Описание: In Rage and Carnage in the Name of God, Abiodun Alao examines the emergence of a culture of religious violence in postindependence Nigeria, where Christianity, Islam, and traditional religions have all been associated with violence. He investigates the root causes and historical evolution of Nigeria’s religious violence, locating it in the forced coming together of disparate ethnic groups under colonial rule, which planted the seeds of discord that religion, elites, and domestic politics exploit. Alao discusses the histories of Christianity, Islam, and traditional religions in the territory that became Nigeria, the effects of colonization on the role of religion, the development of Islamic radicalization and its relation to Christian violence, the activities of Boko Haram, and how religious violence intermixes with politics and governance. In so doing, he uses religious violence as a way to more fully understand intergroup relations in contemporary Nigeria.

Описание: Nigeria and the United States: Twists and Turns through Five Decades provides a detailed and in-depth assessment of the relationship between the world's sole superpower and Africa's most populous nation. The book chronicles the early contacts between the two countries and then assesses how that relationship has evolved, enlisting the services of some of Nigeria's most notable international relations experts and scholars in the Humanities who provide chapter contributions. The result has been a highly engaging documentation of this critical bilateral relationship. The objectives of the volume are three-fold: - To document all the ramifications of America-Nigeria relations over five decades bringing out the ups and downs of the relationship and their consequences. -To assess the impact of the "past" on the "present" and the future of Nigeria-America relations. This is particularly important because a complex tapestry of dreams and desires seem to govern the political, economic and security relations between the two countries. - To provide a detailed study that can assist the process of policy formations in both Nigeria and the United States The methodology adopted is to identify all the key aspects of the relationship between the two countries and provide a detailed analysis of the key issues that have underlined the social, economic, political, diplomatic and military relations between the two countries. Although the focus is mainly on Nigeria and the United States, the text also touches on situations in other countries that inevitably became intertwined with the American Nigeria relations, especially the situation in Southern Africa during the era of apartheid and minority rule and Liberia, during the country's bitter civil conflict.

Описание: This book is a genuine attempt to set the record straight concerning tithe and giving in the Church. There are divergent teachings, shades of opinion, and practices regarding tithe and giving in the Church. While some believe a Christian must give a tenth of his income to God regularly in order to secure His favor and escape His curse, others believe this is not necessary since Christ died to make us inherit the blessing of Abraham and deliver us from the Curse of the Law. What then is the true position of the Bible regarding this subject? Should a Christian tithe? Is tithing a necessity for accessing God's blessing? Where is the place of the finished work of Christ? Is the redeemed subject to the Curse of the Law? Why were the Apostles of Christ silent about tithing? Do we need to make pledges and vows in order to obtain God's favor and blessing? What about the firstfruit, do we need to pay to secure God's blessing? Are there principles guiding giving in the New Testament? You will find answers to all these and other related questions in this book. The book was written in an easy-to-read version. Scriptural passages were cited copiously in order to allow the Bible to speak for itself. Important historical records were also cited to unravel the origin of tithing in the Church. To whom was this book written? -Everyone who is interested in knowing the truth -Those who want to know the position of the Bible on the subject -Those who accept the Word of God as the final authority in life and doctrine -All who prefer the Word of God to the traditions of men. I encourage the reader to make all effort to read the book from the beginning to the end because every chapter is a very important part of the whole. This is the only way to get the complete message. Happy reading

Civil War in many areas of Southern Africa has caused human disaster on a huge scale. While Zimbabwe alone has largely escaped this, Mozambique has been reduced to the status of the poorest, most aid-dependent state in Africa and UNITA's war in Angola continues. Abiodun Alao's account of the deep-rooted ethnic and ideological divisions in all three territories explores the ways in which this state of almost permanent instability and conflict emerged during and after the struggle for independence, and the extent to which existing tensions within the region were internationalized and exacerbated during the Cold War. While the most significant element in the conflict was the dominant role of the South African state in its pursuit of proxy wars to advance its own regional interests, Alao argues that South Africa did not on its own create the dissident movements or the conditions of conflict. Pretoria had only to fine-tune some of the existing movements to suit its own purposes. Based on much original research, this book adds a new perspective to our understanding of the formation of the main rebel movements, of their support bases and their transformation into political parties, as well as providing an important account of their relationship with the South African state.

Описание: Walter the Younger is completely insecure, overweight, somewhat myopic, awkward, introspective, and intellectually troubled; an evolving amorphous blob, a forever nerd, unconditionally loved by delusional parents, simply trying to survive adolescence and move on. His story is told in small slices, describing events both real and not so real, but real enough to be overthought and overanalyzed by Walter`s overactive psyche. Leaps into the future and past detail, quixotic adventures at college, on the golf course with his dad, at home with his not quite "All-American" family, and becoming a champion junior bowler. Walter is often thrust into the limelight in spite of trying to hide in the shadows. Just small scraps of time, these Walter slices are frequently interrupted by non-sequiturs, social diatribes, rants, discussion of scientific and otherworldly topics, glimpses into the multiverse, and other contrivances; simply digressions from a baseball story about Little League, and the craziness that ensued following the first time Walter took a swing at an incoming baseball. The Walter Integral, comprised of these slices and digressions, paints a not quite complete picture of a "not quite complete" Walter.

The L2 speaker is able to function in the target culture only when s/he is able to understand, anticipate and produce the choices that the said society makes. Being polite therefore means: knowing how to draw on the conventions of a society, taking into account the expectations of an interlocutor regarding social relations at any given point, and is based on the appropriate language register to the communication situation; being able to balance standard and non-standard features and to adjust one's speech by moving it towards more or less familiarity, or formality. The learner therefore needs to be aware of the pragmatic flexibility of speakers - native and experts - who move from one register to another and juggle between respect and caution, first degree meaning and irony, exuberance and excess, with difference in levels, nature and degrees of politeness.
This volume contains contributions whose theoretical reflections, field work experiences and authentic data from diverse African, Asian and European languages, literatures and cultures as well as a variety of corpora shed new light on politeness as a central phenomenon in pragmatics, and on what is at stake when teaching or learning the subject. It also opens up a conceptual dialogue with a whole range of domains likely to enrich the debate: sociolinguistics, literature, translation studies, semiotics, cultural anthropology, social psychology, etc.

Описание: Suite au Precis du Plurilinguisme et du Pluriculturalisme (2008), et en continuite avec l'ouvrage Didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle : l'acteur en contexte mondialise (2012), le debat didactique se poursuit et continue de deconstruire et de revisiter les categories habituelles de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage des langues et des cultures. De nouvelles notions emergent et des trames se tissent. Cet ouvrage centre son attention sur les dispositifs en contexte mondialise : il met en relation une variete de langues et d'approches en s'appuyant sur des contextes educatifs et sociaux participant au processus de mondialisation multiforme. Il s'agit d'identifier des interstices et des interfaces entre les acteurs, les institutions educatives, les lieux, les langues et les dispositifs d'enseignement et d'apprentissage en presence. C'est ici que se jouent les changements et les frictions de la mondialisation, entre paradigme monolingue et paradigme plurilingue. Ces points de contacts permanents, structurants ou bien a l'oppose discontinus et ephemeres, permettent de percevoir comment se construit une didactique plurilingue et pluriculturelle posant d'emblee comme principe epistemologique et heuristique, la diversite, le multiple et le pluridimensionnel. C'est ce que proposent les contributions de cet ouvrage.
