Book Description
In Burning Words I talk about a variety of topics. As the title may suggest, I do not chew my words in the book. I do not write to please or to displease someone out there. I simply write about topics I feel important to write about. Again, Burning Words covers quite a few topics and like any of my books, it is A MUST read.

This volume addresses a crucial, yet largely unaddressed dimension of minority language standardization, namely how social actors engage with, support, negotiate, resist and even reject such processes. The focus is on social actors rather than language as a means for analysing the complexity and tensions inherent in contemporary standardization processes. By considering the perspectives and actions of people who participate in or are affected by minority language politics, the contributors aim to provide a comparative and nuanced analysis of the complexity and tensions inherent in minority language standardisation processes. Echoing Fasold (1984), this involves a shift in focus from a sociolinguistics of language to a sociolinguistics of people. The book addresses tensions that are born of the renewed or continued need to standardize ‘language’ in the early 21st century across the world. It proposes to go beyond the traditional macro/micro dichotomy by foregrounding the role of actors as they position themselves as users of standard forms of language, oral or written, across sociolinguistic scales. Language policy processes can be seen as practices and ideologies in action and this volume therefore investigates how social actors in a wide range of geographical settings embrace, contribute to, resist and also reject (aspects of) minority language standardization.

Book Description
Using the Moyen Bani Programme as an example, External Assistance or External Interference gives an analysis of a grassroots conflict which, not foreseen at project design, lasted six years in Mali. This book provides the historical, economic, and political backgrounds that influenced the design and the conflict resolution. Concepts of perception, emotion, and identity explain the frames of the actors in the conflict. Notions including static and dynamic frames are used to explain their positions at different times during the conflict resolution. It explores the need of protagonists in rural conflicts to increase the political and economic resources they possess to achieve their goals. This need brought the intervention into the conflict of an international NGO. The book examines the "whys" and "wherefores" of the intervention by the NGO. The effects of the conflict on the project results are examined. The book contributes to the development of paradigms for conflict resolution as well as for project planning and analysis.

Book Description
The Epic of Sumanguru Kante contains the Bamana text and English translation of griot Abdoulaye Sako’s oral narrative of the life of Sumanguru, recorded in 1997 in Koulikoro (Mali), together with explanatory notes, a scholarly introduction, and sections on the Bamana language and musical accompaniment. Sumanguru is a familiar figure within Manding epic oral traditions about ancient Mali. But while these narratives generally focus on Sunjata Keita, Sako’s oral poem is rare in according Sumanguru the central role. In so doing he includes hitherto undocumented episodes relating to Sumanguru’s life and role as the ruler of Soso, the little known state said to have flourished in the western Sudan between the fall of ancient Ghana and rise of ancient Mali.

Book Description
Somewhere on earth…Vidi, a village healer and her daughter, Saphrina, have their usual problems- a cranky maid, weird nightmares about battles that seem strangely real and, for Saphrina, a blossoming crush on a kingdom knight. Meanwhile, in Nagalok…Vadi, a Naga princess, is excited about her coming of age ceremony, that will bring her a Nagamani and a prophesy of love. But foul things have set in motion on Earth and in the Underworld. The River of Ages, the life source of the Nagas is turning toxic. Earthly armies are marching in secret and a deadly few have escaped from Nark, the Prison of Creation. Many simple lives are going to get complex, and a few unlikely heroes will emerge. In their hands will lie the future - for the River of Ages carries the tears of Rudra and Parvati - tears of pain and love, capable of catastrophe and creation. Which of the two will triumph? Are Heaven, Earth and the Patal heading towards salvation or destruction?
