Buried - Life, Death And Revolution In Egypt

de Peter Hessler

~~14,56€~~ 11,65€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 ''Tenacious, revelatory, and humane.'' - Paul Theroux''The Buried is the kind of book that you don''t want to end and won''t forget. With the eye of a great storyteller Peter Hessler weaves together history, reporting, memoir, and above all the lives of ordinary people in a beautiful and haunting portrait of Egypt and its Revolution.'' - Ben RhodesWinner of the The Peter Mackenzie Smith Book Prize 2021In 2011, while revolution swept across Egypt, Peter Hessler was reporting on the everyday lives and ancient secrets of a country in turmoil. The result is this unforgettable work of literary and documentary brilliance. In The Buried, Hessler traces the human stories alongside the broader sweep of historic events: Tahrir Square, the massacres and the coup form the background, but so too do ancient cults, buried cities in the desert and dead pharaohs with huge ambitions. Most important are the people forging their lives in this world. We follow rubbish collector Sayyid; Arabic teacher Rifaat; and Manu, a translator. There are also the Chinese immigrants who have built a lingerie empire, politicians and ingenious archaeologists. Together, they raise the question: is revolution just repetition, or can things ever really change?

Strikes Have Followed Me All My Life - A South African Autobiography

de Emma Mashinini

~~9,21€~~ 7,37€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the powerful and moving life story of one of South Africa's leading trade union activists, from her childhood in Sophiatown to her first marriage and divorce, the dark days of her six months in detention and her lasting contributions to labour organisation in South Africa.Strikes Have Followed Me All My Life was first published in 1989 by The Women's Press but was never available in South Africa. Emma Mashinini's autobiography is an accessible, engaging account of a self-effacing union organiser, gender-rights activist and a phenomenal woman who has lived a difficult life and endured many challenges: detention without trial for six months (most of which were spent in solitary confinement); losing two daughters and a son-in-law; health problems as a result of detention; and constant abuse at the hands of apartheid's enforcers. But Emma's story is one of courage. It is engaging, at times sad (there is a heart-breaking moment in the text when she forgets her daughter's name while in solitary confinement), but mostly it is an inspirational account of a selfless individual.This edition includes a Foreword by Jay Naidoo that brings the reader up to date with Emma's life and opinions and the state of the labour movement in South Africa as well as moving letters from Mashinini's family that were written to her on her 80th birthday.This is a classic South African memoir in the same vein as Ellen Kuzwayo's Call Me Woman, which recalls and preserves vital accounts of South Africa's history.

The comprehensive empirical descriptions and analyses of education and training contexts and cultures written by some of the best minds in the subfield give you the latest research findings and distill relevant experiential and theoretical knowledge, tools, and skills based on case analyses, including carrying out development activity in different cross-cultural contexts.
