Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume were originally presented at a workshop held at the University of Calgary on August 1–5, 1977 and sponsored by the Calgary Institute for the Humanities. The phrase “the new land” underwent careful scrutiny and reassessment during the course of the conference, and the insights that resulted from the readings and discussions were of considerable value to participants and observers alike. Chronologically and thematically the essays cover a wide range: from La Nouvelle France as seen by the early missionaries and by the French Romantic writer Chateaubriand to variations on the new land theme in present-day Qußbec; from the Prairies as seen by an early homesteader-novelist from France, Constantin-Weyer, to the Manitoba of Gabrielle Roy, which in turn is contrasted to the Nebraska of Willa Cather; from a historical recreation of the Saskatchewan landscape and history by a gifted contemporary novelist Rudy Wiebe, to a paradisal celebration of British Columbia reflected in the later works of Malcolm Lowry. What emerged from all of this, among other things, was the articulation of a mythology about the new land that was far more complex and expansive than the one derived originally through an old–world perspective.

Nendela tells her story from a child’s perspective; her journey and hardships in fulfilling her destiny and—The Prophecy. From the moment of her capture; to the birth of her twins aboard a slave ship during a storm, Nendela must be strong and believe she is the chosen one. Antar the quiet protector and warrior will risk his life to keep Nendela safe. In the midst of violence and turbulence they come together as husband and wife—thus the prophecy is set in motion. They will carry the seeds of Africa to a distant, unknown land, passing through The Door of No Return. Wise beyond her years she uses the advice given to her by her ancestors to survive. The Ancestors and Ancient Ones knew this day would come, but a child is never prepared. This is Nendela’s story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2008, foreign land acquisitions have attracted international attention under the term »land grabbing.« Illustrated by rich and nuanced empirical accounts of forty Chinese and British investment projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, Ariane Goetz explains the phenomenon of »land grabbing« from the perspective of two investor countries. She reflects on Chinese and British public policy, state-society relations, national developmental contexts, ideologies, and international relations and thereby gives insights into the political economies that enable these investments as well as the development ambitions and institutionalized paradigms of which they form a part.
