Obroni and the Chocolate Factory - An Unlikely Story of Globalization and Ghana's First Gourmet Chocolate Bar

Steven Wallace

Sinossi

A quixotic adventure narrative of an American businessman setting out, with little know-how and only a basic understanding of the country, to create Ghana's first-ever single-source chocolate bar and build the Omanhene Cocoa Company.
A fascinating and often bemusing David and Goliath story as Steven Wallace takes on the cocoa industry giants, politics and global trade bureaucracy, and the paradoxical and often frustrating daily experience of the Ghanaian government and manages to succeed by the skin of his teeth.
Taps into timely and major topics like globalism, development and philanthropy in Africa, the secretive worlds of big cocoa and chocolate, as well as fair trade and how companies like Amazon and Whole Foods have changed how businesses have to work to get a piece of the market.
Steven and Omanhene have appeared in several books as well as newspaper and magazine articles. Omanhene held popup kitchen featuring its chocolate during New York's Fashion Week, and Steven conceived signature desserts for a UN gala held in honor of Sharon Patrick, CEO of Martha Steward Living. He has given a TED talk on his experiences.
Cowritten by William Madison, who is a former producer at CBS News and who collaborated with Dan Rather on four books.

The Pirate's Dilemma - How Youth...

Matt Mason

It started with punk. Hip-hop, rave, graffiti, and gaming took it to another level, and now modern technology has made the ideas and innovations of youth culture increasingly intimate and increasingly global at the same time. In The Pirate's Dilemma, VICE magazine's Matt Mason -- poised to become the Malcolm Gladwell of the iPod Generation -- brings the exuberance of a passionate music fan and the technological savvy of an IT wizard to the task of sorting through the changes brought about by the interface of pop culture and innovation. He charts the rise of various youth movements -- from pirate radio to remix culture -- and tracks their ripple effect throughout larger society. Mason brings a passion and a breadth of intelligence to questions such as the following: How did a male model who messed with disco records in the 1970s influence the way Boeing designs airplanes? Who was the nun who invented dance music, and how is her influence undermining capitalism as we know it? Did three high school kids who remixed Nazis into Smurfs in the 1980s change the future of the video game industry? Can hip-hop really bring about world peace? Each chapter crystallizes the idea behind one of these fringe movements and shows how it combined with technology to subvert old hierarchies and empower the individual. With great wit and insight -- and a cast of characters that includes such icons as the Ramones, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Russell Simmons, and 50 Cent -- Mason uncovers the trends that have transformed countercultural scenes into burgeoning global industries and movements, ultimately changing our way of life.
