Bangura posits that this conceptualization is being challenged by globalization as its power continues to weaken boundaries of statehood and many young people in Africa and the Diaspora are increasingly becoming aware of their own political and economic environment. (African Diaspora refers to the long-term historical process by which people of African descent have been scattered from their ancestral homelands to other parts of the world.) In more-general terms, Pan-Africanism is the sentiment that people of African descent have a great deal in common, a fact that deserves notice and even celebration” (see, for example, the Encyclopedia Britannica, 2020). manifestation, Pan-Africanists envision a unified African nation where all people of the African Diaspora can live. There are many varieties of Pan-Africanism. Historically, Pan-Africanism has often taken the shape of a political or cultural movement. This chapter by Abdul Karim Bangura concerns the challenge to the conventional conceptualization of Pan-Africanism, which is as follows: “the idea that peoples of African descent have common interests and should be unified.

Research indicates that extreme heat increases incidence of stillbirth, and climate change is increasing the spread of vector-borne illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus, which are linked to worse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Women’s and girls’ health is endangered by climate change and disasters by limiting access to services and health care, as well as increasing risks related to maternal and child health. In the aftermath, women and girls are less able to access relief and assistance, further threatening their livelihoods, wellbeing and recovery, and creating a vicious cycle of vulnerability to future disasters. When disasters strike, women are less likely to survive and more likely to be injured due to long standing gender inequalities that have created disparities in information, mobility, decision-making, and access to resources and training. As climate change drives conflict across the world, women and girls face increased vulnerabilities to all forms of gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence, human trafficking, child marriage, and other forms of violence.

The instant New York Times bestselling novel from the author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic book set in a dreamlike alternative reality. One of my favorite books in recent years, I loved trying to piece together the mysteries of the marble halls on my journey alongside Piranesi. The one thing he doesn’t know is why he is there, and the only other resident is oddly quiet about it. Piranesi has an extensive knowledge of almost everything in this house, from the changing tides of the ocean on the floor below, to the migration of the birds in the sky that is the floor above. Imagine you find yourself living in a mansion full of thousands of marble statues, lining hundreds of rooms, which take days to reach. Half-mystery and half-fantasy, full of magic and suspense, Piranesi transcends both genres to become a moving meditation on timeless themes: What is ignorance? What is knowledge? What kind of knowledge is worth gaining, and at what cost? Piranesi is a lovable guide, his purity and innocence at times heart-rending - a model of what human goodness could be. Besides the fish, the birds, and Piranesi, there is only The Other. Piranesi is the Beloved Child of the House, which is not a house at all but an endless maze of classical halls, flooded with fearsome ocean and filled with silver clouds.

I'm excited a lot more for Leopardstar's Honor, and Winds of Change. I haven't updated this book for a long time, but i really wanted to share the new books that will come this year. The precise day of the Epiphany and/or Twelfth Night depends upon the particular tradition. But this is Christmas and I’d like to play with things I’ve run across in my mental wanderings concerning traditions of celebration of Rodanthe.Ĭhristmas day is the first day of the ‘Twelve days of Christmas’, with the ending known as the Epiphany. The Outer Banks have been occupied for a few thousand years, starting with native American cultures around 500 AD (or CE or AO, or whatever term is comfortable to you) with the johnny-come-lately European settlers coming in in the 1580’s with the Lost Colony. When you look out upon the ocean there you’re gazing upon the ‘Graveyard of The Atlantic’ where literally thousands of ships have gone down. I used to have a house in Rodanthe, on the windswept Outer Banks of North Carolina. To add to the overall eerie effect, Hopkins writes the entire book in sculpted verse. After her introduction to crank, or 'the monster' as she refers to it throughout the book, she discovers this wild, seductive, bad girl inside her named Bree. She was born and lived as Kristina for 16 years. So although Crank is technically a novel it's more correctly a fictionalized autobiography written from the perspective of the young teen, Kristina/Bree. Ellen Hopkins first novel is based on her own tragic experience as a mother of a crank (meth) addict. My daughter brought Crank home from the school library and also read it in a day it's positively riveting. I did not like this book at all and yet I am forced to admit it is powerful, important, scary-as-you-know-where and should be read by every parent of teenagers today. This is one of those books I can't give a star rating to-at least not by the definitions goodreads assigns.
