Sinopse

Railway Expansion explores the complex history of railway construction in Africa during the colonial era, revealing its profound impact on economics, labor, and geopolitics.The book argues that while railways were intended to facilitate resource extraction and trade, their construction involved widespread forced labor and perpetuated colonial power structures.One might be surprised to learn the extent to which railways reshaped African societies, influencing urbanization and exacerbating existing inequalities.The book uniquely examines both the intended economic benefits and the unintended social consequences of railway expansion.It progresses by first establishing the economic motivations, then confronting the realities of forced labor, and finally analyzing the reshaping of African societies.By integrating economic analysis with social and political history, Railway Expansion provides a holistic understanding of the railway's lasting impact and its relevance to contemporary development challenges, neocolonialism, and sustainability.

Spellbound - My Life as a...

Phil Hanley

“Hanley’s dyslexia makes this audio format especially significant, as it represents an accessible way for readers with learning disabilities, just like him, to comprehend and enjoy his story.”—Booklist This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
