Download or read book An African Abroad written by Aurora Mizutani and published by Aurora Mizutani. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aurora Mizutani has written a book that questions everything we have ever thought about. “An African Abroad” is the memoir of one of Moshood Adisa Olabisi Ajala's children. Olabisi Ajala was a renowned journalist, traveller, and actor. The book briefly recollects the lifelong achievements of the author's father and highlights his interactions with his young daughter. “An African Abroad" is a collection of anecdotes that speaks to the reader about international adventures, friendships, relationships, trials, and tribulations. The first-person account addresses complex subjects, including teenage escapades, parental trauma, and redemption through political and historical self-re-education. The book invites the reader to adopt a realistic perspective (instead of burying their heads in the sand). It reveals her theory about the deep-rooted and biggest secret in the entertainment industry and shines a light on the prevailing darkness surrounding child exploitation and grooming. This fictionalised journal is written in a cynical yet uplifting instructive manner, where the narrator undergoes a state of censure to achieve her goal of contemplation, self-analysis and ultimately autonomy from socially imposed scruples. Spread into eleven chapters, “An African Abroad” transports the reader on a journey that depicts the narrator's character and growth.

Download or read book Toys Play and Child Development written by Jeffrey H. Goldstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-24 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anything to do with children's entertainment is a source of controversy: children's television programmes, musical preferences, and leisure activities are frequent sources of debate. Toys and play are often singled out for attention, particularly war toys, sex-typed toys, and video games with aggressive themes. Are these harmful to children? Are they addictive? Alternatively, can parents facilitate children's learning with educational toys? Toys, Play, and Child Development explores these and other questions. Parental attitudes and reactions towards war toys are described, as are the children's views themselves. Toys and play are shown to contribute to the development of language, imagination, and intellectual achievement and to be effective in child psychotherapy.
