Another America

The Politics of Race and Blame

By: Kofi Buenor Hadjor

Born in the flames of the Los Angeles rebellion, Another America, is a fiery collection of trenchant essays on race, class, and politics. Provocative and compelling, Kofi Buenor Hadjor's work argues that racial issues are often camouflaged in neoconservative debates and policy proposals about crime, welfare, poverty, and family values. The U.S. government's ongoing war on the underclass, the assaults on affirmative action, the myth of reverse discrimination, the so-called war on drugs give weight to Hadjor's theory that African Americans are being blamed for their plight in a society where racism remains an integral part of all institutions.

Marry Me in Africa

African Foundations

By: E. Kofi Agorsah

Marry Me in Africa is an invitation to discuss approaches and processes in African marriage ritual. As one crucial institution in African culture, marriage in its traditional African definition has helped many of the continents cultures maintain a sense of community and identity. This book invites especially students and researchers into exchanges on some African marriage traditions and their roles in African societies. It concerns those aspects that fascinate me and many other Africans that we believe will interest people in the New World, particularly the Caribbean. Researchers of the African Diaspora might want to use some of the marriage practices for reconstructing models for analysis and interpretation of the formation and transformation of the African heritage in the Diaspora. Marry Me in Africa is particularly useful for scholars not familiar with the different cultural practices among African societies, their sources of identity and diversity, and the implications of these for understanding African social systems. This book will be a useful companion for other scholars who know about some of the cultural practices but are unable to identify exactly their relationship to specific ethnic groups, traditional concepts, social, political, economic, technological, and other practices that have constituted the patterns of cultural behavior among African societies through marriage. Individual or local cultural traditions and practices are presented within the context of the general African cultural heritage, leading to cross-cultural comparison and generalizations. The convergence of traditional marriage patterns and continuities in specific aspects of traditional values and behavior of various societies are examined over the common-ground sense of community among Africans that may not be the same today as in the past. For this reason this book takes the liberty to discuss present manifestations of a transformed past in the present.

Dictionary of Third World Terms

By: Kofi Buenor Hadjor

Words associated with the Third World are often loaded with Western assumptions and cultural attitudes. In this pioneering reference, the author cuts through the bias to offer a critical guide to the controversies. Drawing on many disciplines, including economics, politics, sociology, anthropology, and women's studies, he describes the crucial individuals, movements, ideologies, and institutions.
