Book excerpt: Within Scope of Ascension is a poetic litany of philosophies and prose that addresses a wide range of subject matter on the human condition, from both the past and present. The book hopes to encourage readers to exercise freedom of independent thought, while aiming to inspire patience, tolerance, and acceptance of others feelings, beliefs, and expressions. It also presents a 300-year historical analysis of specific political, economic, cultural, and social agendas, and their distinct effects on the human condition from 1712 to 2012. The book was written to help forge a universal awareness that can fortify communications and ultimately empathy with one another across ethnic and racial boundaries. Vincent Shawn Augmon lives in New England. He works in the health care industry and moonlights as an entertainment promoter of comedy and music. He began writing at an early age and counts Malcolm X (Malik Shabazz El Hajj) as his inspiration to use the power of words to expound on his perceptions of reality. He hopes with his book of poetry and prose, titled Within Scope of Ascension, to convey hope and to broaden one's awareness of life and the world's conditions.He would like the book to establish a common ground throughout cultures and reach out to people to acquire information, overcome ignorance, and make everyone more aware. To accomplish this, he writes on eclectic subjects so his work may appeal to the world. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/VincentShawnAugmo

Download or read book African Proverbs Reveal Christianity in Culture written by W. Jay Moon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many oral cultures local proverbs are highly regarded for their wisdom and prized for their aesthetic expression. In this study Jay Moon provides an in-depth look at the use of local proverbs among the Builsa culture of Ghana, West Africa. In particular, the author's research shows how local proverbs can facilitate contextualized expressions of Christianity that are both biblically authentic and culturally relevant. The process of initiating and sustaining this form of expression is explicated with the help of an engaging narrative, providing valuable insights for those striving for genuine and meaningful expression of Christ in culture. This study will be especially beneficial to the missionary community, particularly for the purposes of appreciating oral literature in primary oral cultures, finding proper roles in the contextualization process, identifying cultural values via the window of local proverbs, training missionaries in cultural understanding, and tailoring discipleship training to incorporate significant aspects of orality

Book excerpt: The violent colonization of Africa by European nations toward the end of the 19th century—a colonization justified by theories about the African Mind promulgated in the Age of Reason—had a profound impact upon the mind of Black Africa.

Download or read book Mistaking Africa written by Curtis Keim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans the mention of Africa immediately conjures up images of safaris, ferocious animals, strangely dressed "tribesmen," and impenetrable jungles. Although the occasional newspaper headline mentions authoritarian rule, corruption, genocide, devastating illnesses, or civil war in Africa, the collective American consciousness still carries strong mental images of Africa that are reflected in advertising, movies, amusement parks, cartoons, and many other corners of society. Few think to question these perceptions or how they came to be so deeply lodged in American minds. Mistaking Africa looks at the historical evolution of this mind-set and examines the role that popular media plays in its creation. The authors address the most prevalent myths and preconceptions and demonstrate how these prevent a true understanding of the enormously diverse peoples and cultures of Africa.Updated throughout, the fourth edition covers the entire continent (North and sub-Saharan Africa) and provides new analysis of topics such as social media and the Internet, the Ebola crisis, celebrity aid, and the Arab Spring. Mistaking Africa is an important book for African studies courses and for anyone interested in unravelling American misperceptions about the continent.
