Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK"Etymology" is the story of a word's Background (origin), Evolution (history), Foreground (today's usages) + its semantics (meanings, derivations, modifications, combinations). Denotation is its first birthed meaning from its Source. Connotations are the way Denotations make one "feel" or how one emotionally reacts to it. These are sourced by whatever opinions human authorities say it is; or, in African Tradition, from God's ancestral Essence "Seeds" which Mathematically (step-by-step in singular or association ways) Evolve into diverse Cosmic Entities. And so an Entity's inferred God's Presence "what it is" meaning + its "What"/"Why" messages are the only Etymological Truths. Birthed from this context are all African Tradition life-shaping/life-changing Definitions, Meanings, Concepts, Decisions, Solutions. Since these give rise to ingredients for Thought Structures, whatever of them are used remain part of the metaphorical Cosmic River Seed System-i.e. in Continuity (unity among all diversity) form. Words are mere sounds until given a meaning. Because African Tradition meanings have a unified underlying stability that remains interrelated throughout the whole, so do resultant Thought Structures. This is African Tradition's Ordered Thinking Foundation which remains Organized, no matter in which direction ones Thoughts go. Africans Figures of Communication--alternative routes to Truths, like Myths-are Metaphysical Icon Images of the Spiritual which explain the "what is like" the given Spiritual Entity. Throughout Words' etymological story, any God "Seed is diluted, polluted, replaced with human opinions. That takes meanings so far off the "Truth-Track, ' as to lead the involved into confusion, conflict, ambiguity (multiple meanings for one word; many words for one meaning). Only African Tradition etymology is to be trusted

Writing the Black Diasporic City in the Age of Globalization
Author: Carol Bailey
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 197882968X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Writing the Black Diasporic City in the Age of Globalization theorizes the city as a generative, “semicircular” social space, where the changes of globalization are most profoundly experienced. The fictive accounts analyzed here configure cities as spaces where movement is simultaneously restrictive and liberating, and where life prospects are at once promising and daunting. In their depictions of the urban experiences of peoples of African descent, writers and other creative artists offer a complex set of renditions of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Black urban citizens’ experience in European or Euro-dominated cities such as Boston, London, New York, and Toronto, as well as Global South cities such as Accra, Kingston, and Lagos—that emerged out of colonial domination, and which have emerged as hubs of current globalization. Writing the Black Diasporic City draws on critical tools of classical postcolonial studies as well as those of globalization studies to read works by Ama Ata Aidoo, Amma Darko, Marlon James, Cecil Foster, Zadie Smith, Michael Thomas, Chika Unigwe, and other contemporary writers. The book also engages the television series Call the Midwife, the Canada carnival celebration Caribana, and the film series Small Axe to show how cities are characterized as open, complicated spaces that are constantly shifting. Cities collapse boundaries, allowing for both haunting and healing, and they can sever the connection from kin and community, or create new connections.

The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture
Author: Michael B. Montgomery
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469616629
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
The fifth volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture explores language and dialect in the South, including English and its numerous regional variants, Native American languages, and other non-English languages spoken over time by the region's immigrant communities. Among the more than sixty entries are eleven on indigenous languages and major essays on French, Spanish, and German. Each of these provides both historical and contemporary perspectives, identifying the language's location, number of speakers, vitality, and sample distinctive features. The book acknowledges the role of immigration in spreading features of Southern English to other regions and countries and in bringing linguistic influences from Europe and Africa to Southern English. The fascinating patchwork of English dialects is also fully presented, from African American English, Gullah, and Cajun English to the English spoken in Appalachia, the Ozarks, the Outer Banks, the Chesapeake Bay Islands, Charleston, and elsewhere. Topical entries discuss ongoing changes in the pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar of English in the increasingly mobile South, as well as naming patterns, storytelling, preaching styles, and politeness, all of which deal with ways language is woven into southern culture.

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Mammals of Africa (MoA) is a series of six volumes which describes, in detail, every currently recognized species of African land mammal. This is the first time that such extensive coverage has ever been attempted, and the volumes incorporate the very latest information and detailed discussion of the morphology, distribution, biology and evolution (including reference to fossil and molecular data) of Africa's mammals. With more than 1,160 species and 16-18 orders, Africa has the greatest diversity and abundance of mammals in the world. The reasons for this and the mechanisms behind their evolution are given special attention in the series. Each volume follows the same format, with detailed profiles of every species and higher taxa. The series includes hundreds of colour illustrations and pencil drawings by Jonathan Kingdon highlighting the morphology and behaviour of the species concerned, as well as line drawings of skulls and jaws by Jonathan Kingdon and Meredith Happold. Every species also includes a detailed distribution map. Edited by Jonathan Kingdon, David Happold, Tom Butynski, Mike Hoffmann, Meredith Happold and Jan Kalina, and written by more than 350 authors, all experts in their fields, Mammals of Africa is as comprehensive a compendium of current knowledge as is possible. Extensive references alert readers to more detailed information. This first volume in the series comprises eight introductory chapters covering topics such as evolution, geography and geology, biotic zones, classification, behaviour and morphology. The rest of the book is devoted to the Afrotheria, a grouping that comprises six orders and 49 species; these are the hyraxes, elephants, manatees, otter-shrews, golden-moles, sengis (elephant-shrews) and Aardvark.
