"Este libro contribuye al enriquecimiento de los estudios académicos sobre la política lingüística en África, especialmente en castellano. Ofrece una visión crítica con recomendaciones serias, ideas nuevas y conocimientos inéditos, consideraciones y explicaciones teóricas que permiten comprender el tema.

El libro del Dr. Justo Bolekia Boleká, guineoecuatoriano, es fruto de un escrupuloso trabajo de investigación. Está redactado en un estilo riguroso, pero lúcido.

Se incluye un glosario de las lenguas africanas, en relación con las prácticas políticas, aspecto que hace su lectura atractiva por la valiosa información que proporciona. Al relacionar lenguas y poder, el autor evidencia que se necesita una voluntad política y económica por parte de los dirigentes para conseguir el desarrollo a través de la revalorización de las lenguas vernáculas (suahili, hausa, etc.), las únicas que les pueden permitir comunicar con sus pueblos."

"There has been much debate over recent years about the effect of the Atlantic slave trade on Africa, with some authorities claiming that there were huge figures involved, and that these set back Africa's development for many years. Other historians reach lower estimates of the figures involved in the Atlantic trade, and hence argue that the effects on the political economy of Africa were more limited. Had widespread slavery existed long before the growth of the European slave trade ? How important was the trans-Saharan traffic ?

Ambientada en Guinea Ecuatorial, La bastarda es una novela que denuncia cómo el peso de la tradición frustra la vida de muchas mujeres en las sociedades africanas.

La protagonista, Okomo, una adolescente de etnia fang, atrapada en un sistema de valores que no le permite desarrollar su personalidad, se anima a emprender la búsqueda de su progenitor, cuya identidad le ocultan sus mayores. El viaje la llevará a recorrer su país, en el que se encontrará con las secuelas del colonialismo aún vigentes. En su camino, conocerá a otros personajes que, como ella, se rebelan contra las convenciones sociales y con quienes vivirá experiencias que la transformarán para siempre.

La obra, que contiene información sociológica y antropológica de primera mano, es un relato valiente y directo sobre el conflicto entre la estructura familiar y las creencias ancestrales de los fang y los deseos de libertad de las nuevas generaciones en el África subsahariana.

Con La bastarda, Melibea Obono se presenta como una nueva voz en la literatura africana en español, en la que irrumpe con una decidida defensa de la emancipación de la mujer.

Lingala (a Bantu language of the Niger-Congo family) is spoken by approximately 10 million people living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and Angola. It originated in the Equatorial Region of the DRC, but as the official language of the Army, it became the major language of the Capital city, Kinshasa. Lingala is considered one of the national languages of the DRC.

This dictionary uses the simplified Lingala dialect, also known as Lingala facile. It is mostly a spoken language.

This unique, two-part resource provides travelers to central Africa with the tools they need for daily interaction. The bilingual dictionary has a concise vocabulary for everyday use, and the phrasebook allows instant communication on a variety of topics.

African Women: Their Struggle for Economic Independence by Christine Obbo

"African Women is a study of the everyday struggles of women in East Africa to support themselves economically. The aim of these women is clear – to be more independent of men. One consequence of this has been their migration from traditional village society to the apparently less restrictive life of the city. Chistine Obbo’s book grew out of her research in Uganda and Kenya during the 1970’s. It portrays the attitudes of ordinary women – both villagers and those living in the cities – to their relationships with men. It presents a detailed picture of the multitude of ways in which these women earn their own living. And it shows the new more independent forms of relationships with men – as well as solidarity with other women – that they have built up."

The Agta Negrito people have been hunters and gatherers in the tropical rain forests of the Philippines for centuries. This book investigates a small group of the Agta living on Luzon Island during their transition from a foraging society to a landless group of agricultural workers.

The core of the book is a demographic study of fertility, mortality, and migration over a 44-year period. It is one of only two studies that have completely reconstructed the population dynamics of a foraging group without relying on mathematical models. Ethnographic and narrative historical sections of the book establish the contexts for the demographic data and enhance the study’s readability. As a case history of social and population dynamics in a remote frontier region, the work describes the impact of international commercial interests on both the rain forest and the landless peasantry seeking to survive.

Nan Dòmi: An Initiate’s Journey Into Haitian Vodou by Mimerose Beaubrun; Madison Smartt Bell; D.J. Walker

Topics

Like all the great religions, Vodou has an external, public practice of rituals and ceremonies–and also an internal, mystical dimension. Before Nan Dòmi, works about Vodou have concentrated on the spectacular outward manifestations of Vodou observance–hypnotic drumming and chanting, frenetic dancing, fits of spirit possession. But practically all reports on Vodou are outsider accounts, which means that they are stopped at the threshold.

Mimerose Beaubrun, educated as an anthropologist, set out to write another such work, but in the process she met the woman who would become her ultimate teacher and guide to the religion’s internal mysteries: Tante Tansia, whose knowledge, wisdom and spiritual power govern the text of Nan Dòmi.

Nan Dòmi is the only account of Vodou’s private, mystical, interior practice that has been offered to the public so far. Its content stands in the same relation to ceremonial Vodou as Zen to conventional Buddhism, Sufism to conventional Islam, the practice of the desert saints to conventional Christianity. Mimerose Beaubrun has been a student of Vodou for half of her life, but she is also adept, and in this uniquely valuable work, she divests herself of all scholarly apparatus to speak from Vodou’s purest heart.

This English edition includes a fascinating introduction by Madison Smartt Bell, placing the religion and Beaubrun’s memoir in historical context.

In Search of African Diasporas: Testimonies and Encounters by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza

"This is an ambitious and brilliant book by one of Africa's leading diaspora intellectuals. A combination of a researcher's field notes, a travelogue and personal memoir, it is unusual in African writing. It is the first book by an African scholar to take us on such an amazing analytical and narrative journey in search of African diasporas around the world from Latin America to the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. It is filled with analytical insights, captivating stories, and intriguing observations on the complex histories and experiences of African diasporas, their triumphs and tragedies, perils and possibilities, and their enduring struggles for belonging, for their humanity. Its inimitable passions are leavened by engaging humor, its scholarly analyses by a novelist's eye for local context and color.

The author seeks to address the perplexing question of what it means to be a person of African descent living outside of the African continent. He offers the reader fascinating and richly textured portraits and surveys of the diversity of diasporic lives as well as the abiding connections of the diaspora condition. What makes this book particularly gripping are the multilayered narratives, the braided stories and explorations of African diasporic lives across many contexts and places as well as the author's own life during the period of his travels from 2006 to 2009. Also skillfully interwoven are the author's daily encounters and observations, information and reflections from interviewees from all walks of life, and the larger structural contexts of diaspora struggles for enfranchisement and empowerment.

For all the gruesome exclusions, vulnerabilities, and marginalities African diasporas have suffered in their various abodes, this is a remarkable tale of diasporic agency, a celebration of their lasting contributions to the construction of the modern world in all its manifestations.

This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin."
