Sinossi

'KWANTU MEANS HOME'
For decades, African spirituality has been demonised or met with suspicion. Many people find themselves at a crossroads that has them questioning their religious upbringing while trying to understand their place within African spiritual practice. There are those who have to choose between being a believer, usually in the Christian faith, or believing in their ancestors. As the cultural trajectory of the world shifts, more people desire a deeper understanding of ancestral practices, their history and their relevance to modern life.
Journey Kwantu is inspired by Vusumzi Ngxande's popular podcast of the same name that delves into South African spiritual identity, showing how it has evolved over hundreds of years. The book is rooted in extensive historical research, lived experiences and interviews with healers, teachers and ordinary people trying to live their truth.
With a unique ability to simplify complex issues, the author endeavours to answer taboo questions like, 'Who are we?' and 'How did we come to believe what we believe?' In the process, he deals with challenges he has struggled with on his own spiritual journey, from death, the afterlife and the authority of ancestors versus the power of God, to more practical matters like performing rituals in urban areas and understanding lineage and its impact on one's spiritual life.
Deeply perceptive and engaging, Journey Kwantu offers guidance and sustenance to African believers.

Trae and Corey will take you from the smallest of small towns to major US metropolises (or is it metropoli? We haven't a fartin' clue!). They'll even cross the pond to sip tea in some of them fancy kings-and-castles places that PBS Viewers Like You can't stop yapping about. From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotland—no matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans. Even the most outrageous of us. 
In this book you'll find:Loads of eccentric things folks say.Seriously well-informed tips on exactly where to eat and what to order in each city.Anecdotes from Corey about everything from "German Mardi Gras" in Helen, Georgia, to eatin' over-priced rabbit in Napa, California.And as many off-the-beaten-path jokes as could be packed in! 
  
Perfect for anyone who:Likes to travel.Loathes to travel.Any Southerner who's both a little proud and a little ashamed of the South (that's all the sane ones).Any Northerner, Midwesterner, or West Coaster who wants to know what two self-proclaimed rednecks have to say about their own hometown.Anyone from the UK who thinks us Yanks are the craziest folks on God's green earth (cause this book will likely confirm that stereotype, yup).

    Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom 
 
 
 
Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. 
 
 
 
This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the "Bakken Boom." While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.
