After the Flashlight Man: A Memoir of Awakening By Nancy Mccabe 2003 | 135 Pages | ISBN: 1557532583 | PDF | 1 MB One night in 1990, a stranger cut the screen out of Nancy McCabe's bedroom window while she slept and shone a flashlight into her eyes as she woke. A few weeks later, her father came down with temporary amnesia. Although unrelated, these events became linked in her mind, sweeping out from under her the fundamentals many of us take for granted: safety, freedom, the stability of memory, and a general oblivion to mortality. After the Flashlight Man is the story of how one author came to terms with these experiences that threw her life into a whole new light: the self-defense classes, rape crisis volunteer work, writing, and meditation that served as checkpoints along her healing journey while she re examined events from her childhood and relationships with family and friends. Ultimately, a flashlight turned against her as a bizarre weapon became instead a metaphorical tool that blazed her path, the impetus to reclaim, recast, and tell her own stories, discovering her own power to reinvent her vision of her life.  After the Broken Spears: The Aztecs in the Wake of Conquest edited by Camilla Townsend, Josh Anthony English | December 29, 2025 | ISBN: 0197776175, 0197776183 | True PDF | 288 pages | 52.99 MB Following Hernando Cortés's conquest of Tenochtitlan in 1521, the Aztec empire became the center of the largest European colony in the Americas. It has long been assumed that Indigenous people's personal experiences of this cataclysmic era are inaccessible. Spanish records do not reflect how Nahuas and other Indigenous peoples spoke privately about the great changes, and accounts written in Indigenous languages mostly date from the latter half of the sixteenth century.  James Penney, "After Queer Theory: The Limits of Sexual Politics" English | ISBN: 0745333796 | 2014 | 224 pages | MOBI | 488 KB After Queer Theory makes the provocative claim that queer theory has run its course, made obsolete by the elaboration of its own logic within capitalism. James Penney argues that far from signaling the end of anti homophobic criticism, however, the end of queer presents the occasion to rethink the relation between sexuality and politics.  Julian Johnson, "After Debussy: Music, Language, and the Margins of Philosophy" English | ISBN: 0190066822 | 2020 | 396 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Classical music shows a close relationship to language, and both musicology and philosophy have tended to approach music from that angle, exploring it in terms of expression, representation, and discourse. This book turns that idea on its head. Focusing on the music of Debussy and its legacy in the century since his death, After Debussy offers a groundbreaking new perspective on twentieth-century music that foregrounds a sensory logic of sound over quasi-linguistic ideas of structure or meaning. Author Julian Johnson argues that Debussy's music exemplifies this idea, influencing the music of successive composers who took up the mantle of emphasizing sound over syntax, sense over signification. In doing so, this music not only anticipates a central problem of contemporary thought-the gap between language and our embodied relation to the world-but also offers a solution.  After Capitalism (New Critical Theory) By David Schweickart 2002 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0742513009 | PDF | 6 MB David Schweickart moves beyond the familiar arguments against globalizing capitalism to contribute something absolutely necessary and long overdue--a coherent vision of a viable, desirable alternative to capitalism. He names this system Economic Democracy, a successor-system to capitalism which preserves the efficiency strengths of a market economy while extending democracy to the workplace and to the structures of investment finance. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, Schweickart shows how and why this model is efficient, dynamic, and superior to capitalism along a range of values.  Afrika und Rom: Die Geschichte und das Erbe des Römischen Reiches auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent (German Edition) by Charles River Editors German | October 2, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0FTTD9LSB | 149 pages | EPUB | 10 Mb Natürlich war das ptolemäische Ägypten nicht das einzige Reich, das Rom auslöschte. Karthago war eine der großen antiken Zivilisationen, und auf seinem Höhepunkt beherrschte das wohlhabende karthagische Reich den Mittelmeerraum gegenüber Griechenland und Rom, mit Handelsunternehmen und einem Einfluss, der von Spanien bis in die Türkei reichte. Zu mehreren Zeitpunkten in der Geschichte hatte es sogar die reale Chance, das junge Römische Reich oder die untergegangenen griechischen Poleis (Stadtstaaten) als Herrscher über das Mittelmeer abzulösen. Obwohl Karthago es bei weitem vorzog, wirtschaftlichen Druck und Einfluss auszuüben, bevor es auf direkte militärische Macht zurückgriff (und sogar so weit ging, dass es sich während eines Großteils seiner Geschichte hauptsächlich auf Söldnerarmeen verließ, die mit seinem enormen Reichtum bezahlt wurden), brachte es dennoch eine Reihe hervorragender Generäle hervor, von Leuten wie Hanno Magnus bis hin zu dem großen Schreckgespenst der römischen Albträume selbst: Hannibal.

Despite a blossoming and branching out of Africanist scholarship in the last twenty years, that question is still haunting. The most prestigious locations for production of African studies are outside Africa itself, and scholars still seek a solution to this paradox. They agree that the ideal solution would be a flowering of institutions of higher learning within Africa which would draw not only Africanist scholars, but also financial resources to the continent.While the focus of this volume is on historical knowledge, the effort to make African scholarship "more African" is fundamentally interdisciplinary. The essays in this volume employ several innovative methods in an effort to study Africa on its own terms. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1, "Africanizing African History," offers several diverse methods for bringing distinctly African modes of historical discourse to the foreground in academic historical research. Part 2, "African Creative Expression in Context," presents case studies of African art, literature, music, and poetry. It attempts to strip away the exotic or primitivist aura such topics often accumulate when presented in a foreign setting in order to illuminate the social, historical, and aesthetic contexts in which these works of art were originally produced. Part 3, "Writing about Colonialism," demonstrates that the study of imperialism in Africa remains a springboard for innovative work, which takes familiar ideas about Africa and considers them within new contexts. Part 4, "Scholars and Their Work," critically examines the process of African studies itself, including the roles of scholars in the production of knowledge about Africa.This timely and thoughtful volume will be of interest to African studies scholars and students who are concerned about the ways in which Africanist scholarship might become "more African."  Noah Tsika, "African Media in an Age of Extraction " English | ISBN: 9048561256 | 2025 | 360 pages | EPUB | 10 MB African Media in an Age of Extraction takes a fresh, site-specific look at the relationship between moving images and the mining of natural resources, arguing that where we "place" Nollywood and other industries has important practical and conceptual consequences. Such locations are not just spatial metaphors but also tangible geographies with material connections to extractive economies. Sites of film production are often spaces of oil prospecting, timber harvesting, and mineral extraction―natural environments continuously transformed by capital. African Media in an Age of Extraction links such absolute spaces―reclaimed lands, razed forests, petroleum zones, abandoned coal mines collecting moss, vast tin fields inspiring illegal dredging by populations locked out of the licit economy―to the abstract and lived dimensions of film villages, shooting locations, and exhibition centers. The geographies of African media industries are not fixed locations cleanly separated from surrounding areas or from the wider world (including Hollywood), nor are they fully detachable from the mineral and hydrocarbon resources that also define them. Considering multiple scales―the local, the national, the regional, the continental, the planetary―this book takes stock of the physical terrain and extractive objects that Nollywood shares with other industries and that structure screen media more broadly. Topographies, political economies, national identities, and natural resources are entwined in ways that cinema makes intelligible and that carry the potential to transform the way we see the medium itself.  African Masks and Emotions: In Theory and in Practice (Getty Research Institute Council Lecture Series) by Z. S. Strother English | December 23, 2025 | ISBN: 1606069934 | 160 pages | PDF | 45 Mb In this groundbreaking book, Z. S.Strother, inspired by dialogues with African masquerade patrons and performers, disputes assumptions that masks universally hide, reveal, or transform. |
