Download or read book Dispatches from the Ebony Tower written by Manning Marable and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What constitutes black studies and where does this discipline stand at the end of the twentieth century? In this wide-ranging and original volume, Manning Marable--one of the leading scholars of African American history--gathers key materials from contemporary thinkers who interrogate the richly diverse content and multiple meanings of the collective experiences of black folk. Here are numerous voices expressing very different political, cultural, and historical views, from black conservatives, to black separatists, to blacks who advocate radical democratic transformation. Here are topics ranging from race and revolution in Cuba, to the crack epidemic in Harlem, to Afrocentrism and its critics. All of these voices, however, are engaged in some aspect of what Marable sees as the essential triad of the black intellectual tradition: describing the reality of black life and experiences, critiquing racism and stereotypes, or proposing positive steps for the empowerment of black people. Highlights from Dispatches from the Ebony Tower - Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Manning Marable debate the role of activism in black studies. - John Hope Franklin reflects on his role as chair of the President's race initiative. - Cornel West discusses topics that range from the future of the NAACP through the controversies surrounding Louis Farrakhan and black nationalism to the very question of what "race" means. - Amiri Baraka lays out strategies for a radical new curriculum in our schools and universities. - Marable's introduction provides a thorough overview of the history and current state of black studies in America.

Download or read book Still at Large written by Chris Thurman and published by African Humanities. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about the arts in South Africa is a tricky proposition. Trying to keep up with the country's politics is a fool's errand. Yet these are the twin tasks set before Chris Thurman moonlighting as an arts critic and occasional socio-political commentator. In this book, the many frontiers between art and politics are made explicit. When reading its 'dispatches' -grouped thematically and framed by introductory letters-context is key. A week is a long time in politics; the twists and turns in the South African and global current affairs create an intriguing dialogue between the columns, polemics, essays and reviews collected here. "Still at Large" presents itself as an historical barometer or thermometer, indicating the pressure and heat of particular moments in time. Along the way, in a voice shifting from the journalistic to the academic and from chatty to critical, Thurman plays various roles: guide, provocateur, companion, campaigner, raconteur, castigator, confidant and teacher. He may not be a consistent correspondent, but he is good company. (Series: African Humanities) [Subject: South African Studies, Politics, Art]
Download or read book Asking for Trouble written by Donald Woods and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of a banned journalist. 'Why was I, a fifth-generation white South African, editor for twelve years of one of the country's longest-established newspapers, escaping in disguise in fear of political police?' Donald Woods grew up in the midst of the Bomvanas, as the only white child. He spoke their language, Xhosa, with the same fluency as the Bomvanas. Naturally, his upbringing played a key role in Daniel Woods' future. With no journalism degree available, Daniel Woods studied law, but reverted to journalism when he realised this was his only passion. In 1977, editor Donald Woods was silenced. After publicly opposing apartheid, he was banned from editing his newspaper, the Daily Dispatch, and writing his widely syndicated column. An open critic of the National Party and a firm supporter of the Black Consciousness Movement, Woods had waged a journalistic war against the government for many years. The death of Steve Biko, the movement's founder, and the growth of personal attacks on Woods and his family finally compelled them to flee the country In this honest and eloquent account of his life in South Africa, Donald Woods recounts his legal training, his progress as a journalist and his advocacy of black rights. Asking for Trouble is an inspiring portrait of a courageous and uncompromising man at war with injustice.Donald Woods was born in Transkei in 1933 and studied law in Gape Town before becoming a journalist. At the age of thirty-one he was appointed editor of the Daily Dispatch, a leading anti-apartheid newspaper in South Africa. Until he was silenced by government banning orders in October 1977, he wrote the most widely read syndicated column in the country. He and his wife and their five children escaped to Britain in 1978 and now live in London, where he works as a writer, broadcaster and lecturer on South African affairs. His other books include Biko and South African Dispatches.
