Beschreibung

Desert Tales Sing explores the fascinating intersection of Khoisan oral history, responsible tourism, and cultural preservation in Southern Africa. It examines how carefully designed travel experiences can help safeguard the traditions of the Khoisan people, whose culture is primarily transmitted through oral narratives. Centuries of marginalization have threatened their languages and customs, making cultural preservation a vital undertaking. The book argues that tourism, when ethically structured, can provide economic incentives and platforms for cultural exchange, empowering local communities to share their stories and revitalize their heritage.

 
The book unfolds in three parts. It first introduces the diverse Khoisan groups and their oral traditions. Secondly, it examines the ethical considerations of tourism within indigenous communities, using oral history interviews as primary evidence. Finally, it proposes a model for responsible Khoisan tourism. 

 
The book emphasizes the agency of Khoisan communities in shaping tourism experiences, advocating for a shift from passive consumption to active engagement.

Tangled in Terror - Uprooting...

Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan

'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem 
Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs. 
In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does. 
Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.

The House of Awadh - A Hidden...

Aletta André, Abhimanyu Kumar

In Delhi's Ridge Forest lies Malcha Mahal, which was home to a family cloaked in mystery: Begum Wilayat Mahal and her children, Princess Sakina and Prince Ali Raza-self-proclaimed descendants of the House of Awadh. From their dramatic arrival at New Delhi Railway Station in 1975, where they squatted for a decade, to their last years in a decaying monument-their story weaves together colonial injustices, Partition's upheaval and modern India's struggles with identity. 
Were they true heirs to a lost kingdom, delusional outcasts, or cunning impostors? Drawing on cross-border reportage, archives and intimate interviews, Aletta Andre and Abhimanyu Kumar explore the family's audacious claims as they bring to life an ambitious woman and her sensitive children. They also present a new account of the tragedy of Awadh and its slow ruin, as well as that of India-Pakistan relations from Independence to the present. Gripping and compelling, The House of Awadh is an unputdownable blend of history and memory.
