Noel Chabani Manganyi: Being-While-Black-and-Alienated in Apartheid South Africa

History

Africa

Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc.

<p>Focuses on capital cities in nine sub-Saharan African countries, and traces how the power vested in them has evolved through different colonial backgrounds, radically different kinds of regimes after independence, waves of popular protest, explosive population growth and in most cases stunted economic development. Starting at the point of national political emancipation, each case study explores the complicated processes of nation-state building through its manifestation in the 'urban geology' of the city its architecture, iconography, layout and political use of urban space. Although the evolution of each of these cities is different, they share a critical demographic feature: an extraordinarily rapid process of urbanization that is more politically than economically driven. Overwhelmed by the inevitable challenges resulting from this urban sprawl, the governments seated in most of these capital cities are in effect both powerful wielding power over their populace and powerless, lacking power to implement their plans and to provide for their inhabitants.<br>CONTENTS: </p>

Sankara’s legacy, unclear as it may be, still lives and he remains immensely popular. If you travel through Africa his image is unmistakable. His picture, with beret and broad grin, is pasted on run-down taxis and is found on the walls of local bars. Internationally Sankara is often referred to as the ‘African Che Guevara’ and like his South American counterpart; it is his perseverance, dedication and incorruptibility that appeal to the imagination. Voices of liberation: Thomas Sankara starts with a comprehensive timeline covering Thomas Sankara’s life and major events in the history of the continent and region.

<p>Why write a new book about Steve Biko? Are there untapped lessons to be learned or principles to be gleaned from Biko’s work? As he answers these questions, Mabogo More presents an unparalleled critique of Biko’s philosophy and social theory. Perhaps most important, he shows how Biko’s ideas speak to the present human condition, especially the black condition, not only in South Africa, but also in the United States, Europe, and other societies where racism continues to manifest in various forms.</p>

Plethoric with unpublished words and phrases critical for validating a long homosexual presence in our African history. A beautiful, sad, and heroic story!"--Glenda Gray, South African Medical Research Council<br /> <br /> "Edwards and Epprecht use history from below to disturb prevailing and dominant narratives of the South African past while also reexamining a particular history of the present with a calm integrity, diligence, imagination, and thoughtfulness.This is a rich and rewarding book."--Wale Abebanwi, University of Oxford<br /> <br /> "A fascinating pathbreaking account of African male same-sex practices."--Dunbar Moodie, Hobart and William Smith Colleges<br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div>The very existence of homosexual working-class men in South Africa has long-been suppressed--or worse.

<p>Fanon has written that colonialism gets under the skin of the colonized by taking control of a people's history, language, and culture--and denigrating all three. Exploring this reality, the authors of<i>Language, Culture and Decolonisation</i>draw on history, politics, philosophy, and literary studies to put forth a range of arguments about the importance of indigenous languages in the formation and expression of postcolonial identity.<br /> <br /> CONTENTS:&nbsp;&nbsp; <ul> <li>Introduction: Language and Decoloniality in Context--D. Boucher.</li> <li>Decolonisation and the Pedagogy of the Oppressed: Circulations and Language in the Postcolonial Word--C.
