As the first inter-disciplinary study of ethnic relationship and cultural changes in the westernmost section of the Tibetan-Yi Corridor, this book brings together a broad range of analyses from the anthropological, historical, and frontier studies perspectives. The author builds on a synthesis of Fei Xiaotong¿s Tibetan-Yi corridor theory and Wang Mingming¿s cultural theory and to present a rich historical narrative of the dynamic interactions among the Lisu, Nu, Dulong, Naxi, Bai, Tibetan and Pumi ethnic groups in this region from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China period. In addition to a vast body of existing literature, the study also draws on extensive fieldwork. Its findings not only enhance our knowledge of the historical development of particular ethnic groups in a specific region but also have implications for how we should understand the development of the Chinese nation as a whole.

This book is testimony to the Ambazonia Project, which must come to fruition. Because its architects mean business and have a good liberation strategy and a sensible roadmap for realizing it. The availability of money is obviously a great drawback. But it is here delineated that finances alone cannot be enough to bring freedom to a people. Sapient, dedicated, farsighted, and patriotic leadership is topmost. Ambazonia is blessed to have these requisite qualities in the AWOL Leadership, aka Ayabacholization; thus, making an independent Ambazonia unstoppable. The social media chaos and numerous traitors can only aid in delaying it, they can never stop it.

In this personal story of becoming, belonging and being seen, a psychiatry resident pulls back the curtain on the journey to becoming a doctor.From childhood, Chika Oriuwa dreamed of being a doctor. She knew that she was destined to wear the white coat one day, no matter what it took. The high of being accepted to the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine in 2016 came crashing down when Oriuwa discovered she was the only Black student in her incoming class of 259 students. Oriuwa soon learned that medical school and a medical career are not immune to the systemic discrimination that permeates the fabric of our world. Interwoven with descriptions of on-the-ground medical training, personal moments of doubt and success, and reflections on mental health and family expectations, Unlike the Rest is the moving and inspiring story of a young doctor's journey through medical school and residency, where she found her calling in the science and in the patients, but also felt alone and lonely, and compelled to advocate for change, not only for those in training but for those in care. And while the risks in speaking up seemed great, to simply endure was unacceptable.If you've ever doubted that you belong or struggled to find your voice, Unlike the Rest will inspire you to stay true to yourself and fight for what you believe in.

Dry Eyes of Innocence is an extraordinary story of courage and strength in the fight against leukemia! A chronicle from the author's viewpoint, as he witnesses a personal transformation unfold in the last five or six years of his brother's awe-inspiring battle. Jeffrey was imprisoned from the age of 15 to 37, and then released into a world foreign to him. As an adult, in free society, Jeffrey learned the ropes of true manhood and responsibility and then fell victim to a terminal illness, growing spiritually and emotionally while withering physically. Jeff and his family ponder -- will a matching donor be found in time? Will the transplant be successful, or rejected? Will the effects of this physical assault on his body cause him to succumb? Or, will victory reign? The author finds himself in transformation from fear to victory, learning of Jeffrey's leukemia at the most inopportune time, then helping his big brother overcome some of the most surreal moments of life imaginable. One finger in the air from Jeffrey is the constant reminder of his source of strength. This thug turned darling, with no internal organs and no self-sustaining breath, musters the strength to raise one finger and miraculously sing, "There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No, not one. No, not one!" All the ward nurses and doctors come running to witness this miracle!

Un viaggio tra fantasia, ragione ed etica civile.La filastrocca ci ricorda i primi movimenti del nostro corpo…il battito del cuore…l'onda del respiro…riecheggia le nostre prime parole…riflette le cadenze del mondo…il moto del pendolo…delle stagioni…delle lunazioni…dei moti degli astri! Le parole della filastrocca hanno un cuore…battono come batte un tamburo in un villaggio africano quando nasce un bambino…o quando bisogna dar forza a un ammalato…o per i giovani che si vogliono innamorare! Nella filastrocca è centrale la dimensione etica del racconto, incardinata su precisi valori umani, civili e spirituali! Nella filastrocca c'è una forte tensione formativa, spinta dalla passione per l'uomo ( per farlo essere quello che può essere) e, nel contempo, dalla passione per una polis nuova, per una città rinnovata, in cui i valori della democrazia - uguaglianza, solidarietà, pace - siano veramente riconosciuti e vissuti. Tutta la raccolta corre lungo il doppio binario della creatività e dell'impegno, della mente creativa e dell'etica civile e si dispone nel solco aureo di un'educazione al futuro. Un futuro - se possibile - migliore del presente, che per l'uomo moderno, secolarizzato e laico, è il suo primo, più forte e più irrinunciabile articolo di fede e sogno collettivo.

What was the cultural legacy of enslaved Africans in the American South, and how has that legacy been handed through generations?For author Deirdre Foreman, this question is a very personal one: in this book, she explores the cultural legacy of enslaved Africans in the American South through an ethno-autobiographical reflection on her own African-American identity and family heritage. Through storytelling and personal narratives, the author describes her family's cultural practices and how they are directly rooted in those of the enslaved Africans on the southern plantations. Known as "cultural survivors," enslaved Africans established cultural customs and norms out of resistance to the control of white slaveholders to maintain their independence and pride.Ideal reading for students of Black studies, African American studies, Africana studies, and related courses, this autoethnography humanizes and personalizes concepts that are crucial to the understanding of Black culture and Black history.

Cognitive dissonance is a historical amnesia caused by the falsification of history, epistemicides and cultural genocides, manifests in forms of inferiority complex, self-hate, and self-alienation of the black people and the sense of superiority as natural to the white race. It manifests in dichotomy, affects both white race and black people, it can be called coloniality of being. Therefore this situation led to racism, exploitations, political nihilism, exploitation of woman, oppression of the margins therefore the need to confront cognitive dissonance. Confronting is the first step, which explains the realisation of the effects of the subjects and then deconstructs it, hence the need to confront and deconstruct cognitive dissonance. But the journey should not end there, but should create the templates of peaceful post-coloniality.

¿This book assesses the nature and extent of the project of deracialisation required to counter the contemporary dynamics of racialisation across four varieties of modernity: Sweden, South Africa, Brazil and the UK, based on original research on each of the four country contexts. Since racism began to be recognised or identified as a problem, an assemblage of supra-national initiatives have been devised in the name of combatting, dismantling or reducing it. There has been a recent shift whereby such supra-national bodies move toward embedding strategies against racism within the framework of human rights and devolving such responsibility to other bodies at a national level.The authors bring together a team of international experts in this field, in order to compare the priorities and effectiveness of current strategic approaches in each national context, examining their relationalities and connecting these cases within a joint theoretical and methodological framework. Thus, this book contributes to theoretical knowledge on racialisation and deracialisation, produce a new data set on contemporary interventions and institutions and establish new principles and practice for national projects of deracialisation and anti-racism, building on cross-national learning.

I løbet af nogle få årtier er den vestlige tradition gået fra at være fejret til at være pinlig og anakronistisk og sluttelig til at være noget skamfuldt. Den vendte sig fra at være en fortælling, som skulle inspirere mennesker og nære dem i deres liv, til at være en fortælling, som skal udskamme mennesker. Og det var ikke blot begrebet ”vestlig”, som kritikere protesterede mod. Det var alt, som var forbundet med dette begreb. Endog ”civilisation”.Der er mange facetter af denne krig mod Vesten. Den udkæmpes på tværs af medierne og gennem hele uddannelsessystemet – så tidlig som i børnehaveklasserne. Den er meget udbredt i den bredere kultur, hvor alle vigtigere kulturinstitutioner enten er under pres eller frivilligt lægger afstand til deres egen fortid.For ofte fremstiller vi denne kamp helt forkert. Vi tillader os at betragte den som temporær eller som findende sted i periferien, eller vi affærdiger den som en kulturkrig. Vi misfortolker deltagernes mål, eller vi undervurderer den rolle, denne krig vil få i kommende generationers liv.(fra Douglas Murrays indledning til bogen)

This edited collection examines the significance and implications of anti-Black racism and anti-African racisms for schooling and education in African contexts. It seeks to address the following questions: How do we speak about race, racism and anti-Black racism in Africa? In what ways do practices of anti-Black racism converge and diverge from anti-African racism? How might we understand anti-Black racism in majority Black countries? How does anti-Black racism connect with interstices of difference (i.e., class, gender, sexuality, ability, language, religion, etc.) to offer complex readings of social oppression and resistance in African contexts? In the face of silencing courage, denials, deflection and organized push back we must reflect on the dialectic of theory and practice in schooling and education to respond to global anti-Black racism. Papers in this edited collection will explore the connections and possibilities of decolonial pedagogies and critical anti-racist practice to respond to the specificity of anti-Black and anti-African racism. In a current context of the globalization of anti-Black racism there is a need for a more nuanced examination of anti-Black and anti-African racisms in order to develop more effective ways of addressing systemic colonial oppressions. The various chapters examine the ways anti-Black and anti-African racisms are rooted in African histories of European colonialization and enslavement, African cultural and political narratives as well as spiritual memories of African existential realities, and the continuing existence of Black life and the African humanhood today.

RAW DEAL explores the theft of Native lands by squatters, speculators, unfair treaties and blatant swindles, focusing on the Indians of the Midwest and the Great Lakes.Although Indian lands were paid for with hard cash and services provided by the U.S. government, it was always for pennies per acre, backed by the threat of removal at the point of bayonets, sabers and guns wielded by government troops and violent militias. Native peoples who bowed to government demands soon learned that federal treaties rarely lived up to their promises.Raw Deal traces the heroic efforts of the Indians to retain their homeland through centuries of warfare and exploitation. From the first people to inhabit the Upper Great Lakes 13,000 years ago, Raw Deal ranges across the centuries in the confrontation between Native peoples and the hard-luck immigrants of Europe, who came flooding across the ocean, eager to get their share in a dog-eat-dog world.
