Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. With brief gift inscription by and signed by Laura Jones (scarce thus). In this compelling account of an extraordinary life, Jones, former director of special projects at New York City's Lincoln Center, follows the rise to fame of the charismatic 39-year-old South African playwright, who has drawn on his Zulu heritage and his experience of racial injustice to write enormously successful plays-Woza Albert!, Asinamali!, Sarafina, Township Fever and Magic at 4 A.M. His plays enjoy a wide audience, and he has attracted benefactors and assembled an acting company of devoted followers. Jones worked with Ngema when several of his plays were produced at Lincoln Center and later collaborated with him on Magic at 4 A.M., traveling to South Africa to interview Ngema's family and friends and visit the locales of his plays. Her biography also captures the excitement of South Africa's black theater. Signed by Author.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It is a commonplace that the problems of African rural development are becoming increasingly complex--that is, they have grown more numerous, interrelated, and varied. This complexity has generated a multitude of development scenarios. Such scenarios encourage decision making along rigid and narrow patterns that ignore the diversity of local situations and national cultures. Among these is the doomsday scenario, applied to every nation on the continent, best captured in the phrase Everything worksàexcept in Africa. Emery Roe argues that crisis scenarios generated by an expert (usually non-African) elite are self-serving and counterproductive. Despite this, they go largely unchallenged, even when they fail to explain or predict. Except-Africa takes up the challenge of devising development scenarios that do justice to the continent's variegated reality.The book begins by defining what the author means by a development narrative. The subsequent chapters provide alternate scenarios to such dominant models. Chapter 2 sketches four counter-narratives to the tragedy of the common argument, while chapter 3 constructs the most innovative challenge to conventional ways of thinking about Sub-Saharan pastoralism in decades. Chapter 4 develops an alternative scenario of expatriate advising in Africa, while chapter 5 devises a counter-narrative to the all-too-common views about government budgeting in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. Chapter 6 presents a case study and counter-narrative from Zimbabwe of a complex local government reform. The book concludes by moving beyond case material and specific situations to answer the most imperative question in African studies and rural development: What would a politics of complexity look like in Africa if complexity were seriously engaged Contemporary African studies are dominated by narratives about power. Yet in African rural development, power interests are by no means always clear. Development issues are frequently contingent and provisional. Surviving the tangled fusion of narrative and reality requires a politics of complexity. Except-Africa will be an essential work in meeting that challenge.…
