Download or read book Exploits Of The Wizard Of Black Africa written by Uzoma Kenneth Anyikwa and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author believes super heroes are real and his remarkable thinking ability makes him one of them. He is the wizard of the African soil. He is not to be underrated. He solved lots of riddles using many ancient African terminologies. High five goes to science as the wizard of the African soil suddenly surrenders to its account about the origin of Man in cold shiver. Perhaps, Africans should not underrate science because it seems to know where it is heading, and at the same time, No one should underrate the scriptures because the wizard of the black Africa is full of wonders, but the bible calls him a little boy. Most riddles in the bible aren't what you think. "7" as it is used in the bible, talks about war arm coming from "above"(The executing force of heaven/Angels), this is why we have rev chapter 12 vs."7" (the part talking about the war in heaven) "7" heads of the dragon, "7" spirits of God etc. "12" as it is used in the bible symbolizes "chosen ones" that's why we have "12" disciples, "12" tribes of Israel, "12" sons of Jacob. "24" as it is used means all chosen ones both Christians and non Christians, that's why we have the "24" elders, "24" thrones: Religious discrimination made Us so blind and unable to understand that all positive religion on earth came from the same God (Lolz! relax, the wizard will explain what the "24 elders" stand for in details and with facts. You don't know, do you?) "6" stands for the "Open world" or "the human society" and Trinity "3" reveals the composition of God (three persons in one God) and the composition of the enemy of human. 6+3= "666" (Ouch!! The mark of the beast is never never never what you think. Hahahahahahaha!! Relax this Wizard of the black Africa will explain its meaning with FACTS) THE EAST as it us used in book of revelation stands for "Angle or zone of control" which means the bible is trying to reveal that the east is in war with the great foe of God and humanity..."No wonder the Christ was born in the "middle east" and no wonder most countries of the middle east fight a lot. The wizard himself is also from the east- that tribe in Nigeria that seeks freedom. They fought a war and were defeated (the wizard can also explain in facts why that war was lost, and why the war must be lost). The wizard even became "scared of himself". Why is it that every thing about him is connected with the Number "7" (even"12""east""3""6"). He was born at exactly " 12" O'clock in the "7th" month in the family of 7...born in the north but relocated to the east (zone of control which is at war) when he was "7"(war arms from above) the address mysteriously being "N0. 6"when it is the "3rd"(3) building in the street...etc. Some details about him and his exploits are put down in this book. He is real.

Morris Award Finalist "Brown has written a guidebook of survival and wonder."—The New York Times "Just brilliant."—Kirkus Reviews Heavily autobiographical and infused with magical realism, Black Girl Unlimited fearlessly explores the intersections of poverty, sexual violence, depression, racism, and sexism—all through the arc of a transcendent coming-of-age story for fans of Renee Watson's Piecing Me Together and Ibi Zoboi's American Street. Echo Brown is a wizard from the East Side, where apartments are small and parents suffer addictions to the white rocks. Yet there is magic . . . everywhere. New portals begin to open when Echo transfers to the rich school on the West Side, and an insightful teacher becomes a pivotal mentor. Each day, Echo travels between two worlds, leaving her brothers, her friends, and a piece of herself behind on the East Side. There are dangers to leaving behind the place that made you. Echo soon realizes there is pain flowing through everyone around her, and a black veil of depression threatens to undo everything she’s worked for. Christy Ottaviano Books

Download or read book The African American Encounter with Japan and China written by Marc Gallicchio and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book to focus on African American attitudes toward Japan and China, Marc Gallicchio examines the rise and fall of black internationalism in the first half of the twentieth century. This daring new approach to world politics failed in its effort to seek solidarity with the two Asian countries, but it succeeded in rallying black Americans in the struggle for civil rights. Black internationalism emphasized the role of race or color in world politics and linked the domestic struggle of African Americans with the freedom struggle of emerging nations "of color," such as India and much of Africa. In the early twentieth century, black internationalists, including W. E. B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey, embraced Japan as a potential champion of the darker races, despite Japan's imperialism in China. After Pearl Harbor, black internationalists reversed their position and identified Nationalist China as an ally in the war against racism. In the end, black internationalism was unsuccessful as an interpretation of international affairs. The failed quest for alliances with Japan and China, Gallicchio argues, foreshadowed the difficulty black Americans would encounter in seeking redress for American racism in the international arena.

Download or read book African American Political Thought written by Melvin L. Rogers and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American Political Thought offers an unprecedented philosophical history of thinkers from the African American community and African diaspora who have addressed the central issues of political life: democracy, race, violence, liberation, solidarity, and mass political action. Melvin L. Rogers and Jack Turner have brought together leading scholars to reflect on individual intellectuals from the past four centuries, developing their list with an expansive approach to political expression. The collected essays consider such figures as Martin Delany, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Audre Lorde, whose works are addressed by scholars such as Farah Jasmin Griffin, Robert Gooding-Williams, Michael Dawson, Nick Bromell, Neil Roberts, and Lawrie Balfour. While African American political thought is inextricable from the historical movement of American political thought, this volume stresses the individuality of Black thinkers, the transnational and diasporic consciousness, and how individual speakers and writers draw on various traditions simultaneously to broaden our conception of African American political ideas. This landmark volume gives us the opportunity to tap into the myriad and nuanced political theories central to Black life. In doing so, African American Political Thought: A Collected History transforms how we understand the past and future of political thinking in the West.

Download or read book Icons of African American Protest 2 volumes written by Gladys L. Knight and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protest has always been a catalyst for change. It is the cornerstone of America's own birth. Did not the first immigrants help America take its first steps upon the road to greatness when they long ago protested against the oppression of their native government and established new edicts promoting the ideals of freedom and opportunity? Since the first African slave was forced to board a ship bound for this continent, protest has been a major motif in the African American experience. It was a critical weapon during the raging violence against blacks following the end of Reconstruction, the Jim Crow years, and against the grisly conditions in the ghettoes in the North. Throughout history protest has been used to combat economic and political oppression, racism, discrimination, and exclusion from mainstream America. Icons of African American Protest reveals the extraordinary strength, courage, and sacrifice displayed by individuals for the cause of freedom and civil rights. The 24 leaders showcased here cover a broad spectrum of descriptors-vibrant, tame, intense, aggressive, and diffident-and their politics ran the gamut from conservative to ultra-radical. Nevertheless, whatever techniques, modes, or tactics employed-such as Thurgood Marshall's legal fights in the court room, Dr. King's reliance on nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action, and Huey P. Newton's advocacy for armed self-defense-they were all, in their time, radicals who strove to eradicate racism and the climate of exclusion. This two-volume reference provides both students and general readers in-depth coverage of contemporary voices of protest, supplemented by sidebars on major turning points, freedom songs, and important symbols, such as the clenched fist of the Black Power Movement. Also included are a timeline of key events, historical documents, a glossary, and a thorough bibliography of print and electronic resources to encourage further research.
Download or read book Apartheid and Racism in South African Children s Literature 1985 1995 written by Donnarae MacCann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While white racism has global dimensions, it has an unshakeable lease on life in South African political organizations and its educational system. Donnarae MacCann and Yulisa Maddy here provide a thorough and provocative analysis of South African children's literature during the key decade around Nelson Mandela's release from prison. Their research demonstrates that the literature of this period was derived from the same milieu -- intellectual, educational, religious, political, and economic -- that brought white supremacy to South Africa during colonial times. This volume is a signal contribution to the study of children's literature and its relation to racism and social conditions.
Download or read book The Entrepreneurial Spirit of African American Inventors written by Patricia Carter Sluby and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book not only documents the valuable contributions of African American thinkers, inventors, and entrepreneurs past and present, but also puts these achievements into context of the obstacles these innovators faced because of their race. Successful entrepreneurs and inventors share valuable characteristics like self-confidence, perseverance, and the ability to conceptualize unrealized solutions or opportunities. However, another personality trait has been required for African Americans wishing to become business owners, creative thinkers, or patent holders: a willingness to overcome the additional barriers placed before them because of their race, especially in the era before civil rights. The Entrepreneurial Spirit of African American Inventors provides historical accounts of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship among black Americans, from the 19th century to the present day. The author examines how these individuals stimulated industry, business activity, and research, helping shape the world as we know it and setting the precedent for the minority business tradition in the United States. This book also sheds light on fascinating advances made in metallurgy, medicine, architecture, and other fields that supply further examples of scientific inquiry and business acumen among African Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is an expressive voice of a culture, often more so than literature. While jazz and rap are musical genres popular among people of numerous racial and social backgrounds, they are truly important historically for their representation of and impact upon African American culture and traditions. Essays offer interdisciplinary study of jazz and rap as they relate to black culture in America. The essays are grouped under sections. One examines an Afrocentric approach to understanding jazz and rap; another, the history, culture, performers, instruments, and political role of jazz and rap. There are sections on the expressions of jazz in dance and literature; rap music as art, social commentary, and commodity; and the future. Each essay offers insight and thoughtful discourse on these popular musical styles and their roles within the black community and in American culture as a whole. References are included for each essay.
