When Kobie Krüger, her game-ranger husband and their three young daughters moved to one of the most isolated corners of the world – a remote ranger station in the Mahlangeni region of South Africa’s vast Kruger National Park – she might have worried that she would become engulfed with loneliness and boredom. Yet, for Kobie and her family, the seventeen years spent in this spectacularly beautiful park proved to be the most magical – and occasionally the most hair-raising – of their lives.

English | ISBN: 2384546856 | 2023 | 171 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
From the historical perspective, the Cold War can be regarded as an extension and continuation of colonialism via different means. The tools and methods that the superpowers, as well as local allies used, were in many ways similar to those desired during the last stage of European colonialism: gigantic economic and social projects, the promises of progress and modernization to the supporters, and almost death to the opponents or those who dare to step on the way of progress.

In November 1914, British Indian Expeditionary Force "B" conducted an amphibious assault on the Port of Tanga in German East Africa. The British possessed all the tools required for success; they outnumbered the defenders almost eight to one, they possessed the only artillery and naval guns available for the battle, and they landed where the Germans were weak. Despite these factors, a hastily organized German defense force of 1,100 soldiers not only defeated the 8,000 British soldiers, but also compelled Indian Expeditionary Force "B" to retreat to Mombasa.

Contextualizing Indigenous Knowledge in Africa and its Diaspora


Free Download Felisters Jepchirchir Kiprono Ibigbolade Aderibigbe, Alloy Ihuah, "Contextualizing Indigenous Knowledge in Africa and its Diaspora"
English | ISBN: 1443878405 | 2015 | 265 pages | PDF | 1075 KB
This volume proposes a wholesale adoption of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (AIKS) as a paradigm for Africas renewal and freedom from the whims of foreign interests. These systems, as argued here, involve balancing short-term thinking and immediate gratification with longer-term planning for future generations of Africans and the continents diaspora. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with development studies in Africa and its diaspora, as it offers plausible solutions to Africas chronic developmental problems that can only be provided from within Africa, rather than through the intervention of external third parties. As such, it provides vital contributions to the ongoing search for viable answers to the challenges that Africa faces today.
