Sinopsis

African Independence explores the complex history of decolonization in Africa during the 20th century. It examines how African nations fought to break free from colonial rule and establish their own identities. The book highlights the diverse movements and leaders involved, such as Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela, while analyzing the challenges of nation-building.

 
One intriguing fact is how the Scramble for Africa at the Berlin Conference set the stage for many of the struggles these independence movements faced. Another key insight is the role of Pan-Africanism in uniting and inspiring movements across the continent.

 
The book takes a chronological and thematic approach, starting with the colonial era and the rise of nationalist movements. It then progresses through the different paths to independence taken by various African nations, grouped by colonial power and regional similarities. Subsequent chapters address the hurdles of state-building, economic development, and social divisions.

 
The book uses primary sources, like speeches, and secondary scholarship to present a balanced view of the triumphs and setbacks during this period. It emphasizes that decolonization was a long process of negotiation, resistance, and transformation, crucial for understanding contemporary African realities.

A Teachers Quest 20 - Serving...

Brian L Murphy

Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.

Elizabethan Eras The: The Lives...

Editors Charles River

Until the implementation of new legislation on March 26, 2015, men were given preference to women in the British royal line. This system of male primogeniture meant that women seldom inherited the throne, and even when they did, they were often dominated by male councillors. Those women who married British kings gained the title of Queen, but they were queen consorts, holding the title with no power. This meant only a select few women ruled in their own right.
When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, many commentators heralded the beginning of her reign as the second Elizabethan age. The first one, of course, concerned the reign of Henry VIII’s second surviving daughter and middle surviving child, Queen Elizabeth I, one of England’s most famous and influential rulers. It was an age when the arts, commerce and trade flourished. It was the epoch of gallantry and great, enduring literature. It was also an age of wars and military conflicts in which men were the primary drivers and women often were pawns.
Elizabeth I changed the rules of the game and indeed she herself was changed by the game. She was a female monarch of England, a kingdom that had unceremoniously broken with the Catholic Church, and the Vatican and the rest of Christendom was baying for her blood. She had had commercial and militaristic enemies galore. In the end, she helped change the entire structure of female leadership.
Queen Elizabeth II has become so much a part of British society and culture that her presence is taken almost for granted, setting the standard people now expect of a British monarch. The longest lived and second longest reigning monarch in British history, Elizabeth II has overseen her country during a time of incredible turmoil and ever-accelerating change, providing a stable figure at the heart of a nation going through seemingly endless upheavals.
