Sinossi

Igbo Heritage explores the rich and complex history of the Igbo people of Nigeria, offering a vital look into pre-colonial African societies. Challenging conventional narratives, the book reveals a sophisticated civilization characterized by decentralized governance, thriving trade networks, and profound cultural traditions. The Igbo people, through autonomous village communities and age-grade associations, fostered participatory decision-making, a model starkly different from centralized statehood. Readers will discover how Igbo trade networks spurred economic prosperity and cultural exchange, contributing significantly to Nigeria's diverse cultural landscape.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing historical accounts, anthropological studies, archaeological findings, and oral traditions. It meticulously traces the origins and migrations of the Igbo people, delving into their unique political organization and economic practices. Igbo Heritage further examines Igbo culture, including religious beliefs, artistic expressions, and kinship systems. By focusing on the agency and resilience of the Igbo people, the book provides a nuanced understanding of their contributions to Nigerian society and their enduring legacy.

 
Beginning with the historical and geographical context of Igboland, the book progresses through examinations of Igbo political organization, economic life, and cultural practices. It culminates in an analysis of the impact of colonialism and the subsequent struggles for independence, demonstrating how pre-colonial structures shaped post-colonial experiences. This comprehensive approach makes Igbo Heritage a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, Nigerian studies, and the cultural diversity of the world.

    Read by the author, Dragged Up Proppa is the story of growing up working class in a forgotten England.'Very compelling, beautifully written memoir of a time and England that no longer exists but remains just as important today as ever' – Sebastian Payne, author of Broken HeartlandsPip Fallow was born in the coal-miner’s cottage where his family of eight lived, in a village near Durham. Pip was destined to join his father down the pit, but the closure of his village’s mine in the 1980s saw him at the back of the dole queue like the rest. This is Pip’s story of being ‘dragged up proppa’, living by his wits, working and travelling the world – before finally settling a few miles from where he grew up.A lot has been written about the red wall in recent years, but Pip Fallow has lived it. This is his account of some of the most important issues affecting Britain today – from levelling-up and the north-south divide, to social mobility and class, and the devastating social upheaval caused by decades of deindustrialization and government neglect. He shows how broken promises of the past impact his village and the politics of today.This is the memoir of a man who left school illiterate, but has now written a book. The story of a lost generation who were prepared for a life that had disappeared by the time they were ready for it, of communities with once strong social ties that have now disintegrated, and a way of living that simply no longer exists in Britain today.'Fallow's memoir is not just a classic piece of working-class writing, but a truly gripping narrative' – Brian Groom, author of Northerners: A History

    It's SLAVERY all over again! The New Slavemasters that are destroying hopes and dreams in families and relationships are even more threatening than their whip-wielding predecessors. These new Slavemasters’ evil-rooted forces – drugs, gangs, violence, racism, materialism, deception, teen pregnancy, and sexual promiscuity – still WALK AND LIVE AMONG US. 
    Nearly two centuries ago, Satan used mankind’s deeply rooted sin that resulted in humanity enslaving a race of God’s creation—African-Americans. In this new day when African-Americans enjoy complete freedom, there are new, insidious Slavemasters that work outside civilized law and labor to ensnare black families —and for that matter, families of all races. 
    This book provides a blueprint for restoration and strengthening of African American families. The term, The New Slavemasters, comes from my experiences of present-day enslavement of prevailing temptations and devastation of plagues that wrought the inner city suburbs in my community, resulting in self-imposed slavery and family destruction. When Christians [born-again] and non-Christians fail to recognize the bondage and break the chains that destroy our entire nation, they lose their freedom and volunteer to re-enter into forms of slavery. 
    This entire book helps give awareness of how to break free from and remain free of The New Slavemasters. Reader’s Study Guide, Chapter notes, questions and answers, true stories and illustrations are inserted to support and encourage Bible-study groups, scriptural understanding, and prayer devotions against the assault of the new Slavemasters. 
    The book begins with a mother trying desperately to save her son’s life that was impacted by drugs and “dirty” (drug) money. But, in the endless struggle to free her son from these new Slavemasters’ hold on him, tragedy occurs – he dies before her very eyes.

    What do the Greek myths mean to us today? 
     
    It’s now a golden age for these tales – they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what’s the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what’s to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled? 
    Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes – stunning and spoiled – on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the ‘most beautiful beach in Greece’, consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land.
