Download or read book The Tale of Sudan and Zimbabwe written by Sandra Seibert and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tale of Sudan and Zimbabwe is meant to be a hands-on experience for the listeners. The tale can be told while the story reader is playing various kinds of drums. The listeners can echo the storyteller. Rain sticks can be used for the rain. Use your imagination through the sounds of thunder, etc. The song uses pitches mi, so, and la and can be taught as an echo song, or it is perfect for having the listeners read the pitches and figure out the melody. You can have the listeners play the rhythm of the song, using the concept of the quarter rest. When Sudan sings the song with the village people, some of the listeners can sing Sudan's part and some can sing the village people's part as an ostinato. This tale also can coincide with a unit on African drumming and is always interesting for the listeners to find out that Sudan and Zimbabwe really exist on the map. Many questions arise if the story reader has a world map handy to show the listeners where Sudan and Zimbabwe are located.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When South Sudan's war began, the Beatles were playing their first hits and reaching the moon was an astronaut's dream. Half a century later, with millions massacred in Africa's longest war, the continent's biggest country split in two. It was an extraordinary, unprecedented experiment. Many have fought, but South Sudan did the impossible, and won. This is the story of an epic fight for freedom. It is also the story of a nightmare. First Raise a Flag details one of the most dramatic failures in the history of international state-building. three years after independence, South Sudan was lowest ranked in the list of failed states. War returned, worse than ever. Peter Martell has spent over a decade reporting from palaces and battlefields, meeting those who made a country like no other: warlords and spies, missionaries and mercenaries, guerrillas and gunrunners, freedom fighters and war crime fugitives, Hollywood stars and ex-slaves. Under his seasoned foreign correspondent's gaze, he weaves with passion and colour the lively history of the world's newest country. First Raise a Flag is a moving reflection on the meaning of nationalism, the power of hope and the endurance of the human spirit.

Download or read book Into Africa Out of Academia written by Kwan Kew Lai and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, Kwan Kew Lai left her full-time position as a professor in the United States to provide medical humanitarian aid to the remote villages and the war-torn areas of Africa. This memoir follows her experiences from 2006 to 2013 as she provided care during the HIV/AIDs epidemics, after natural disasters, and as a relief doctor in refugee camps in Kenya, Libya, Uganda and in South Sudan, where civil war virtually wiped out all existing healthcare facilities. Throughout her memoir, Lai recounts intimate encounters with refugees and internally displaced people in camps and in hospitals with limited resources, telling tales of their resilience, unflinching courage, and survival through extreme hardship. Her writing provides insight into communities and transports readers to heart-achingly beautiful parts of Africa not frequented by the usual travelers. This is a deeply personal account of the huge disparities in the healthcare system of our "global village" and is a call to action for readers to understand the interconnectedness of the modern world, the needs of less developed neighbors, and the shortcomings of their healthcare systems.

Download or read book Africa Writes Back written by James Currey and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2008 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 17 June 2008 is the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart by Heinemann. This provided the impetus for the foundation of the African Writers Series in 1962 with Chinua Achebe as the Editorial Adviser.'The book is therefore not only the story of a publishing enterprise of great significance; it is also a large part of the story of African literature and its dissemination in the latter half of the twentieth century. The manuscript is full of the drama of that enterprise, the drama of dealing with the mother house, William Heinemann, of dealing with the often intractable political constraints dominating the intellectual space across Africa, and not least of all dealing with the writers themselves - with their ambitions, their temperaments, their financial needs and, at time, their perception of a colonial relationship between themselves and a European publishing house.' - Clive Wake, Emeritus Professor of Modern Languages, University of Kent at Canterbury.

Mlalazi's novel is written with insight, humour and provides a salutory reminder that even in the worst of times, we can find humanity.
Download or read book Shakespeare in and Out of Africa written by Jane Plastow and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2013 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes as its starting point an interrogation of the African contributions to the Globe to Globe festival staged in London in 2012, where 37 Shakespeare productions were offered, each from a different nation. Five African companies were invited to perform and there are articles on four of these productions, examining issues of interculturalism, postcolonialism, language, interpretation and reception. The contributors are both Shakespeare and African theatre scholars, promoting discourse from a range of geographical and cultural perspectives. A critical debate about the process of the Globe to Globe festival is initiated in the form of a discussion article featuring some of its directors and actors. Two further articles look at Shakespeare productions made purely for Africa, from Mauritius and Cape Verde, and leading Nigerian playwright and cultural commentator Femi Osofisan provides an overview article examining Shakespeare in Africa in the 21st century. The playscript in this volume of African Theatre is Femi Osofisan's Wesoo, Hamlet or the Resurrection of Hamlet. Volume Editor: JANE PLASTOW Series Editors: Martin Banham, Emeritus Professor of Drama & Theatre Studies, University of Leeds; James Gibbs, Senior Visiting Research Fellow, University of the West of England; Femi Osofisan, Professor of Drama at the University of Ibadan; Jane Plastow, Professor of African Theatre, University of Leeds; Yvette Hutchison, Associate Professor, Department of Theatre & Performance Studies, University of Warwick
Download or read book Sudan Tales written by Rosemary Kenrick and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'These recollections of some Sudan Political Service wives', writes A.R. Walmsley in his foreword, 'touch not only on the horrors but also on the compensations which made their experience so rewarding, above all the camaraderie of the Service and the sterling qualities of the Sudanese people. This is no ordinary history, but an absorbing account of everyday things in a world which has now disappeared where, for fifty years, labouring in extreme conditions, a tiny foreign elite could run a vast country in preparation for its independence.' Reminiscences of British wives in Sudan between 1926-56 narrated in this collective work encompass the hectic, tragic, adventurous, and above all the comedy of women capable of enduring what cannot be cured. 'Once, while waiting for my husband to appear for lunch at 2.30, I glanced across at our water jug. A very large rat was standing on its hind legs, freely lapping. On B.'s return I said, "I'm afraid I can't stay married to anyone who has rats drinking his drinking water. I am leaving you." B. replied, "How actually will you leave?" Lacking a camel or any other practical transport to the railhead five hundred miles away, that put a stop to the conversation.' ROSEMARY KENRICK, wife of the former Assistant Adviser to the Governor-General, on Constitutional and External Affairs, lived as a Sudan Political Service wife in Talodi (l945-6), Rashad ( 1946-9), Omdurman (1949-53), and Khartoum (1953-5). Part of the Oleander Classics series, this 1985 title has been reproduced using the highest-quality modern scanning technology in order to keep this and other important works from the Press's 50-year history from going out of print. In this way, the invaluable resources provided by books in the series remain available for general readers, academics and other interested parties.
Download or read book Zimbabwe s New Diaspora written by JoAnn McGregor and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimbabwe’s crisis since 2000 has produced a dramatic global scattering of people. This volume investigates this enforced dispersal, and the processes shaping the emergence of a new "diaspora" of Zimbabweans abroad, focusing on the most important concentrations in South Africa and in Britain. Not only is this the first book on the diasporic connections created through Zimbabwe’s multifaceted crisis, but it also offers an innovative combination of research on the political, economic, cultural and legal dimensions of movement across borders and survival thereafter with a discussion of shifting identities and cultural change. It highlights the ways in which new movements are connected to older flows, and how displacements across physical borders are intimately linked to the reworking of conceptual borders in both sending and receiving states. The book is essential reading for researchers/students in migration, diaspora and postcolonial literary studies.
