DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Changing Face of African Literature combines both the large picture - a synopsis of current trends in African literature - and the small: studies of individual texts and of themes across several texts. The large and the small are linked by recurring themes, such as gender and sexuality, the nation-state and its collapse, AIDS, war, and suffering. The volume is comparative, bringing together literature in at least five languages and from at least ten national literatures. Such a large, comparative frame is implied by most discussion of African literature but is too seldom seen. At the same time, the collection also problematizes the comparison: the goal is to make clear what African literatures have in common but also where they diverge. What difference do distinct literary traditions, readerships, and publishing patterns make to literatures which share a common thematic and so many of the same questions and needs? By juxtaposing contemporary texts form several traditions, the intention of this collection is to bring out the themes that are currently dominant in African literatures generally. After a preface by Liz Gunner and a wide-ranging introduction by the editors, the collection presents keynote essays on new paradigms in African literature, before treating specific themes - recent crime fiction, the Afrikaans and anglophone novel, feminist literature, 'migritude' - and studies of recent works by individual authors such as André Brink, Henri Djombo, Pie Tshibanda, Bessora, Nadine Gordimer, and Paulina Chiziane, as well as the South African television series Yizo Yizo.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis monograph, published as part of the project "A Secondary Education for Europe," offers some basic data on the contemporary human geography of the European continent, with a focus on central and eastern Europe. The document first describes civic issues in the teaching of geography and cartography of the new Europe. The basic pedagogical intent of the text is to show, through a set of maps, the solidarity that links or should link the nations and states of Europe. The document advocates a geographical approach that takes into account Europe in peacetime and at war, the Europe to be developed, and the Europe to which peace must be brought. It argues that the teaching of geography must be modernized, particularly in the states that are in the process of being created, and that geography must portray territory in terms of different scales--the characteristics of a given area and the ways in which it fits into greater units. The second section describes changes that have affected European space since 1989, criteria for determining and defining Europe, and the demise of old and the creation of new states. Sections 3 through 5 describe basic geography, Europe at peace, and Europe in crisis. The chapters discuss economic gradients, the geography of transition and the focal position of the European Union, geo-economic entities, urbanization, continental reconnections, and migration patterns. Ten maps are included. (Contains 6 references.) (LMI)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis stimulating and insightful book reveals how increased control over immigration has changed cultural and social production in theatre, literature, and even museum construction. Dominic Thomas's analysis unravels the complex cultural and political realities of long-standing mobility between Africa and Europe. Thomas questions the attempt to place strict limits on what it means to be French or European and offers a sense of what must happen to bring about a renewed sense of integration and global Frenchness.
