This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teenage American boy was dropped in one African village. In an extended stay-in there, He got the facts and fiction on spirit creatures and witchcraft in Africa; chilling incidents and accounts! An African village environment and nature are aspects he found would surely confound any American or city bred teenager. He found himself on the watch-out; amazed, baffled, scared....He saw some things and heard of others in the African village environment unknown to science. He experienced firsthand the traditional extended family culture of Africa, African village environment today, traditional food, and hunting and fishing, traditional prosecution and attendant drama, native justice..., He listened to stories of long past European atrocities and plundering in Africa. From a septuagenarian story-teller, he heard accounts of why Africa is rife in crisis or volatile today. Who dropped and left him in Africa? Andre was stubborn and troublesome both at home and at school. His high school teachers' reports on him were getting worse. What would the parents do to prevent him from becoming a gangster and maybe save his life? His white father and a mum of African root decided to send him to his mum's root village in the River Niger Delta in Africa - to be tamed; many teenagers are sent like that to African villages from the cities and western world for the same reason. Here is an adventure-like experience of one. The book is an engrossing narrative of what he saw, heard, witnessed and experienced in the African village; an exciting adventure narrative. He was tamed. What tamed him before he returned to the U.S.? It is an engrossing narrative that will keep you turning pages to the very end. It is a picture of what a city bred or any one from the western world may see on ground in an African village today.

Download or read book Africana written by Anthony Appiah and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 3951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ninety years after W.E.B. Du Bois first articulated the need for "the equivalent of a black Encyclopedia Britannica," Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates Jr., realized his vision by publishing Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience in 1999. This new, greatly expanded edition of the original work broadens the foundation provided by Africana. Including more than one million new words, Africana has been completely updated and revised. New entries on African kingdoms have been added, bibliographies now accompany most articles, and the encyclopedia's coverage of the African diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean has been expanded, transforming the set into the most authoritative research and scholarly reference set on the African experience ever created. More than 4,000 articles cover prominent individuals, events, trends, places, political movements, art forms, business and trade, religion, ethnic groups, organizations and countries on both sides of the Atlantic. African American history and culture in the present-day United States receive a strong emphasis, but African American history and culture throughout the rest of the Americas and their origins in African itself have an equally strong presence. The articles that make up Africana cover subjects ranging from affirmative action to zydeco and span over four million years from the earlies-known hominids, to Sean "Diddy" Combs. With entries ranging from the African ethnic groups to members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Africana, Second Edition, conveys the history and scope of cultural expression of people of African descent with unprecedented depth.
Download or read book Resilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice written by Roberta Greene and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As people around the globe experience more civil unrest and environmental disruption, the difficulties social workers face in their practice are becoming increasingly complex. This textbook deepens and expands the resilience-enhancing stress model (RESM) skill set and techniques so that social workers can more effectively serve clients and constituencies who are trying to overcome the stress of difficult life transitions and challenging environmental demands. It is designed as a companion piece to A Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: A Social Work Multisystemic Practice Approach (Springer, 2022). The intent of the RESM is to further expand social workers' practice skill sets with additional concepts from the anti-oppressive practice (AOP) and coaching literature that aligns with the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The book's 12 chapters are organized around life transitions and illustrate skills, techniques, and interviews important to the enhancement of resilience. Among the topics covered: The Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: Articulating Anti-Oppressive Practice Exploring the Role of Cultural Diversity in Resilient Social Functioning: Theory and Skills Countering Human Rights Violations During Life Transitions Facilitating Community Development Following Disruption Resilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice: Anti-Oppressive Social Work Skills and Techniques uniquely offers practitioners a knowledge base to exponentiate their efficacy in identifying and fortifying resilience in a time in history when it appears to be imperative. It is written for a student social work audience at the generalist or advanced generalist level for practice across a range of populations and settings. It contains traditional and contemporary human behavior content that supports a social work narrative methodology and a life course perspective. It could be taught with its predecessor across one or two semesters. Practitioners in the field who are new to this content could also find the text a valuable resource.
