12100 ABU LUGHOD, LILA Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society . &&&&& 317 p., ills.,map, index, bibl iogr 1988 University of California Press SOFTCOVER: (orig. paperb. VERY GOOD) Lila Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But her analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of a system of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the relationship between ideology and human experience."

Drie vrienden die dezelfde eliteschool hebben bezocht, komen na een staatsgreep in het centrum van de macht terecht, maar worden door interne en externe spanningen uiteen gedreven en kunnen uiteindelijk alleen nog proberen het vege lijf te redden.Dit drama in een verafgelegen land brengt Achebe dichtbij door het de betrokkenen zelf te laten vertellen: zo wordt de veranwoordelijkheid niet anoniem.

500241 ANDRADE, MARIO PINTO DE The Revolution Will Be a Poetic Act - African Culture and Decolonization Millar, Lanie; Moore, Fabienne (EDS). . XX + 215 p., bibliogr., index 2024 Polity SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperb.BRAND NEW) Foreword by Lanie MillarThis book is a collection of essays and speeches by Mario Pinto de Andrade, the Angolan literary critic, cultural theorist and political activist and one of Africas most important 20th century intellectuals. His writings think through the task of intellectual emancipation of colonized people, which he saw as predicated on the necessary project of political decolonization. As anti-colonial movements got underway, Andrade wrote extensively about the urgent necessity for Africans to turn away from European cultural and political models, arguing that communities emerging from colonization should focus on voices from within the designated communities, on self-representation, and on horizontal relationships among Black, African, and decolonizing peoples. Andrade played a key role in theorizing the international reach of the revolutionary 20th century poetry and literature, Black cultural vindication, and African liberation. In his ethical commitment to moving away from focusing solely on the relationship between the colonial occupier and the colonized, he instead promoted ideas and actions that would construct mutual understanding among decolonizing communities. Andrades work offers models to rethink race and nation as analytic categories and is particularly relevant not only to scholars of African decolonization movements but to anyone engaged in contemporary conversations about race, belonging, and political community.

VERY GOOD) ZELDZAAM. Alexandrine "Alexine" Pieternella Françoise Tinne (Den Haag, 17 oktober 1835 - nabij Ghat (Libië), 1 augustus 1869) was een Nederlandse expeditiereiziger die in 1862 en 1863 in Centraal-Afrika rondtrok en vervolgens in 1868/69 ver in de Sahara reisde. Op 33-jarige leeftijd werd zij vermoord in de Libische woestijn. Alexandrine Tinne (1835 - 1869) was negen jaar oud toen haar vader overleed. Hij was een succesvolle zakenman die plantages bezat in Guyana. Alexandrine erfde een groot vermogen van 33.000 pond, wat in die tijd enorm veel geld was. Haar moeder, Henriëtte Marie Louise van Capellen, was hofdame bij koningin Sophie, de vrouw van koning Willem III.Alexandrine en haar moeder hadden een grote drang naar vrijheid en avontuur. Samen reisden ze naar Afrika in het midden van de 19e eeuw. Ze waren niet bang om risico's te nemen en trokken naar het gebied van de Nijl. Hun avontuurlijke reizen waren zeer ongewoon voor vrouwen uit die tijd. Ze wilden nieuwe landen en volkeren verkennen en genieten van hun vrijheid. Hun verhalen werden vastgelegd in brieven die ze naar huis stuurden. Deze brieven geven ons een kijkje in de meeslepende en spannende lotgevallen van twee Haagse dames.

19279 GADALLA, MOUSTAFA De Oude Egyptische Wortels van het Christendom Bijgewerkte druk van 2022. . XIII + 95 p., z/w ills., landkaart, bibliogr. 2022 London : Ingram / Tehuti Research Foundation SOFTCOVER: (Or. paperback. ONGELEZEN NIEUW) ZELDZAAM VOORAL DEZE EDITIE. Egyptische wortels van het christendom, zowel historisch als geestelijk.Deze in het Nederland vertaalde editie onthult de Oude Egyptische wortels van het christendom, zowel historisch als spiritueel. Dit boek laat zien dat de verhalen van de "historische Jezus" volledig zijn gebaseerd op het leven en de dood van de Egyptische farao, Twt / Tut-Ankh-Amen (Toetanchamon); en dat de "Jezus van het geloof" en de christelijke dogma's, allen een Egyptische oorsprong kennen - zoals de essentie van de leer/boodschap, evenals de religieuze feestdagen.Juist datgene dat nu de Christelijke religie wordt genoemd, bestond reeds in het Oude Egypte, lang vóór de invoering van het Nieuwe Testament. De Britse Egyptoloog, Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, schreef in zijn boek, The Gods of the Egyptians [1969],De nieuwe religie (Christendom) die daar gepreekt werd door St. Mark en zijn directe volgelingen, leek in al zijn fundamenten erg sterk op dat wat het resultaat van de verering van Osiris, Isis en Horus was.De overeenkomsten, opgemerkt door Budge en al wie de Egyptische Osiris/Isis/Horus allegorie met het evangelieverhaal vergeleken heeft, zijn opvallend. Beide verhalen zijn nagenoeg gelijk, b.v. de bovennatuurlijke conceptie, de goddelijke geboorte, de strijd tegen de vijand in de wildernis en de herrijzenis uit de dood naar het eeuwige leven. Het belangrijkste verschil tussen de "twee versies" is dat het Evangelieverhaal als historisch wordt gezien en de Osiris/Isis/Horus-cyclus als een allegorie. De geestelijke boodschap van de Oude Egyptische Osiris/Isis/Horus-allegorie en de Christelijke openbaring is volledig hetzelfde.De Britse geleerde A.N. Wilson vermeldde in zijn boek, Jesus:De Jezus van de Geschiedenis en de Christus van het Geloof zijn twee aparte wezens, met zeer verschillende verhalen. Het is moeilijk genoeg om de eerste te reconstrueren en bij deze poging brengen we waarschijnlijk onherstelbare schade toe aan de tweede.Dit boek zal aantonen dat de "Jezus van de Geschiedenis", de "Jezus van het Geloof" en de leerstellingen van het Christendom allemaal Oud Egyptisch zijn. Dit zal gebeuren zonder, zoals A.N. Wilson vreesde, "onherstelbare schade" aan te richten en dit om twee belangrijke redenen: Ten eerste moet de waarheid worden verteld. Ten tweede zal het uitleggen van de Christelijke leerstellingen via hun oorspronkelijke Oude Egyptische context, het idealisme van het Christendom versterken.Dit boek bestaat uit twee delen:Het eerste deel toont aan dat de verhalen van de "historische Jezus" volledig gebaseerd zijn op het leven en de dood van de Egyptische farao, Toet-anch-amon/Twt/Tut-Ankh-Amen.Het tweede deel toont aan dat de "Jezus van het geloof" en de Christelijke leerstellingen allemaal van Egyptische oorsprong zijn - waaronder bijvoorbeeld de essentie van de leer/de boodschap; evenals de religieuze feestdagen.Er is een onmiskenbare ironie en een verregaande, diepe, niet te ontkennen waarheid in het profetische gezegde van Hosea: Uit Egypte heb ik mijn Zoon geroepen. Inderdaad een diepe ironie.Laten we onze geest openen en het beschikbare bewijsmateriaal overlopen. De waarheid is een samenstelling van verschillende, complementaire stukken van een puzzel. Laten we de stukjes op de juiste plaats, het juiste tijdstip en in de juiste volgorde leggen. [KEY WORDS: Africa Egypt archaeology cultural history, Philosophy & Religion ] EUR 17,50

19131 MOYO, DAMBISA Dead Aid. Why aid is not working and how there is another way for Africa . &&&&& XX + 208 p., bibliogr., index 2010 Penguin Books Ltd SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperb.,Small name endpaper, VERY GOOD) Dead Aid reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary. We all want to help. Over the past fifty years $1 trillion of development aid has flowed from Western governments to Africa, with rock stars and actors campaigning for more. But this has not helped Africa. It has ruined it. Dead Aid shows us another way. Using hard evidence to illustrate her case, Moyo shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around. First we must destroy the myth that aid works - and make charity history. 'Articulate, self-confident and angry . this book marks a turning point' Spectator 'A damning assessment of the failures of sixty years of western development' Financial Times 'Kicks over the traditional piety that Western aid benefits the third world' Sunday Herald Books of the Year 'Dambisa Moyo makes a compelling case for a new approach' Kofi Annan 'This reader was left wanting a lot more Moyo, a lot less Bono' Niall Ferguson Dambisa Moyo worked at Goldman Sachs for eight years, having previously worked for the World Bank as a consultant. Moyo completed a PhD in Economics at Oxford University, and holds a Masters from Harvard University Kennedy School of Government. Her other books include Winner Take All and How the West was Lost. She was born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia. Reveals why millions are actually poorer because of aid, unable to escape corruption and reduced, in the West's eyes, to a childlike state of beggary. In this book, the author shows how, with access to capital and with the right policies, even the poorest nations can turn themselves around.

31124 OKRI, BEN Stars Of The New Curfew First published in this edition.. . 194 p. 1987 Vintage Publishing SOFTCOVER: (Orig. pict. cover. Very light traces of use. VERY GOOD) This collection of short stories is set in Nigeria and reflects the mad, exotic and often dangerous chaos which reigns there. They include jumbled up voodoo stories, stories of shanty towns and of men from the villages seeking their fortunes in the streets and filthy gutters of the new towns.Ben Okri has published 8 novels, including The Famished Road, as well as collections of poetry, short stories and essays. His work has been translated into more than twenty languages. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and has been awarded the OBE as well as numerous international prizes, including the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Africa, the Aga Khan Prize for Fiction and the Chianti Rufino-Antico Fattore. He is a Vice-President of the English Centre of International PEN and was presented with a Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum. He was born in Nigeria and lives in London.To enter the world of Ben Okri's stories is to surrender to a new reality. Set in the chaotic streets of Lagos and the jungle heart of Nigeria, all the laws of cause and effect, fact and fiction, are suspended. It is a world where the lives of the powerless veer terrifyingly close to nightmare. In rich, lyrical, almost hallucinatory prose Ben Okri guides us through the fabulous and the mundane, the serene and the randomly violent. The unrelenting Nigerian heat and the implacable darkness of the black-out and the military curfew are the backdrops for this characters each finding their own ways to survive. We witness their dogged resistance to impotence, their unquenchable humour and their insistence on the possibility of love in the face of terror. Written with the lucid clarity and logic of dream, STARS OF THE NEW CURFEW is a book of visionary imagination. To enter the world of Ben Okri's stories is to surrender to a new reality.

300541 RANSFORD, OLIVER The Rulers of Rhodesia From Earliest Times to the Referendum . First Edition. X+ 345 p., b/w photogr. on plates, double page map, index. bibliogr 1968 London :John Murray HARDCOVER: (Orig.red cloth, gilt. title. Dust jacket. VERY GOOD) Traces the history of Rhodesia from earliest times up to the referendum of 1922 when the Rhodesian electorate decided to seek independence under the Crown, rather than accept the South African Government's generous terms of union. (Ransford) begins with a study of the early bushmen and their art. He then moves from this 'golden age' to the growth of the Monomatapan empire - which is best remembered for its great Zimbabwe-type stone buildings - and to its subjection by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. Here he introduces his main theme: that throughout its history Rhodesia has been governed by minority elites. The Portuguese were succeeded by the enigmatic Rozwi theocrats, and they in turn by the conquering Matabele who fled from Shaka's wrath in Zululand. It was during the Matabele ascendency that British missionaries first established themselves in the country, and the extraordinary story is told for the first time of the way in which internal dissension came close to wrecking their mission. The second part of the book describes Cecil Rhodes' occupation of the country and the events leading up to the referendum. [KEY WORDS: Africa Rhodesia history colonial history anthropology] EUR 27,50

300508 SAMIR AMIN Neo-colonialism in West Africa Translated from the French by Francis McDonagh. First edition.. . 163 p. and index, figures 1973 Penguin SOFTCOVER: (Orig. paperb. Exlibris on end paper. VERY GOOD) VERY RARE ENGLISH FIRST EDITION. While the economic and historical literature on the English-speaking countries of West Africa is comparatively rich, little comparable study and analysis have been accomplished for the French-speaking portion. This study does not deal with the whole geographical region, but only with the nine French-speaking states, Ghana and the Gambia. What the author presents here is essentially the political economy of what was formerly French West Africa. The first part of the book analyzes the historical stages of outward-directed colonial development, going back as far as is necessary for each country to understand the present structure of its economy. The second part discusses the impasses into which this outward-directed development has led West Africa : the permanent crisis of public finances and the foreign dependence which resulted from this, the fragmentation of the area, and the directing of economic growth outward with a resulting impoverishment and underdevelopment of the inner economy. The various attempts at solutions to these problems, liberal and conservative alike, have not changed the situation, and Samir Amin attempts to understand and explain why these attempts to achieve economic independence have not succeeded. At the end of his economic analysis, he reaches the « unambiguous conclusion » that « the fragmentation of economic area which West Africa has undergone constitutes an irresistible pressure for the maintenance of colonial structures and policies and colonial « development », and that these in turn no less irresistibly produce foreign domination and underdevelopment ».

("A leader," writes Colonel Ellelloû, "is one who, out of madness or goodness, takes upon himself the woe of a people. There are few men so foolish.") Colonel Ellelloû has four wives, a silver Mercedes, and a fanatic aversion--cultural, ideological, and personal--to the United States. But the U.S. keeps creeping into Kush, and the repercussions of this incursion constitute the events of the novel. Colonel Ellelloû tells his own story--always elegantly, and often in the third person--from an undisclosed location in the South of France.
