Book Decolonial Marxism

Download or read book Decolonial Marxism written by Walter Rodney and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A previously unpublished collection of Rodney's essays on Marxism, spanning his engagement with of Black Power, Ujamaa Villages, and the everyday people who put an end to a colonial era Early in life, Walter Rodney became a major revolutionary figure in a dizzying range of locales that traversed the breadth of the Black diaspora: in North America and Europe, in the Caribbean and on the African continent. He was not only a witness of a Pan-African and socialist internationalism; in his efforts to build mass organizations, catalyze rebellious ferment, and theorize an anti-colonial path to self-emancipation, he can be counted among its prime authors. Decolonial Marxism records such a life by collecting previously unbound essays written during the world-turning days of Black revolution. In drawing together pages where he elaborates on the nexus of race and class, offers his reflections on radical pedagogy, outlines programs for newly independent nation-states, considers the challenges of anti-colonial historiography, and produces balance sheets for a dozen wars for national liberation, this volume captures something of the range and power of Rodney's output. But it also demonstrates the unbending consistency that unites his life and work: the ongoing reinvention of living conception of Marxism, and a respect for the still untapped potential of mass self-rule.

  • Publisher : Indiana University Press
  • Release : 2012-06-27
  • ISBN : 025300215X
  • Pages : 415 pages

Download or read book The Culture of Colonialism written by T. O. Beidelman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to be an African subject living in remote areas of Tanganyika at the end of the colonial era? For the Kaguru of Tanganyika, it meant daily confrontation with the black and white governmental officials tasked with bringing this rural people into the mainstream of colonial African life. T. O. Beidelman's detailed narrative links this administrative world to the Kaguru's wider social, cultural, and geographical milieu, and to the political history, ideas of indirect rule, and the white institutions that loomed just beyond their world. Beidelman unveils the colonial system's problems as it extended its authority into rural areas and shows how these problems persisted even after African independence.

This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "All scholarship is a collective endeavour, but this book, and the context in which it was completed, has taught us more about the necessities of collective intellectual work, and its material and emotional conditions, than we would have liked. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown came to our cities just as we completed the first draft of the book, but with a lot more work to do. Even before the coronavirus, we were conscious of the extent to which intellectual labour depends on other forms of labour, often unacknowledged and provided by others"--

Book Yesterday s Rulers

  • Pages : 298 pages

Download or read book Yesterday s Rulers written by Robert Heussler and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1963-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over thirty years, the man chiefly responsible for the selection of men to rule the British colonies was R. D. Furse. He found the qualities needed—courage, firmness, dignity, sympathy, and physical and moral stamina—in members of the British ruling classes, prepared by tradition and by education at Public Schools and at Oxford and Cambridge. In this lively study of recruitment for the administrative branch of the British colonial service under Furse, the author writes: “Colonial officials of the interwar years were a mixed lot. . . . But in the judgment of those who selected them they had in common that passion for ruling which Santayana and other acute observers of the English scene have identified as a distinctively British national trait.” It is Heussler’s thesis that the men in the colonies, rather than official policy, made British colonialism what it was; and Furse’s selection of those men was governed by moral rather than scientific requirements. The book traces the colonial administrative service from the time when Africa was “the white man’s grave” to the years after World War II when the need for special, formal training had become urgent and recommendations for reform were put into effect. By the time cadets trained in the “new spirit” arrived in their posts, however, Kwame Nkrumah had already raised the banner of independence, and the effect of the old spirit—elitist, paternalistic, authoritarian—was put to the test in a disturbed sociopolitical atmosphere.

Book Class Choreographies

Download or read book Class Choreographies written by Jane Kenway and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded Best Book prize by CIES Globalization and Education SIG Awarded 2nd Prize in the Society of Educational Studies Annual Book Prize Elite schools have always been social choreographers par excellence. The world over, they put together highly dexterous performances as they stage and restage changing relations of ruling. They are adept at aligning their social choreographies to shifting historical conditions and cultural tastes. In multiple theatres, they now regularly rehearse the irregular art of being global. Elite schools around the world are positioned at the intersecting pinnacles of various scales, systems and regimes of social, cultural, political and economic power. They have much in common but are also diverse. They illustrate how various modalities of power are enjoyed and put to work and how educational and social inequalities are shaped and shifted. They, thus, speak to the social zeitgeist. This book dissects this intricate choreography.
