Stand-up Comedy in Africa - Humour in Popular Languages and Media

Synopsis

African cultural productions of humour have increased even in the face of myriad economic foibles and social upheavals. For instance, from the 1990s, stand-up comedy emerged across the continent and has maintained a pervasive presence since then. Its specificities are related to contemporary economic and political contexts and are also drawn from its pre-colonial history, that of joking forms and relationships, and orality. Izuu Nwankwọ's fascinating collected volume offers a transnational appraisal of this unique art form spanning different nations of the continent and its diasporas. The book engages variously with jokesters, their materials, the mediums of dissemination, and the cultural value(s) and relevance of their stage work, encompassing the form and content of the practice. Its ruling theoretical perspective comes from theatre and performance, cultural studies, linguistics, and literary studies.

    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
    existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
    history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
    The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
    have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
    The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
    selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
    microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
    Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
    and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
    diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

    Offers a philosophical perspective on the nature and value of writing a memoir. 
      
    Artful Truths offers a concise guide to the fundamental philosophical questions that arise when writing a literary work about your own life. Bringing a philosopher’s perspective to a general audience, Helena de Bres addresses what a memoir is, how the genre relates to fiction, memoirists’ responsibilities to their readers and subjects, and the question of why to write a memoir at all. Along the way, she delves into a wide range of philosophical issues, including the nature of the self, the limits of knowledge, the idea of truth, the obligations of friendship, the relationship between morality and art, and the question of what makes a life meaningful. 
      
    Written in a clear and conversational style, it offers a resource for those who write, teach, and study memoirs, as well as those who love to read them. With a combination of literary and philosophical knowledge, de Bres takes the many challenges directed at memoirists seriously, while ultimately standing in defense of a genre that, for all its perplexities—and maybe partly because of them—continually proves to be both beloved and valuable.

    “The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.” So said journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. 
    Had she said this about any other race, it is unlikely that she would ever have found employment with a mainstream media outlet. Yet not only was Nikole Hannah-Jones hired by The New York Times; she received the coveted Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the 1619 project which also defames white people. 
    Why is it that such hateful rhetoric is no barrier to employment at The New York Times, whilst criticism of any other racial group would have you fired in a New York minute? Why is Critical Race Theory and its defamation of white people and their societies seeping into every corner of education, the media, and the corporate world? 
    These and other questions need answers because Western civilisation in Australia and elsewhere is facing an existential threat. Anglophobia The Unrecognised Hatred analyses and articulates the root causes of this pervasive anti-white hatred. 
    The book is a systematic rejection of the hypocritical notion that racism is acceptable – so long as it is only directed at white men, women and children.
