Mazisi Kunene: Literature, Activism, and African Worldview (Routledge Studies in African Literature)
by Dike OkoroThis book examines the life and work of Mazisi Kunene, the only recognized poet laureate of Africa, a Nobel Prize nominee, and a key symbol of African cultural independence. Kunene is widely recognized for his epic poems that assert cultural identity and condemn the disruption of the growth and development of African culture through colonialism/postcolonialism. This book explores how ‘oraliterature’ and cultural traditions informed Kunene’s poetry, how Kunene’s poetry highlights African women and mothers, and how activism, mythology and transnational identities are depicted in his verse to promote cultural and generational continuities from Africa to the Diasporic Africans. Drawing on a range of interviews and comparative studies, the book situates Kunene’s work in a wider conversation about South African social struggles. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of one of the giants of African literary history. As such, it will be of interest to researchers across African literary and postcolonial studies.

Mañana te espero de pie

Este libro no narra el testimonio de Alberto Mishaan, empresario, amante de los deportes acuáticos y la buena gastronomía, quien a sus 60 años, y en el mejor momento de su vida, tuvo que enfrentarse a una extrañísima situación que en 24 horas lo dejó paralizado, desde la cabeza hasta los pies, el síndrome Guillain-Barré, una enfermedad mortal cuyo diagnóstico fue nefasto: tres meses de vida. Este libro, escrito desde el fondo del alma y del corazón es un relato de cómo el autor decidió ganarle la batalla a la muerte. Y de cómo sus familiares fueron los custodios de ese propósito. Una conmovedora narración sobre la fragilidad de estar vivo.

McClellan's War: The Failure Of Moderation In The Struggle For The Union
by Ethan S. Rafuse&“An important book that rescues George B. McClellan&’s military reputation.&” —Chronicles Bold, brash, and full of ambition, George Brinton McClellan seemed destined for greatness when he assumed command of all the Union armies before he was 35. It was not to be. Ultimately deemed a failure on the battlefield by Abraham Lincoln, he was finally dismissed from command following the bloody battle of Antietam. To better understand this fascinating, however flawed, character, Ethan S. Rafuse considers the broad and complicated political climate of the earlier 19th Century. Rather than blaming McClellan for the Union&’s military losses, Rafuse attempts to understand his political thinking as it affected his wartime strategy. As a result, Rafuse sheds light not only on McClellan&’s conduct on the battlefields of 1861-62 but also on United States politics and culture in the years leading up to the Civil War. &“Any historian seriously interested in the period will come away from the book with useful material and a better understanding of George B. McClellan.&” —Journal of Southern History &“Exhaustively researched and lucidly written, Rafuse has done an excellent job in giving us a different perspective on &‘Little Mac.&’&” —Civil War History &“Rafuse&’s thoughtful study of Little Mac shows just how enthralling this complex and flawed individual continues to be.&” —Blue & Gray magazine

Me And Mine
by Anna May ManganAs soon as they'd saved up for the three 'S's' - shoes, suitcase and a suit - they left rural Ireland. It might have been the London of the 1950s where 'No Blacks, No Irish No Dogs' was the welcome put out for immigrants, but for the big family that was Anna May Mangan's, it was still better than the poverty they'd hailed from; 'Don't waste today worrying because tomorrow will be even worse' was their motto. But Ireland came with them in the dance halls, holy water and gossip and there was always the warmth of the Irish crowd, in and out of one another's houses 'as if there was no front door'.

Me Caribou Is On Fire: International Adventures of An Alaskan Hunting Guide
by Pete BuistMe Caribou Is On Fire is a great read! One can almost taste the camp grub he describes, whether prepared for or by him, smell the scents of the hunting camps and cabins and feel the bitter cold of the 1992 fall hunt or the Delta sheep hunt snowstorm. The descriptions of his many hunting experiences make the reader feel like they were there with him in the wild or on a flight to the next adventure. I can't wait for the sequel! Mike Fleagle, Former Chairman - Alaska Board of Game Pete Buist is undoubtedly the epitome of the outdoorsman in the truest meaning of the term. Trapper, hunter, master guide, firefighter are just some of his accomplishments; in a nutshell, a lifetime of adventure and excitement lived in the manner that makes me envious and at the same time filled with admiration. While guiding Pete in South Africa, it did cross my mind that I would have relished doing a hunt with our roles reversed and basking in the experience of a life well-lived. Pete Tumkulu "Buist has applied his knowledge, experience, and eloquence to add the title of Author to his other accomplishments and has produced a well-written, enjoyable read capable of transporting the reader to those wild places. John" Madala" Barnes Professional Hunter - South Africa The real "trophies" of a life spent outdoors are the stories. Indeed, storytelling is a foundational skill of the seasoned hunter, and Pete's "seasoning" reaches into a stratosphere most of us will never see. I became friends with Pete in 2008, and after only a couple of days of immersing myself in his storytelling prowess, I said, "Pete, you really need to write a book." And here it is. Pete's recall, precise detail, wit, and humor are extraordinary as he takes you along on countless adventures. These entertaining stories are definitely worth the price of admission.
