Green-Simms Название: Postcolonial Automobility: Car Culture in West Africa ISBN: 1517901138 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517901134 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 93630.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: For more than a century cars have symbolized autonomous, unfettered mobility and an increasingly global experience. And yet, they are often used differently outside the centers of global capitalism. This pioneering book considers how, through the lens of the automobile, we can assess the pleasures, dangers, and limits of global modernity in West Africa. Through new and provocative readings of famous plays, novels, and films, as well as recent popular videos, Postcolonial Automobility reveals the surprising ways in which automobility in the region is, at once, an everyday practice, an ethos, a fantasy of autonomy, and an affective activity intimately tied to modern social life. Lindsey B. Green-Simms begins with the history of motorization in West Africa from the colonial era to the decolonizing decades after World War II, and addresses the tragedy of car accidents through a close reading of Wole Soyinka’s 1965 postindependence play The Road. Shifting to screen media, she discusses Ousmane Sembene’s Xala and Jean-Pierre Bekolo’s Quartier Mozart and reviews popular, low-budget Nollywood films. Finally, Green-Simms considers how feminist texts rewrite and work in dialogue with the male-centered films and novels where the car stands in for patriarchal power and capitalist achievement.Providing a unique perspective on technology in Africa-one refusing to be confined to narratives of either underdevelopment or inevitable progress-and covering a broad range of interdisciplinary material, Postcolonial Automobility will appeal not only to scholars and students of African literature and cinema but also to those in postcolonial and globalization studies.

Описание: Edited by Victor Ojakorotu and Olawale Olaopa, two of the leading minds in African development issues, this volume showcases and shares knowledge of numerous areas where women have contributed to the socio-economic, cultural, religious and political development of their respective African societies. The articles featured in this engaging study will stimulate academic debates on perspectives and factors addressing women's empowerment and disempowerment. They also seek to demystify those impediments to women’s pathways to total liberation in the context of sustainable development everywhere in the African continent.Bringing together some of the best minds in development, this book, therefore, presents historical, theoretical, conceptual, and pragmatic contributions from the disciplines of political science, international relations, conflict studies, sociology, health sciences, development studies, public policy, management studies, economic history and public administration. It is therefore relevant for students and scholars in these disciplines and beyond. The volume examines different ways of analysing social and gender relations, and interrogates the relationship between academic and policy work in this field. It further investigates current thinking and concerns relating to the practice of social development and to the promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment, describing tools and frameworks to inform policy making and practice.

The project will interest development studies and African politics scholars, graduate students, researchers and policy makers.

Engendering Cosmopolitanism Through the Local presents a critique of multicultural education, which tends to focus on multiculturalism at the expense of a truly international curriculum. While lessons in multiculturalism are oftentimes well intentioned, this book begins with the premise that we do a disservice by imparting lessons in international culture and history through multiculturalism, which can perpetuate insularity even as it claims to promote global coverage. The book offers background on World Literature, a term used for one hundred years to refer to a global literary tradition; reviews the numerous challenges of reading cross culturally; and provides an overview of cosmopolitanism, a two-thousand-year-old concept referring to our ability to appreciate cultures and nations different from our own. The book also shares the stories of three teachers who engaged their students with international literature by connecting texts topically or thematically with the students’ lived experiences. The book closes with suggested curriculum on modern Chinese literature. Engendering Cosmopolitanism Through the Local provides important and practical background information invaluable to courses on literacy, children’s literature, multicultural education, and global studies.
