Описание: Jimmy Yu reveals that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, self-inflicted violence was an essential and sanctioned part of Chinese culture. He examines a wide range of practices, including blood writing, filial body-slicing, chastity mutilations and suicides, ritual exposure, and self-immolation, arguing that each practice was public, scripted, and a signal of certain cultural expectations.
Описание: Media Role in African Changing Electoral Process analyzes the effect of mass media on African elections. Featuring contributions by leading African scholars and professionals, this book covers a wide-array of social science disciplines, political discourses, and political communication issues.
Public deliberation, highly valued by many African societies, becomes the cornerstone of a new system of African political philosophy in this brilliant, highly original study. In Deliberative Agency, philosopher Uchenna Okeja offers a way to construct a new political center by building it around the ubiquitous African practice of public deliberation, a widely accepted means to resolve legal matters, reconcile feuding groups, and reestablish harmony.
In cities, hometown associations and voluntary organizations carry out the task of fostering deliberation among African groups for different reasons. In some instances, the deliberation aims to settle disputes. In others, the aim is to decide the best action to take to address unfortunate incidents such as death.
Through a measured, comparative analysis, Deliberative Agency argues that the best way to reimagine and harness the idea of public deliberation, based on current experiences in Africa, is to see it as performance of agency. Building a new political center around the practice places agency at the core of a new political life in Africa.

Описание: America was in the midst of the 2016 Presidential Election when two people from different walks of life are immediately connected during a four hour flight. One is a young African-American woman and the other is an older white WWII pilot; both having very different political views. This chance encounter takes place within the context of a contentious election year and in the midst of social discord. This unexpected connection leads her to California. She comes to learn more about him, his perspective, and how he came to believe what he believes. What she discovers is a gentle, compassionate man who is deeply committed to his country and community. Along the way, she discovers things about herself through her journey to learn more about him. This is a narrative about an unlikely journey to finding common ground in the face of civil and political unrest.
Описание: This book focuses on African metaphysics and epistemology, and is an exercise in decoloniality. Focusing specifically on both African metaphysics and African epistemology, the authors put forward theories formulated to stimulate fresh debates and extend the frontiers of learning in the field.
Описание: The western lands acquired from by the US from Great Britain after the Revolutionary War were divided into slave and free states, a compromise which precipitated the US Civil War.
