Download or read book Print Culture in Southern Africa written by Caroline Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Print Culture in Southern Africa is concerned with the institutions and processes informing textual production, circulation and consumption in the region, over a broad historical period from the late 18th century to the present day. The book is organised around three closely related themes. Firstly, it presents original research into the formation of reading publics and the impact of reading cultures, by uncovering obscure but important reading communities and circuits of book distribution and reception. A second theme is the relationship between print and politics, with a particular focus on the networks of power: how control over the production and circulation of printed books has shaped literary and cultural development. The third theme is transnational print culture, and how the control exercised by publishers in Europe and America has shaped literature and society in southern Africa. Drawing together interdisciplinary research and diverse methodologies, the collection encompasses a range of perspectives, including literary studies, anthropology, publishing studies, the history of the book and art history, and many of the chapters are based on previously unexamined archives and collections. The volume contributes to current debates and opens up new and exciting ways of furthering the study of postcolonial literature and African book history. The chapters included in this book were originally published in the Journal of Southern African Studies.

Download or read book The colonisation of time written by Giordano Nanni and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colonisation of Time is a highly original and long overdue examination of the ways that western-European and specifically British concepts and rituals of time were imposed on other cultures as a fundamental component of colonisation during the nineteenth century. Based on a wealth of primary sources, it explores the intimate relationship between the colonisation of time and space in two British settler-colonies (Victoria, Australia and the Cape Colony, South Africa) and its instrumental role in the exportation of Christianity, capitalism, and modernity, thus adding new depth to our understanding of imperial power and of the ways in which it was exercised and limited. All those intrigued by the concept of time will find this book of interest, for it illustrates how western-European time’s rise to a position of global dominance—from the clock to the seven-day week—is one of the most pervasive, enduring and taken-for-granted legacies of colonisation in today’s world.

Download or read book The Portable Bunyan written by Isabel Hofmeyr and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a book become an international bestseller? What happens to it as it is translated into different languages, contexts, and societies? How is it changed by the intellectual environments it encounters? What does the transnational circulation mean for its reception back home? Exploring the international life of a particularly long-lived and widely traveled book, Isabel Hofmeyr follows The Pilgrim's Progress as it circulates through multiple contexts--and into some 200 languages--focusing on Africa, where 80 of the translations occurred. This feat of literary history is based on intensive research that criss-crossed among London, Georgia, Kingston, Bedford (John Bunyan's hometown), and much of sub-Saharan Africa. Finely written and unusually wide-ranging, it accounts for how The Pilgrim's Progress traveled abroad with the Protestant mission movement, was adapted and reworked by the societies into which it traveled, and, finally, how its circulation throughout the empire affected Bunyan's standing back in England. The result is a new intellectual approach to Bunyan--one that weaves together British, African, and Caribbean history with literary and translation studies and debates over African Christianity and mission. Even more important, this book is a rare example of a truly worldly study of "world literature"--and of the critical importance of translation, both linguistic and cultural.

Download or read book Lahlekile written by Doreen Merle Foster and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The South African nursing experience over 90 years has been adequately documented and may be found on the shelves of public libraries, university libraries and hospital libraries as well as between the pages of "struggle literature" such as Critical Health. This book does not attempt academic analysis per se, rather is it an authentic oral and written account of the experiences, which shaped the careers of black nurses. The sample of respondents was picked at random across the country, as time and private purse allowed. They were assured anonymity in that only first or nicknames would be used as a rule, except where a surname carries historical significance. In 1994, when the winds of changes blew democracy across the political landscape, the South African nursing profession too was gusted along the road of revolution. It was no longer a question of whether change would come, but when. Nonceba Lubanga in her chapter "Nursing in South Africa" has been given a detailed account of the struggle of black nurses, referring to them as "the unsung heroes of the African struggle in South Africa."--P. [4] of cover.

Download or read book South African Literary Cultural Nationalism—Abalobi beSizwe eMzansi—1918-45 written by Nicholas M. Creary and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an intellectual history that uses Amílcar Cabral’s theory of the “return to the source,” to examine Sol Plaatje’s Mhudi, B.W. Vilakazi’s poetry, and A.C. Jordan’s The Wrath of the Ancestors within the broader context of African cultural nationalisms in the early twentieth century African Atlantic World. It shows the development of the idea of African equality with Whites in the face of prevailing ideas of White supremacy during Union-era South Africa. These authors were part of the New African Movement, which was one of eight literary movements among Africans and peoples of African descent in the Americas between 1915 and 1945, including the Harlem Renaissance, Négritude, Claridade in Cape Verde, and similar movements in Cuba, Haiti, Brazil, and Belize. The text presents new models for interpreting Union-era African literature, and recasts understanding of the nature of interactions between Africans and Europeans, including Western Syphilization, Chiral Interdiscursivity, and the relationship between history and memory informed by a neurobiological analysis of memory.
