Decolonizing Heritage : Time to Repair in Senegal (9781316514535)



Senegal features prominently on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As many of its cultural heritage sites are remnants of the French empire, how does an independent nation care for the heritage of colonialism? How does it reinterpret slave barracks, colonial museums, and monuments to empire to imagine its own national future? This book examines Senegal's decolonization of its cultural heritage. Revealing how Leopold Sedar Senghor's philosophy of Negritude inflects the interpretation of its colonial heritage, Ferdinand de Jong demonstrates how Senegal's reinterpretation of heritage sites enables it to overcome the legacies of the slave trade, colonialism, and empire. Remembering and reclaiming a Pan-African future, De Jong shows how World Heritage sites are conceived as the archive of an Afrotopia to come, and, in a move towards decolonization, how they repair colonial time.

The Dare (9781777112134)

College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can't say no. The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class. Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties...and in Greek Row sorority beds. He's the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don't give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop--rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we're getting busy. Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it's fun to pull the wool over my frenemies' eyes. But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I'm realizing there's much more to Conor's story than his fan club ...

The First World War (9780375700453)

The definitive account of the Great War and national bestseller from one of our most eminent military historians, John Keegan. The First World War created the modern world. A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. The First World War probes the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict and takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse t...

The Lady of RhuddeSmear : The Legal Case Against Victoria Strauss, Ann "A.C." Crispin, Writer Beware(TM) & Others (9781514240953)

In January 2008, Barbara Bauer and her group Barbara Bauer Literary Agency, Inc. recorded a claim in New Jersey State court naming twenty-two defendants in the action. The claims against the defendants incorporated defamation, tortious interference with prospective business advantage, and conspiracy. Consistent with court records, the controversy centered on declarations made on an impressive number of websites portraying Bauer as being in the company of the "20 Worst Literary Agents" and asserting that she had "no . . . significant track record of sales to commercial (advance paying) publishers." The claims, in addition, asserted that different litigants posted modified photos of Bauer on the Internet and made YouTube films, namely "Crouching Snark, Hidden Draggon" and "Miss Snark's Happy Hooker Crapstravaganza," that purportedly slandered and disparaged her. Concerning Wikimedia, the complaint asserts that Wikipedia printed false informatio...
