Download or read book Hollywood and Africa written by Dokotum, Okaka Opio and published by NISC (Pty) Ltd. This book was released on 2020-02-16 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood and Africa - recycling the ‘Dark Continent’ myth from 1908–2020 is a study of over a century of stereotypical Hollywood film productions about Africa. It argues that the myth of the Dark Continent continues to influence Western cultural productions about Africa as a cognitive-based system of knowledge, especially in history, literature and film. Hollywood and Africa identifies the ‘colonial mastertext’ of the Dark Continent mythos by providing a historiographic genealogy and context for the term’s development and consolidation. An array of literary and paraliterary film adaptation theories are employed to analyse the deep genetic strands of Hollywood–Africa film adaptations. The mutations of the Dark Continent mythos across time and space are then tracked through the classical, neoclassical and new wave Hollywood–Africa phases in order to illustrate how Hollywood productions about Africa recycle, revise, reframe, reinforce, transpose, interrogate — and even critique — these tropes of Darkest Africa while sustaining the colonial mastertext and rising cyberactivism against Hollywood’s whitewashing of African history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angela Kirin calls Australia home, but has lived in many places through her life—England, Scotland, China, Central America, and throughout Australia. She developed a passion for writing for young adults during 2005 while teaching English to primary school children in a tiny Chinese town called ‘Liyang’. ‘The inspiration for Doctor Elbows, the superhero, came from the constant attention and adulation I received from the Chinese children,’ Angela says. ‘At times it was overwhelming that these children looked upon me as a hero for leaving my country to teach them.’ While living and working with people of different cultures, interests, and beliefs, Angela always nurtured a fascination for reading and creating stories. This multicultural harmony is one of the prime themes throughout this, her first book in her superhero series . . . along with a good measure of action, danger, and fun. Angela hopes to fill this series with comical and sometimes thought-provoking messages for the reader who imagines and seeks.

Book excerpt: Raised by her aunt and uncle at the rectory in the small English village of Grimston Way, lovely Evy Varley remembers little of her missionary parents and nothing of South Africa, the land where she was orphaned during the Zulu War of 1878. But when Sir Rogan Chantry, the arrogant and handsome son of the local Squire, accuses Evy’s mother of stealing the infamous Kimberly Black Diamond, Evy sets out to prove the rogue wrong and clear her mother’s name. Secrets abound, however, from the diamond mines of South Africa to the halls of her own beloved rectory. Strangers come to Grimston Way for their own mysterious purposes, a stunned Evy finds that her own aunt and uncle may have concealed disturbing truths about her family, and the dashing Sir Rogan has his own reasons to seek the missing diamond. Yet despite Rogan’s seemingly rakish ways and the class differences that render a romance between them impossible, Evy finds herself drawn to the man who was once her childhood friend and now holds the keys to her heart. Faced with a dangerous past and an uncertain future, Evy must draw upon her wits and her faith to pursue Tomorrow’s Treasure. A story of faith, danger and romance, Tomorrow’s Treasure is a masterpiece of historical suspense fiction. From the Trade Paperback edition.
