Download or read book African American Christianity written by Paul E. Johnson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-07-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight leading scholars have joined forces to give us the most comprehensive book to date on the history of African-American religion from the slavery period to the present. Beginning with Albert Raboteau's essay on the importance of the story of Exodus among African-American Christians and concluding with Clayborne Carson's work on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s religious development, this volume illuminates the fusion of African and Christian traditions that has so uniquely contributed to American religious development. Several common themes emerge: the critical importance of African roots, the traumatic discontinuities of slavery, the struggle for freedom within slavery and the subsequent experience of discrimination, and the remarkable creativity of African-American religious faith and practice. Together, these essays enrich our understanding of both African-American life and its part in the history of religion in America.

Download or read book Close to the Sources written by Abebe Zegeye and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European and African works have found it difficult to move past the image of Africa as a place of exotica and relentless brutality. This book explores the status and critical relationship between politics, culture, literary creativity, criticism, education and publishing in the context of promoting Africa’s indigenous knowledge, and seeks to recover some of the sites where Africans continue to elaborate conflicting politics of self-affirmations. It both acknowledges and steps outside the protocols of analysis informed by nationalism, differentiating the forms that postcolonial theories have taken, and arguing for a selective appropriation of theory that emerges from Africa’s lived experiences.
Download or read book Africa written by K. Nyamayaro Mufuka and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is powerful, provocative, and profound. It forces the reader to pay attention to its contents. Voice of Truths Publishing Company wishes to challenge the Eurocentric view of World History with well-documented essays. Dr. Mufuka, in these well-thought out essays has done just that. He begins by showing the reader that West African slaves, who came to the United States, started rice and cotton plantations in the Carolinas and Virginia were descendants of the civilizations of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. They had a rich tradition in ironwork, textile manufacturing, wet "rice" agriculture, and knew a hundred usages for salt, both in medicine and culinary. This knowledge was indispensable for the success of the new colonies. It is in his treatment of the Zulu War, the Education and Development in Africa, that he excels. Compiling fact after fact, he mercilessly exposes the colonial intent to educate the African for service rather than for political participation in home rule. With equal vigor, he shows that modern development projects are usually at variances with African values or social order. the result has been unmitigated failure and persistent poverty. Dr. Mufuka is well qualified to interpret World History. He was educated at St. Andrews University in Scotland, England and Queens University in Canada.earning his Ph.D. ..He has won the Reuters International Award for best foreign correspondent for African newspapers twice. As such, he writes clearly and more concise than most academic scholars, and he knows how to keep his readers enthralled. This work is the result of twenty-five years of teaching and research. In 1991, I was in a mid-life crisis when I first listened to Dr. Mufuka's lectures. Immediately, I concluded that I must devote my life to challenging the Eurocentric views of World History and Culture by publishing well-documented materials from an Afrocentric perspective." - Robert L. Miller, Jr., Publisher - Voice of Truths Publishing Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together important articles from the Cambridge historian A. G.

The essays cover four of the principal historiographical developments of the period: the extraordinary revolution that has led to the writing of non-Western indigenous history; the revitalization of new types of imperial history; the now ubiquitous engagement with global history, including a reinterpretation of American Empire, and the current revival of economic history after several decades of neglect.
Download or read book Asante Kingdom of Gold written by T. C. McCaskie and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asante, Africa's celebrated "kingdom of gold," offers to the scholar and interested reader alike the most richly documented of all of Africa's historic societies. This history is embedded in and amplified by a vibrant oral tradition maintained by the Asante of today. The essays in this book, fifty in number, cover diverse aspects of the Asante experience from the creation of the kingdom in the later seventeenth century to the status of Asante in today's Ghana. In addition, these essays range over and discuss a variety of crucial aspects of Asante social and cultural life - kinship, witchcraft, community, selfhood, gender, death, warfare, and the rest. These essays span nearly half a century of the author's engagement with Asante and its people. The result is scholarship that is acknowledged to be at the cutting edge of the recuperation of Africa's long and still neglected past. More than that, however, this book offers much to the large international constituency of general readers who are fascinated by the story of the greatest and most enduring of African kingdoms, and to those among them who identify with Asante and its people, and draw sustenance and inspiration from their story. Glossy photo insert included.
Download or read book The Colonial Moment in Africa written by Andrew D. Roberts and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-10-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the first five, thematic, chapters from the Cambridge History of Africa, Volume 7. They deal with Africa south of the Sahara, during a period in which economic and cultural changes greatly enlarged the horizons of Africans, even though colonial rule seemed set to last for a very long time. The contributors break much new ground in exploring a variety of topics which transcend colonial frontiers: the impact of Africa on the thought of the colonial powers; impulses to economic growth, and new frameworks directing the movement of people, goods and money; the rapid expansion of world religions and their interaction with indigenous beliefs and colonial regimes; the circulation of ideas among Africans, and the growth of new social identities, as reflected in the press, literature, art and music. Each chapter is accompanied by a bibliography updated for this edition.
