Sinossi

Embark on an enlightening journey through modern Africa, a continent that has undergone a remarkable transformation since the 1930s. This comprehensive book delves into the complexities of Africa's recent past, exploring the triumphs and tribulations, the hopes and aspirations of its people.

In the first half of the 20th century, Africa faced the rise of nationalism and the struggle for independence from colonial rule. The book chronicles the arduous journey towards self-determination, highlighting the armed resistance, diplomatic negotiations, and the unwavering determination of African leaders.

The early years of independence brought both opportunities and challenges. Newly independent nations grappled with nation-building, economic development, and social transformation. The Cold War and the Non-Aligned Movement shaped international relations, while Pan-Africanism emerged as a powerful force for unity and cooperation.

The African Renaissance, a period of renewed hope and progress, began in the 1990s. Economic reforms, democratic transitions, and cultural revival marked this era. The African Union was formed, symbolizing the continent's commitment to unity and integration.

Despite significant progress, Africa continues to face challenges. Poverty, inequality, and political instability persist in many regions. The impact of climate change is also a growing concern. Yet, amidst these challenges, there is a sense of resilience and determination among Africans.

The book concludes with a look at the future of Africa. It explores the continent's potential, the challenges it must overcome, and the role it can play in the 21st century. Africa's youth, its vibrant culture, and its abundant natural resources are all sources of hope for a brighter future.

Through a captivating narrative and insightful analysis, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of modern Africa, its history, its people, and its aspirations. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper appreciation for this dynamic and ever-changing continent.

    GOLD WINNER OF 'BEST NARRATOR' AT THE AUDIO PRODUCTION AWARDS. 'This guy has better Punjabi than both of us and he's only half Punjabi.' Only. Half. I stared at those words. The intent behind the comment was in no way malicious, but it hurt. I felt diminished. I felt like I was being robbed of something essential to me. And as I stared at my screen, realisation dawned. '#bothnothalf' I replied. For over twenty-five years, actor Jassa Ahluwalia described himself as 'half Indian, half English'. His fluent Punjabi always prompted bewilderment, medical staff questioned the legitimacy of his name, and the world of casting taught him he wasn't 'the right kind of mixed-race'. Feeling caught between two worlds, it wasn't long before Jassa embarked on a call to action: we need to change how we think and talk about mixed identity. By delving into the media we grew up consuming and the legacies of empire we have been taught, Ahluwalia asks: is there anything to be learnt from Rudyard Kipling? Why were movie stars urged to hide their mixed identities? To what extent did colonialism encourage or hinder mixed marriages? Is nationalism outdated? How can the politics of class and queer liberation inform our understanding of mixed identity? Both Not Half is a rallying cry for a new and inclusive future. It's a journey of self-discovery that unearths the historical roots of modern mixed identity as we know it, braving to deconstruct the binaries we have inherited and the narratives we passively accept. Part-memoir, part-manifesto: this is a campaign for belonging in a divided world.This immersive audiobook includes exclusive audio clips from Jassa 's Ted Talk, original audio from self-tapes, a bonus conversation with his sister Ramanique Ahluwalia, and much more.

    Thinking Historically - A Guide...

    It seems obvious that we should use history to improve policy. If we have a good understanding of the past, it should enable better decisions in the present, especially in the extraordinarily consequential worlds of statecraft and strategy. But how do we gain that knowledge? How should history be used? Sadly, it is rarely done well, and historians and decision-makers seldom interact. But in this remarkable book, Francis J. Gavin explains the many ways historical knowledge can help us understand and navigate the complex, often confusing world around us. Good historical work convincingly captures the challenges and complexities the decisionmaker faces. At its most useful, history is less a narrowly defined field of study than a practice, a mental awareness, a discernment, and a responsiveness to the past and how it unfolded into our present world—a discipline in the best sense of the word. Gavin demonstrates how a historical sensibility helps us to appreciate the unexpected; complicates our assumptions; makes the unfamiliar familiar and the familiar unfamiliar; and requires us, without entirely suspending moral judgment, to try to understand others on their own terms. This book is a powerful argument for thinking historically as a way for listeners to apply wisdom in encountering what is foreign to them.
