Download or read book The Collection and Codification of the Quran written by Alan Paton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Muslim tradition and modern scholarship concerning how the Quran came into existence as written pages between two covers. How this happened and how the text was agreed is not always clear and there are different explanations. Muslim tradition is a huge field, and it is a formidable challenge to draw out and understand what it has to say about the collection and codification of the Quran, a subject of great importance. The information is sometimes inconsistent or contradictory involving different caliphs and scholars.Arabian society at the time of the Prophet depended on oral transmission, the word "Quran" means recitation, and Arabic writing was at an early stage of development with fewer symbols, and written words might be read in different ways. Variant readings of the Quran became a concern.The book also explains what we can learn about the early history of the Quran from extant early manuscripts such as the great find at Sanaa in the Yemen and the Birmingham Quran, and the use of radiocarbon dating. The book is for well informed and interested citizens and students who want to have some depth on key topics, while avoiding the need for extensive prior knowledge. It provides an excellent introduction to scholarly work.

Download or read book Lost City of the Kalahari written by Alan Paton and published by University of Kwazulu Natal Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1956, seven amateur adventurers set off from Natal (South Africa) in a decrepit five-ton truck named "Kalahari Polka," on "the craziest expedition ever to enter the unknown." The goal was to make archaeological history by locating a mythical Lost City in a remote range of mountains deep in the Kalahari Desert. Included in the party was Alan Paton, acclaimed author of Cry, the Beloved Country, chairman of the newly-formed South African Liberal Party, and a leading political voice of his time. Lost City of the Kalahari is Paton's hitherto unpublished account of the odd adventure. Recounted with dry, self-deprecating wit and supplemented by hand-drawn maps, provisions lists, photographs, 8mm film stills, and other fascinating memorabilia from the period, this entertaining travelogue brings to life the quirky cast of characters, rough discomforts of the journey, tedium of unvarying landscape, vast desert vistas, and encounters with wild Bushmen and other Kalahari people. And through it all, emerges Paton's own deep love for the austere landscape that "one can never have too much of because it is like breathing."

Download or read book The Last Afrikaner Leaders written by Hermann Giliomee and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the Alan Paton Award In his latest book, renowned historian Hermann Giliomee challenges the conventional wisdom on the downfall of white rule and the end of apartheid. Instead of impersonal forces, or the resourcefulness of an indomitable resistance movement, he emphasizes the role of Nationalist leaders and of their outspoken critic Frederick van Zyl Slabbert. What motivated each of the last Afrikaner leaders, from Verwoerd to de Klerk? How did each try to reconcile economic growth, white privilege, and security with the demands of an increasingly assertive black leadership and unexpected population figures? In exploring each leader’s background, reasoning, and personal foibles, Giliomee takes issue with the assumption that South Africa was inexorably heading for an ANC victory in 1994. He argues that historical accidents radically affected the course of politics. Drawing on primary sources and personal interviews, Giliomee offers a fresh and stimulating political history that attempts not to condemn but to understand why the last Afrikaner leaders did what they did, and why their own policies ultimately failed them.

Download or read book Safari Nation written by Jacob S. T. Dlamini and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safari Nation opens new lines of inquiry in the study of national parks in Africa and the rest of the world. The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s most iconic nature reserve, renowned for its rich flora and fauna. According to author Jacob Dlamini, there is another side to the park, a social history neglected by scholars and popular writers alike in which blacks (meaning Africans, Coloureds, and Indians) occupy center stage. Safari Nation details the ways in which black people devoted energies to conservation and to the park over the course of the twentieth century—engagement that transcends the stock (black) figure of the laborer and the poacher. By exploring the complex and dynamic ways in which blacks of varying class, racial, religious, and social backgrounds related to the Kruger National Park, and with the help of previously unseen archival photographs, Dlamini’s narrative also sheds new light on how and why Africa’s national parks—often derided by scholars as colonial impositions—survived the end of white rule on the continent. Relying on oral histories, photographs, and archival research, Safari Nation engages both with African historiography and with ongoing debates about the “land question,” democracy, and citizenship in South Africa.
