Download or read book Dawn Starts in the West written by L. Robert Pyle and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con Ataxia was a farmboy. He knew nothing of the City except as the place of Market—where his father sold their crops and got the finances for another season on the hardscrabble, mountain farm. He knew nothing of the Commander or the Army. He knew less about the Rebels. The Dragon and Dragon Raiders were mythical beings used by old women to make the children obey—until the Raiders murdered his sisters and kidnapped his father on that first day of his eighteenth Market. Then, Con had to learn quickly. He had to learn who were friends and who were enemies. He had to learn who had power and who did not. He had to learn to fight—in a desperate battle for his father's soul and his own. Follow Con's journey through the Valley—through the traps and hypocrisy of the City, through the training in the Commanders camp, to the final testing in the Dragon's Citadel. The story will keep you reading page after page. The symbols will stay with you for weeks after you've finished. The message will touch your heart.

Download or read book Unmasking the African Ghost written by Cyril Orji and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Africa is a ghost story with two plots. One is foreign or imported and the other indigenous or local. The foreign plot has its origin in colonial history. The indigenous plot is African in origin. But both plots end in the same place: African trauma and culture complex. These narratives create in modern Africa a splintered consciousness and the political and economic conditions that lead to physical and psychological violence. Unmasking the African Ghost is both a theological exploration of the reasons the political and economic systems in African countries have failed and a proposal for the paths toward recovery, anchored in the belief that Africa is a continent continuously trying to redefine its identity in the face of Eurocentrism. For the church in Africa to be a church at the service of its people, theology in Africa must take misery and oppression as the context for its reflections and its reconstruction of the social order. An African solution to African problems must be able to meet the needs of the time. It must look to the African past to draw from its riches--particularly the African sociopolitical ethic of ubuntu. It must also look ahead and draw from the best available sociopolitical system of modern states: liberal democracy. A hybrid of these two yields ubuntucracy. Ubuntucracy removes the ghosts of both Africa and its Western colonizers and begins a new story that can help Africa survive its double bind.
