remade in the academy and the implications for interrelated dynamics across and within post-secondary education, Black communities in Canada, and global Black diasporas.
