Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Earth and Its Inhabitants, Vol. 2: Africa; North-West Africa On the North African seaboard the rounded mass of the plateau of Barka corresponds with the region of Tunis, which limits the Gulf of Cabes towards the west, and projects in the Carthaginian headlands in the direction of Sicily. The two territories resemble one another in their geographical position, their climate, and products. They also played their part in the history of the old world, one through its Hellenic colonies, the other through its Phoenician republic. In comparing Cyrene with Carthage, observers have dwelt on the natural advantages of the former, and have expressed their surprise that it never rose to the same pitch of commercial prosperity as its western rival. It is, however, to be observed that for the purposes of international trade Carthage really occupied a position far superior to that of the maritime cities of Cyrenaica. Forming no part of the Greek world, it did not reach the same standard of general culture; and although not lacking great thinkers, it never exercised the same influence in the development of the arts and sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nyitso a Novel of West Africa It was mid-morning, a bright, cloudless morning, suffused with heat, but a pleasant heat that menaced but never consumed. A pallidly splendid sun moved majestically to the zenith of a pale blue, rain-washed sky, poised above a drenched green earth. Elsewhere, the time of the year was the close of the calendar half-year. Here it was the close of the third season, the third of the five seasons. The rains were drawing to a close. Ahead, on the eastern horizon, lay an opaque haze. It contained a threat which the late afternoon sun might bring to fulfilment, when the wide plains would crouch beneath the sudden onslaught of the rain. But now the plains were at peace and unafraid, glorious, green, sweeping plains, the short grass thick and vigorous. Noisy little watercourses chattered their way in brimming, important threads, forgetful that in the dry season they would shrink and dwindle into nothingness. Here and there were clusters of thorn bushes and twisted euphorbias, dwarfed beside the tall stateliness of borassus palms, foliage spread out luxuriantly against the background of pale sky.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Merely a Negress: A West African Story The sun stood proudly above the docks on a beautiful morning in June, 19 -, and the light was dappling the river with opalescent tints. Liverpool was at her busiest period, for this was the height of the West African season, and the steamers were running on an augmented service. Cabs were rattling up to the landing-stages, passengers were hurrying along the gangways, and everywhere was the multitudinous murmur of traffic. When Frank Benson arrived at the Toxteth Dock there were three of the Elder-Dempster boats in process of discharging cargo. He never visited Liverpool without calling at this favourite haunt of business men. After the comparative sleepiness of his little Manchester suburb the effect of this ceaseless activity was revivifying, renascent, strengthening.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In an Elephant Corral, and Other Tales of West African Experiences When I removed, in 1865, from Corisco Is land to Benita, fifty miles north on the mainland, among the many night-voices (more numerous than those of the Island) was one which, by its plaintiveness, struck me as most distressing. So much so, that for some time I thought that resi dence there would be unendurable. It came early in the evening, in only certain seasons of the year, and did not continue all night. On the night air the voice arose low and sad, and, swelling in a gradual crescendo for several seconds, as gradu ally sunk in a diminuendo of several seconds, like a long drawn-out sigh, an Ah! Of grief. The cry was probably at a mating-season. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Remotely Global written by Charles Piot and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, the remote villages of the Kabre people of northern Togo appear to have all the trappings of a classic "out of the way" African culture—subsistence farming, straw-roofed houses, and rituals to the spirits and ancestors. Arguing that village life is in fact an effect of the modern and the global, Charles Piot suggests that Kabre culture is shaped as much by colonial and postcolonial history as by anything "indigenous" or local. Through analyses of everyday and ceremonial social practices, Piot illustrates the intertwining of modernity with tradition and of the local with the national and global. In a striking example of the appropriation of tradition by the state, Togo's Kabre president regularly flies to the region in his helicopter to witness male initiation ceremonies. Confounding both anthropological theorizations and the State Department's stereotyped images of African village life, Remotely Global aims to rethink Euroamerican theories that fail to come to terms with the fluidity of everyday relations in a society where persons and things are forever in motion.
