Download or read book Free the Land written by Edward Onaci and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 31, 1968, over 500 Black nationalists convened in Detroit to begin the process of securing independence from the United States. Many concluded that Black Americans' best remaining hope for liberation was the creation of a sovereign nation-state, the Republic of New Afrika (RNA). New Afrikan citizens traced boundaries that encompassed a large portion of the South--including South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana--as part of their demand for reparation. As champions of these goals, they framed their struggle as one that would allow the descendants of enslaved people to choose freely whether they should be citizens of the United States. New Afrikans also argued for financial restitution for the enslavement and subsequent inhumane treatment of Black Americans. The struggle to "Free the Land" remains active to this day. This book is the first to tell the full history of the RNA and the New Afrikan Independence Movement. Edward Onaci shows how New Afrikans remade their lifestyles and daily activities to create a self-consciously revolutionary culture, and argues that the RNA's tactics and ideology were essential to the evolution of Black political struggles. Onaci expands the story of Black Power politics, shedding new light on the long-term legacies of mid-century Black Nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tell-all memoir reveals the details behind Sunday Times journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika's exposure of the R1.7 billion lease scandal between police commissioner Bheki Cele and property tycoon Roux Shabangu, for which he was infamously arrested in 2010. It is also the riveting account of how a neglected boy in an unknown village became one of South Africa's most awarded investigative reporters and found himself at the receiving end of the corruption that had defeated those he helped put in power. Fearless in the face of corrupt authorities with sinister political motives, and fervent about justice, Wa Afrika's life was characterised by resistance to oppression and inequality from an early age. Destined to defend and uphold the principles of democracy, his story is the inspiring tale of an ordinary man, armed with a pen, who challenged the proverbial giant.

Download or read book Worlds of Human Rights written by Bill Derman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages with contemporary African human rights struggles including land, property, gender equality and legal identity. Through ethnographic field studies it situates claims-making by groups and individuals that have been subject to injustices and abuses, often due to different forms of displacement, in specific geographical, historical and political contexts. Exploring local communities’ complexities and divided interests it addresses the ambiguities and tensions surrounding the processes whereby human rights have been incorporated into legislation, social and economic programs, legal advocacy, land reform, and humanitarian assistance. It shows how existing relations of inequality, domination and control are affected by the opportunities offered by emerging law and governance structures as a plurality of non-state actors enter what previously was considered the sole regulatory domain of the nation state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Guy Saville, the explosive new thriller of a world that so nearly existed Africa, 1952. More than a decade has passed since Britain's humiliation at Dunkirk brought an end to the war and the beginning of an uneasy peace with Hitler. The swastika flies from the Sahara to the Indian Ocean. Britain and a victorious Nazi Germany have divided the continent. The SS has crushed the native populations and forced them into labor. Gleaming autobahns bisect the jungle, jet fighters patrol the skies. For almost a decade an uneasy peace has ensued. Now, however, the plans of Walter Hochburg, messianic racist and architect of Nazi Africa, threaten Britain's ailing colonies. Sent to curb his ambitions is Burton Cole: a one-time assassin torn between the woman he loves and settling an old score with Hochburg. If he fails unimaginable horrors will be unleashed on the continent. No one – black or white – will be spared. But when his mission turns to disaster, Burton must flee for his life. It is a flight that will take him from the unholy ground of Kongo to SS slave camps to war-torn Angola – and finally a conspiracy that leads to the dark heart of The Afrika Reich itself.

Download or read book Leading Afrika written by Mandivamba Rukuni and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afrika is currently on a path of development that is not sustainable, because we confuse modernisation with Westernisation. This Afrikan-Western paradox prevents us from building a modern, dynamic Afrikan society - and it will take highly visionary and transformational leadership on our part as Afrikans to reinvent ourselves and build a truly modern Afrikan society. What would the world be like if its institutions were based on the values and practices of a traditional African village? In Leading Afrika, Mandivamba Rukuni re-evaluates the concepts underlying traditional African leadership principles and systems, and illustrates how these can form a modern basis for the African Renaissance. By arguing for the inclusive and traditional values expressed in the philosophy and practices of Unhu-Ubuntu-Botho, the author reminds the reader of historic successes in Africa, and illustrates how leaders globally at all levels can draw on traditional African values the better to lead their nations' people, whether at home, in the community, in business or in government.

Download or read book Freedom Afrika written by Cosmo Starlight and published by Church Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noodle Church escapes solitary confinement in Freedom Incorporated to live with people who stand against bombs, bullets, powders, and policemen. Journeying over three continents bringing only a pack which rarely comes off his back wearing canvas pants he’d become accustomed to sleeping in to reach Freedom Afrika, people procure Noodle a home so he doesn't have to live on the street for Christmas. Africans feed Noodle, lend him jackets to wear when it’s cold, and provide security ensured by honest, trustworthy relationships. Noodle suspects wardens tracked his escape and discovers wildland unfolding along a thousand kilometers of rugged coastline to document a system that keeps people working with cameras and clandestine surveillance, Freedom Inc. But where threats are feral bulls soaking in coastal sun, Noodle thought he'd found freedom; that is, until International Intelligence Service agents aid recollection of love lost after being imprisoned without charges, a trial, or record of detainment. Stuck in a place so remote footpaths replaced roads, provocateurs gain Noodle’s trust only to compromise his strength for men riding dirt-bikes to push the boy born with blue skin beyond the boundaries of Freedom’s law. Agents didn't break Noodle. He doesn’t get caught killing anyone. Instead Noodle flees Camp without clean water then sleeps shelter-less on African wildland only to return to the Town where he'd awoken that Christmas morning on the floor of a snack shop. Agents tracked him there too yet, after fighting a twenty-yearlong war, Africans excelled at security. People who'd witnessed brothers being shot, poisoned, and burned alive proclaimed, “Noodle it doesn't matter if men wearing white suits come with masks attached to breathing apparatuses then allege you have a rare disease nobody’s ever heard of. Even if they say it’s a matter of national security we’ll never let those wardens take you again. Here people fight to defend independence.” The Africans were poor but they rejected bombs, bullets, powders, and policemen. Freedom Afrika taught Noodle that people need food, water, shelter, and love in order to survive. Love is all he needed!
