African Freedom: How Africa Responded to Independence / Phyllis Taoua

Public ISBD Titre : African Freedom: How Africa Responded to Independence Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Phyllis Taoua, Auteur Editeur : UK : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 330 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coll. Format : 5.9 x 0.6 x 9 inches ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-44616-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 306 Culture et normes de comportement : anthropologie sociale et culturelle. Folklore, voir 390 Résumé : The push for independence in African nations was ultimately an incomplete process, with the people often left to wrestle with a partial, imperfect legacy. Rather than settle for liberation in name alone, the people engaged in an ongoing struggle for meaningful freedom. Phyllis Taoua shows how the idea of freedom in Africa today evolved from this complex history. With a pan-African, interdisciplinary approach, she synthesizes the most significant issues into a clear, compelling narrative. Tracing the evolution of a conversation about freedom since the 1960s, she defines three types and shows how they are interdependent. Taoua investigates their importance in key areas of narrative interest: the intimate self, gender identity, the nation, global capital, and the spiritual realm. Allowing us to hear the voices of African artists and activists, this compelling study makes sense of their struggle and the broad importance of the idea of freedom in contemporary African culture.

Andrew Radford debunks the myth that colloquial English has a substandard, simplified grammar, and shows that it has a coherent and complex structure of its own. The book develops a theoretically sophisticated account of structure and variation in colloquial English, advancing an area that has been previously investigated from other perspectives, such as corpus linguistics or conversational analysis, but never before in such detail from a formal syntactic viewpoint.

Moreover, each confronts differently the chaos that ensues when these radically redescriptive techniques enter into the world they strive to characterise. A masterpiece.'

A History of American Civil War Literature / Coleman Hutchison

Indice de base : 81. Table des périodes ( Etats-Unis) Résumé : This book is the first omnibus history of the literature of the American Civil War, the deadliest conflict in US history. A History of American Civil War Literature examines the way in which the war has been remembered and rewritten over time in prose, poems, and other narratives. This history incorporates new directions in Civil War historiography and cultural studies while giving equal attention to writings from both northern and southern states. It redresses the traditional neglect of southern literary cultures by moving between the North and the South, thus finding a balance between Union and Confederate texts. Written by leading scholars in the field, this book works to redefine the boundaries of American Civil War literature while posing a fundamental question: why does this 150-year-old conflict continue to capture the American imagination?
