Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine insightful, at times haunting stories spanning across settings in the Americas, Africa, and Australia. In “Namesakes,” and “A Playground for the Dark,” characters implore desperate measures to find joy. In “Akata,” family ties are tested—proving the strain of belonging to a deeply rooted culture. “In Windchimes in Pleasant Air,” two variations of loneliness and a longing for companionship unfold. “In Beautiful Ashes,” and “Curators of the Dead,” the surreal death of a loved one serves as a reminder that life is fleeting. And in “Codes of the Badagry Lagoon,” a young boy’s torturous adventures take him through the grimy scenes of Lagos. The main characters of these stories are desperate—most times, they are running from their truth. Each of these stories awaken the human in us; whether we seek to be loved, to belong, or to be at peace.

Book excerpt: This volume represents a more Africanist approach to the framework of maritime landscapes and challenges of adapting international heritage policy such as the UNESCO convention. While the concept of a maritime landscape is very broad, a more focused thematic strategy draws together a number of case studies in South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, and Nigeria with a common thread. Specifically, the contributors address the sub-theme of sea ports and sea power as part of understanding the African maritime landscape. Sea ports and surrounds are dynamic centers of maritime culture supporting a rich diversity of cultural groups and economic activities. Strategic locations along the African coastline have associations with indigenous maritime communities and trade centers, colonial power struggles and skirmishes, establishment of naval bases and operations, and World War I and II engagements.

Download or read book The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature written by Sarah Quesada and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature unearths a buried African archive within widely-read Latinx writers of the last fifty years. It challenges dominant narratives in World Literature and transatlantic studies that ignore Africa's impact in broader Latin American culture. Sarah Quesada argues that these canonical works evoke textual memorials of African memory. She shows how the African Atlantic haunts modern Latinx and Caribbean writing, and examines the disavowal or distortion of the African subject in the constructions of national, racial, sexual, and spiritual Latinx identity. Quesada shows how themes such as the 19th century 'scramble for Africa,' the decolonizing wars, Black internationalism, and the neoliberal turn are embedded in key narratives. Drawing from multilingual archives about West and Central Africa, she examines how the legacies of colonial French, Iberian, British and U.S. Imperialisms have impacted on the relationships between African and Latinx identities. This is the first book-length project to address the African colonial and imperial inheritance of Latinx literature.
