Learning to Lead for Transformation

An African Perspective on Educational Leadership

By: Emmanuel Ngara

Learning to Lead for Transformation takes an international and inclusive approach, exploring learning and educational leadership from different cultural and theoretical perspectives, from Habermas' theory of cognitive interests to Freire's approach to education and Ngara's decolonized epistemology and Ubuntu-based developmental approach. Enriching his presentation with Japanese and Western examples, Ngara uses the African tradition of storytelling as well as engaging exercises to explore: - The developmental approach to teaching and learning - The link between the proposed pedagogy and leadership development - The importance of relevant curriculum content - The importance of approaches based on indigenous knowledge systems or cultural traditions. Each topic is introduced with a “tuning in exercise”, and the reader is guided to reflect on their own experiences and understanding throughout the book with discussion points and activities.

From Kathmandu to Kilimanjaro

A Mother-Daughter Memoir

By: Margaret Elizabeth Lovett Wilson,Sylvie Wilson Emmanuel

Margaret (Peggy) Wilson, born in England in 1897, was the model of the new woman, serving as a medical volunteer during World War I, and later going to medical school to become a doctor of tropical diseases. In 1926, Peggy traveled to Kathmandu, and four years later married her friend from medical school who was on assignment with the British Colonial Medical Service in Tanganyika (modern-day Tanzania). Peggy and Donald spent the next 30 years working side-by-side on malaria research and public health, winning multiple awards in the process. Peggy's daughter Sylvie, born in 1935, recalls World War II in Tanganyika and Kenya, boarding school, and university at Cambridge. After university, Sylvie returned home to teach and married a Greek Tanganyikan farmer. They welcomed independence and the nation of Tanzania, yet struggled under the impacts it had for expats. While most of the Greek community left Tanzania, Sylvie and her husband persisted on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, participating in building new Tanzania. Drawn from Peggy's unpublished memoir and the letters, diaries and photographs that Sylvie meticulously collected, this inspiring mother-daughter memoir spans three continents and a century of travel, love, defiance, wars, medical research, and revolutions.

Zimbabwean Literature in African Languages

Crossing Language Boundaries

By: Emmanuel Chiwome,Zifikile Mguni

The scope of this book is Ndebele and Shona literature, with emphasis on post-independence publications. African literature in English has received more critical attention than literature in indigenous languages. The former has occupied centre stage as representing national literature, while modern literature in indigenous languages= occupies the intermediate lower stratum that is accorded to national languages in the colonial and post= independence eras. The objective of the study is to combine some of the different genres of literature in indigenous languages in an attempt to understand them on the basis of their common history and culture. While colonialism has promoted and interpreted differences among Zimbabwean ethnic communities as evidence of polarisation, the authors here view African language literatures as parts of one great whole.

Energy Law in Uganda

By: Emmanuel B. Kasimbazi

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides a systematic approach to legislation and legal practice concerning energy resources and production in Uganda. The book describes the administrative organization, regulatory framework, and relevant case law pertaining to the development, application, and use of such forms of energy as electricity, gas, petroleum, and coal, with attention as needed to the pervasive legal effects of competition law, environmental law, and tax law. A general introduction covers the geography of energy resources, sources and basic principles of energy law, and the relevant governmental institutions. Then follows a detailed description of specific legislation and regulation affecting such factors as documentation, undertakings, facilities, storage, pricing, procurement and sales, transportation, transmission, distribution, and supply of each form of energy. Case law, intergovernmental cooperation agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and competition law are explained. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for energy sector policymakers and energy firm counsel handling cases affecting Uganda. It will also be welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to the study of a complex field that today stands at the foreground of comparative law.

Rwanda, Blood Everywhere and Beyond

By: Emmanuel Ngiruwonsanga

Rwanda, this small country located in the center of Africa, was filled with human blood in 1994. Extremist Rwandans killed about 1 million people in only one hundred days, about 3 million fled Rwanda into exile in Democratic Republic of Congo ( ex-Zaire) where they would be killed by the Rwandan Patriotic Army from 1996 until 1998. This book is about a testimony of two boys who survived these massacres in which they had lost both their parents who were killed in the forests of the Congo. The older boy, 7 years old at that time, had to take care of his little brother, a newborn whose mother was killed only a couple hours after his birth. Miraculously, they both traveled the entire country of the Congo and came back to Rwanda. Once in their home country of Rwanda, in their own home village, the neighbours, who wanted to keep their inheritance, accused them of committing genocide in 1994. But at the time of this heinous crime, the older brother was only 5 years old, and his little brother was not born yet. To survive the attacks, harassment, and terror of these neighbours, ancient refugees from Uganda, they became "street kids" where I met them.

Little Boys Come from the Stars

By: Emmanuel Dongala

The peculiar and moving story of a Congolese boy's coming-of-age amid the political strife of postcolonial Congo His nickname is Matapari, which means "trouble." He is an African child of the '90s--brilliant, mischievous, postcolonial, postmodern-caught in the crossfire of a chaotically liberated African country. Matapari grows up in a world of talking drums, the Internet, and satellite TV, a world of dictators who remake themselves as democrats overnight. His uncle is a stooge for the dictator; his father is a scholarly recluse obsessed with proving that blacks played key roles in Western history. Matapari is a young man in the middle--but the shrewdness and wit with which he tells his often riotously funny story set him apart from his relatives and countrymen. Emmanuel Dongala uses the ingenious viewpoint of a child to show up the telltale world of adults--and to show how one preserves one's independence in a corrupt and violent society.

Johnny Mad Dog

A Novel

By: Emmanuel Dongala

Life During Wartime, As Seen Through the Eyes of Two Congolese Teenagers Set amid the chaos of West Africa's civil wars, Emmanuel Dongala's striking novel tells the story of two teenagers growing up while rival ethnic groups fight for control of their country. At age sixteen, Johnny is a member of the Death Dealers, a rebel faction bent on seizing power. Even as he is drawn into the rebels' program of terror, Johnny Mad Dog, as he calls himself, retains his youthful exuberance--searching for girls, good times, and adventure. Sixteen-year-old Laokolé, for her part, dreams of finishing high school and becoming an engineer, but as rogue militias prepare to sack the city, she is forced to leave home with her mother and brother--and then finds herself alone and running from the likes of Johnny. Acclaimed in France, Johnny Mad Dog is a coming-of-age story like no other; Dongala's masterful use of dual narrators makes the novel an unusually vivid and affecting tale of the struggle to survive--and to retain one's humanity--in terrifying times.

Kisanga

By: Emmanuel Grand

Joli coup pour Carmin. Le fleuron minier français signe un partenariat historique avec la Chine afin d’exploiter un exceptionnel gisement de cuivre au Congo. Annoncé en grande pompe par les gouvernements respectifs, soutenu par les banquiers d’affaires, le projet Kisanga doit être inauguré dans trois mois. Un délai bien trop court pour Olivier Martel, l’ingénieur dépêché sur place pour le piloter, mais en principe suffisant pour les barbouzes chargées de retrouver un dossier secret susceptible de faire capoter toute l’opération s’il tombait entre de mauvaises mains. Celles de Raphaël Da Costa par exemple, un journaliste qui s’est déjà frotté par le passé à Carmin et aux zones grises du pouvoir. Trois mois, le temps d’une course-poursuite haletante au coeur de la savane katangaise et sur les pistes brûlantes du Kivu, pour découvrir ce que dissimule le nom si prometteur de Kisanga. Du suspense, du rythme et un réalisme redoutable irriguent ce thriller implacable sur les nouveaux jeux d’influence en Afrique.

Feeble Voices in Theology. Addressing Issues Through the Cameroonian Voice

By: Emmanuel Wayi

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: 2.0, , course: Biblical Theology, language: English, abstract: This is an attempt to address various theological issues from the perspective of Cameroon and for the benefit of students in bible schools and minor seminaries. The book handles certain topics as chosen by the author and it is an attempt to diagnose texts and themes related to the contextual surroundings of Cameroon in particular and why not Africa as a whole. It is born from a series of researches done over a year on specific topics asked for by the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Kumba, Cameroon which is the center for contextual studies in Central Africa. How do you tell the local Cameroonian that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life unless you first of all understand it academically? Is the cross a new kind of a portent charm or is it just a sign as those understood within the Africa context?
