Download or read book Arise Africa Roar China written by Yunxiang Gao and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War—journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics. Gao reveals earlier and more widespread interactions between Chinese and African American leftists than accounts of the familiar alliance between the Black radicals and the Maoist Chinese would have us believe. The book's multilingual approach draws from massive yet rarely used archival streams in China and in Chinatowns and elsewhere in the United States. These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies.

This book brims with provocative insights that provide a unique and ground-breaking entry into the wealth of untold tales and unexplored mysteries of the African land. It unveils the treasure and beauty of the African land and sends a clarion call and consciousness to all Africans to treasure and cherish it. Mother Africa is uniquely endowed by nature and beautified with the natural landscape scenery, heritage and diversity yet it is on the verge of losing the mark of its identity. Therefore, this treatise is a wake-up call for all Africans to awaken from a deep slumber and revive the pride of Africanism and embrace the core values of love, solidarity, and human dignity. Moreover, the poems hails, commend and celebrate the female heroes of the African heritage (Imbokodo), for their demonstration of resilience in the face of adversity, and siege and rising against the unjust and gruesome societal tides that has boxed them under the shadows of men.This publication is jam-packed with poetic insights that will take you through a journey out of the convictions and ordinary perceptions of Africanism to plunge into the greater depths of understanding the essence of African identity.

In incredible poetic language, the author tells the extraordinary story of how Africa overcame ferocious obstacles of war, hunger, and genocides to emerge as one of the greatest on the face of the earth. To stay relevant to current poetic trends, his writing style is delivered in an idiosyncratic and eccentric style, a very modern mix of meme-culture, quirky slang and unapologetic youth coolness. For this reason, the author is a revolutionary new voice in African poetry, emerging with authority, to claim his space and audience.The wealth and riches with which Africa is endowed in terms of the abundance of natural resources such as gold, silver and diamonds and the diversity of cultures makes Africa such a thrilling society with a unique identity. For this reason, the author describes Africa as the land of dreamers, adventurers, and explorers. In this vast and vivid panorama of historical wealth, the author discusses the fortunes of Africa which are naturally available to the African people. With compelling narrative, he expounds on how Africa can transform the jangling discords of the continent into a beautiful symphony of unity and oasis of freedom.

Download or read book Africa s Cities written by Somik Vinay Lall and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing rapid population growth. Yet their economic growth has not kept pace. Why? One factor might be low capital investment, due in part to Africa’s relative poverty: Other regions have reached similar stages of urbanization at higher per capita GDP. This study, however, identifies a deeper reason: African cities are closed to the world. Compared with other developing cities, cities in Africa produce few goods and services for trade on regional and international markets To grow economically as they are growing in size, Africa’s cities must open their doors to the world. They need to specialize in manufacturing, along with other regionally and globally tradable goods and services. And to attract global investment in tradables production, cities must develop scale economies, which are associated with successful urban economic development in other regions. Such scale economies can arise in Africa, and they will—if city and country leaders make concerted efforts to bring agglomeration effects to urban areas. Today, potential urban investors and entrepreneurs look at Africa and see crowded, disconnected, and costly cities. Such cities inspire low expectations for the scale of urban production and for returns on invested capital. How can these cities become economically dense—not merely crowded? How can they acquire efficient connections? And how can they draw firms and skilled workers with a more affordable, livable urban environment? From a policy standpoint, the answer must be to address the structural problems affecting African cities. Foremost among these problems are institutional and regulatory constraints that misallocate land and labor, fragment physical development, and limit productivity. As long as African cities lack functioning land markets and regulations and early, coordinated infrastructure investments, they will remain local cities: closed to regional and global markets, trapped into producing only locally traded goods and services, and limited in their economic growth.

Download or read book The Will to Arise written by Caleb Oluremi Oladipo and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important developments of Christianity in the twentieth century was its transformation in South Africa, where it became a vibrant religion rooted in African idioms and cultures. The church also became engaged in the struggle against social and political injustice, and church leaders employed the vocabularies of faith to secure civil liberty. This hard-hitting book focuses on post-apartheid Christian character and establishes the theological and spiritual authority of African Christians, calling contemporary Christians to renew their faith and Christian identity. It shows, too, that one cannot seriously consider contemporary Christianity apart from the African experience.
