Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new perspective on sociolinguistics in Africa. Eschewing the traditional approach which looks at the interaction between European and African languages in the wake of colonialism, this book turns its focus to the social dynamics of African languages and African societies. Divided into two sections, the book offers insight into the crucial topics such as: language vitality and endangerment, the birth of ‘new languages’, a sociolinguistics of the city, language contact and language politics. It spans the continent from Algeria to South Africa, Guinea-Bissau to Kenya and addresses the following broad themes: Language variation, contact and changeThe dynamics of urban, rural and youth languagesPolicy and practice This book provides an alternative to the Eurocentric view of sociolinguistic dynamics in Africa, and will make an ideal read or supplemental textbook for scholars and students in the field/disciplines of African languages and linguistics, and those interested in southern theory or ‘sociolinguistics in the margins’.

Download or read book La Paix Mondiale written by Salomon Alain Mpouma and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vous avez certainement mené une vie aventureuse qui reflète des intérêts culturels forts multiples et l'appréciation de la diversité. Votre histoire est surtout intéressante en raison de la façon dont vous concordez les observations des philosophes à votre expérience. Il est clair que vous croyez profondément dans l'importance de l'introspection comme une voie à une meilleure compréhension de soi et de la famille humaine dans son ensemble. Votre ton est humble et enrichissant. Gail Cato, Éditeur de BookSurge. L'auteur aligne son histoire personnelle avec les réflexions des autres pour la recherche du bonheur intérieur, y compris un bon nombre de penseurs tels que Woodsworth et Gandhi. Mpouma a assez à dire sur sa vie, qui a été de ne pas se sentir à l'aise nulle part. Les choses ont pris une grande tournure lorsqu'il avait deux ans et demi et son père, un candidat à un poste public au Cameroun, a été assassiné. Il grandit au milieu de cette tourmente familiale qui le mettait souvent dans des démêlés à la maison et à l'école. Il vécût de temps en temps entre les maisons de sa mère, ses frères et de son père adoptif, sans jamais se sentir intégré. Pendant ce temps, il a ressenti une connection avec son feu grand-père, connu sous le nom d'Oboss; celui qui fiche toujours tout en l'air. Mpouma a été conforté et inspiré par l'histoire de son grand-père, son franc-parler et son honnêteté dans les réunions de famille ou du village. Vers la fin de sa vingtaine, Mpouma gagna l'approbation de sa famille en se mariant et travaillant à la Banque. Mais son coeur n'était pas dans mariage, et après avoir obtenu le divorce, l'approbation évidemment disparue. Mpouma a rejoint la Soka Gakkai International (SGI), une organisation bouddhiste qui favorise la paix dans le monde entier par la réalisation de la paix intérieure.

Download or read book Negotiating the Livelihoods of Children and Youth in Africa s Urban Spaces written by Michael Bourdillon and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with problems facing children and youth in African cities today. African populations have high growth rates and, consequently, relatively high proportions of young people. Population growth in rural areas has stretched resources leading to urban migration and a rapid growth of cities. Economies have not grown apace with the population; and in some countries, economies have even shrunk. The result is a severe lack of resources in cities to meet the needs of the growing populations, shown in high unemployment, inadequate housing, poor services, and often extreme poverty. All the essays in this book draw attention to such urban environments, in which children and youth have to live and survive. The title of this book speaks of negotiating livelihoods. The concept of ‘livelihood’ has been adopted to incorporate the social and physical environment together with people’s responses to it. It considers not only material, but also human and social resources, including local knowledge and understanding. It, thus, considers the material means for living in a broader context of social and cultural interpretation. It, therefore, does not deal only with material and economic existence, but also with leisure activities, entertainments and other social forms of life developed by young people in response to the dictates of the environment. The book contains country-specific case studies of the problems faced by youths in many African cities, how they develop means to solve them, and the various creative ways through which they improve their status, both economically and socially, in the different urban spaces. It recognizes the potentials of young people in taking control of their lives within the constraints imposed upon them by the society. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of child and youth development, and a useful tool for parents, teachers, academics, researchers as well as government and non-government development agencies.

Download or read book Getting to Scale written by Laurence Chandy and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global development community is teeming with different ideas and interventions to improve the lives of the world's poorest people. Whether these succeed in having a transformative impact depends not just on their individual brilliance but on whether they can be brought to a scale where they reach millions of poor people. Getting to Scale explores what it takes to expand the reach of development solutions beyond an individual village or pilot program so they serve poor people everywhere. Each chapter documents one or more contemporary case studies, which together provide a body of evidence on how scale can be pursued. The book suggests that the challenge of scaling up can be divided into two solutions: financing interventions at scale, and managing delivery to large numbers of beneficiaries. Neither governments, donors, charities, nor corporations are usually capable of overcoming these twin challenges alone, indicating that partnerships are key to success. Scaling up is mission critical if extreme poverty is to be vanquished in our lifetime. Getting to Scale provides an invaluable resource for development practitioners, analysts, and students on a topic that remains largely unexplored and poorly understood.

Download or read book The Great Stagnation written by Tyler Cowen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyler Cowen’s controversial New York Times bestseller—the book heard round the world that ignited a firestorm of debate and redefined the nature of America’s economic malaise. America has been through the biggest financial crisis since the great Depression, unemployment numbers are frightening, media wages have been flat since the 1970s, and it is common to expect that things will get worse before they get better. Certainly, the multidecade stagnation is not yet over. How will we get out of this mess? One political party tries to increase government spending even when we have no good plan for paying for ballooning programs like Medicare and Social Security. The other party seems to think tax cuts will raise revenue and has a record of creating bigger fiscal disasters that the first. Where does this madness come from? As Cowen argues, our economy has enjoyed low-hanging fruit since the seventeenth century: free land, immigrant labor, and powerful new technologies. But during the last forty years, the low-hanging fruit started disappearing, and we started pretending it was still there. We have failed to recognize that we are at a technological plateau. The fruit trees are barer than we want to believe. That's it. That is what has gone wrong and that is why our politics is crazy. In The Great Stagnation, Cowen reveals the underlying causes of our past prosperity and how we will generate it again. This is a passionate call for a new respect of scientific innovations that benefit not only the powerful elites, but humanity as a whole.
