The Urban Question in Africa

Uneven Geographies of Transition

By: Pádraig Carmody,James T. Murphy,Francis Owusu,Richard Grant

Illuminates the path to more generative urban transitions in Africa's cities and developing rural areas Africa is the world's most rapidly urbanizing region. The predominantly rural continent is currently undergoing an “urban revolution” unlike any other, generally taking place without industrialization and often characterized by polarization, poverty, and fragmentation. While many cities have experienced construction booms and real estate speculation, others are marked by expanding informal economies and imploding infrastructures. The Urban Question in Africa: Uneven Geographies of Transition examines the imbalanced and contested nature of the ongoing urban transition of Africa. Edited and authored by leading experts on the subject, this unique volume develops an original theory conceptualizing cities as sociotechnical systems constituted by production, consumption, and infrastructure regimes. Throughout the book, in-depth chapters address the impacts of current meta-trends—global geopolitical shifts, economic changes, the climate crisis, and others—on Africa's cities and the broader development of the continent. Presents a novel framework based on extensive fieldwork in multiple countries and regions of the continent Examines geopolitical and socioeconomic topics such as manufacturing in African cities, the green economy in Africa, and the impact of China on urban Africa Discusses the prospects for generative urbanism to produce and sustain long-term development in Africa Features high-quality maps, illustrations, and photographs The Urban Question in Africa: Uneven Geographies of Transition is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in geography, urban planning, and African studies, academic researchers, geographers, urban planners, and policymakers.

Research Writing Made Easy: A Guide for Tertiary Students

By: Gabriel Dwomoh,Francis Boadu

Document from the year 2014 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, , course: Resarch Methods, language: English, abstract: The book titled “Research Writing made easy-A guide book for tertiary students is designed as an introduction to research methods, primarily for students in tertiary institutions in Ghana and across the borders of Ghana. It should also be useful to students in the fields of applied psychology, sociology and business related fields who write thesis and dissertation as part of their course work. Our aim is to give the students and readers a flavour of the excitement and the pitfalls of carrying out research, and a basic appreciation of a range of methods commonly used in research. The book incorporates a number of features intended to assist the novice researcher. The objectives of each chapter are set out at the beginning, the key features of the research methods are summarized and extended examples of how to apply a variety of research methods are also provided. In this book we have sought to combine the advantages of drawing on specialist input for each chapter while maintaining coherence across chapters. As editors we have co-authored each chapter to ensure that the book as a whole provides coherent coverage of research methods, with continuity of style and terminology, and no duplication or inconsistency. At the same time, so that each chapter benefits from the authority and experience of experts, In addition to their academic training, all these authors have carried out research in a variety academic disciplines and reported their studies in high quality peer-reviewed journals. The content of the book is such that it contains all the compulsory areas such as introduction, literature review, methodology, data analysis and discussion as well as summary, conclusions and recommendations when writing a thesis or dissertation and as such it is difficult for the book to be affected by trend changes. It is therefore recommended to all students in tertiary institutions who are writing their dissertations.

Swallowed Up in God

The Best of Francis Asbury's Journal and Letters

By: Matt Friedeman

Francis Asbury was an American hero. Actually, he was a British subject, who lived his adult life in America, and became a hero to the vast majority of those he served and of many contemporary evangelicals who have read and pondered his impact on history. British or not, when you think of Asbury, it is difficult to see him as any less than “American hero.” But he was more. He was a Kingdom hero; America was the land of many lost, Asbury came by assignment and stayed while others fainted, faltered, found more comfortable refuge and flew back home to England.It is said of him that he “changed American popular religion – and by extension American culture – as much as anyone ever has. America is one of the most religious nations on earth, and Asbury is an important reason why.Concerning the personal journal of Francis Asbury: The bishop wasn't necessarily eager for a future chronicler setting down a perspective of his life. Indeed, Asbury thought his day-to-day account of ministry in America was going to be the determiner of his legacy and he thus spent significant time re-reading and editing it.He thought his Journal would be quite enough. The truth is that the Journal is not only enough; it is too much. So there is excuse for a biography to abbreviate and to interpret more concisely. This editor has agreed that the Journal is indeed too much for most modern yet interested readers, but highlighted portions may be just right. Some of his letters from a 1958 compilation have been added to provide even more perspective from a slightly different angle. Both the journal and letters will provide inspiration and a ready grasp of the key player in the leading evangelistic frontier of the latter 18th and early 19th centuries. Some of these portions are “quotable quotes” that can and ought to be memorized and rearticulated as opportunities arise. Others could be used for historical perspective and sprinkling in appropriate sermons and writings. Some of the passages are chosen not so much to provide a fascinating quote as to provide a cultural or personal angle to the era. Perhaps this small volume could lead many to read a good biography of Asbury or even read the Journal itself – the truly interested will not be disappointed in the latter. We have called this the “best” of the Journal and his Letters. But it is just one man's reading and penciling in the margins. In the reading and marking, enough intellectual and spiritual pleasure was found that sharing the findings seemed only natural.
