Integral Knowledge Creation and Innovation

Empowering Knowledge Communities

By: Elizabeth Mamukwa

This work focuses on the creation of new knowledge, and how this has happened throughout all ages, as far back as the time of ancient philosophy to today. A product of integral research, it covers the process of creating new knowledge, leveraging existing knowledge, sometimes resulting in cutthroat innovations. It also includes knowledge systems such as conventional university systems to Mode 2 university concepts, culminating on integral research to innovation. This book will help the reader to realise that the subject of knowledge creation is no longer business as usual. Many innovations have been created for human benefit in general, but such innovations may have benefited only parts of society. The challenge in the world is that, while new innovations may be brilliant, there are sections of society who continue to slip into poverty. Modern innovators must also consider such communities and come up with appropriate interventions. This book will open the eyes of innovators to new possibilities. In addition, the subject of knowledge should not be an elitist affair. One may stand to gain a lot by seeing the knowledge in other people, whatever their station in life. This realisation can enable serious innovators to widen their scope in terms of the sources of existing knowledge which can be improved and reassessed as new knowledge. Such existing knowledge can be identified by engaging the very communities that may be affected by a problem or challenge. Such communities will have had time to interrogate their situations and think of possible solutions to such, though they might not have the economic capacity to implement such solutions. This is always a useful starting point if one is seeking a solution to a community problem. This book will be useful to students interested in the subject of knowledge and innovation, from under-graduate to PhD level. It will also benefit captains of industry, executives and managers who are interested in improving their knowledge improvement cycles in their companies.

I Am a Girl from Africa

A Memoir of Empowerment, Community, and Hope

By: Elizabeth Nyamayaro

When severe draught hit her village in Zimbabwe, Elizabeth, then eight, had no idea that this moment of utter devastation would come to define her life purpose. Unable to move from hunger, she encountered a United Nations aid worker who gave her a bowl of warm porridge and saved her life. This transformative moment inspired Elizabeth to become a humanitarian, and she vowed to dedicate her life to giving back to her community, her continent, and the world. Grounded by the African concept of ubuntu--"I am because we are"--I Am a Girl from Africa charts Elizabeth's quest in pursuit of her dream from the small village of Goromonzi to Harare, London, New York, and beyond, where she eventually became a Senior Advisor at the United Nations and launched HeForShe, one of the world's largest global solidarity movements for gender equality. For over two decades, Elizabeth has been instrumental in creating change in communities all around the world; uplifting the lives of others, just as her life was once uplifted. The memoir brings to vivid life one extraordinary woman's story of persevering through incredible odds and finding her true calling--while delivering an important message of hope and empowerment in a time when we need it most"--

Queen Mother

The Remarkable Life Story of Rebecca Zirimbuga Musoke

By: Elizabeth Musoke Mubiru MD FACOG

Rebecca Zirimbuga Musoke, nee Kisosonkole, was born into a life of privilege in an age-old African kingdom steeped in tradition. Times changed when the kingdom was swallowed up by the British Empire and later absorbed into an independent African country. The kingdom strove to maintain its identity through the turbulence of political coups and savage regimes bent on annihilating it. As Rebecca guided her young family through the perilous times, she held onto her faith that someday the kingdom would be restored and life would return to normal. It came as a surprise to her when her cousin, the queen mother, passed away and Rebecca was named her heir. After many years of bloodshed, times did change and the kingdom was restored. When duty called, Rebecca rose to the challenge of becoming: The Mother of the Kingdom of Buganda (Namasole)!

Waiting for the Sunrise

One Family's Struggle Against Genocide and Racism

By: Elizabeth Gatorano

This is a personal account of an interracial familys struggle against pervasive racism in the U.S. and the horrors of the civil war that plagued Rwanda in 1994. Raised in the American Midwest, author Elizabeth Gatorano, who is White, had no idea of the trials she would face after marrying Phanuel, who is Black and an immigrant to the U.S. from Rwanda. Prejudice against their marriage followed them and their children wherever they went, often making them the focus of racist discrimination and threats of violence at home and at work. Throughout these ordeals, Liz and Phanuel responded to hostility with love and patience, their faith in each other and in God remaining unshakable, even in the darkest hours. Together, they overcame all obstacles in their path, and they continue to help those in need today.
