Free Download Bearing Witness to African American Literature: Validating and Valorizing Its Authority, Authenticity, and Agency (African American Life) By Bernard W. Bell
2012 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0814337147 | EPUB | 1 MB
Bearing Witness to African American Literature: Validating and Valorizing Its Authority, Authenticity, and Agency collects twenty-three of Bernard W. Bell's lectures and essays that were first presented between 1968 and 2008. From his role in the culture wars as a graduate student activist in the Black Studies Movement to his work in the transcultural Globalization Movement as an international scholar and Fulbright cultural ambassador in Spain, Portugal, and China, Bell's long and inspiring journey traces the modern institutional origins and the contemporary challengers of African American literary studies.This volume is made up of five sections, including chapters on W. E. B. DuBois's theory and trope of double consciousness, an original theory of residually oral forms for reading the African American novel, an argument for an African Americentric vernacular and literary tradition, and a deconstruction of the myths of the American melting pot and literary mainstream. Bell considers texts by contemporary writers like Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, William Styron, James Baldwin, and Jean Toomer, as well as works by Mark Twain, Frederick Douglas, and William Faulkner. In a style that ranges from lyricism to the classic jeremiad, Bell emphasizes that his work bears the imprint of many major influences, including his mentor, poet and scholar Sterling A. Brown, and W. E. B. DuBois. Taken together, the chapters demonstrate Bell's central place as a revisionist African American literary and cultural theorist, historian, and critic.Bearing Witness to African American Literature will be an invaluable introduction to major issues in the African American literary tradition for scholars of American, African American, and cultural studies.

Free Download Angus Mansfield, "Barney Barnfather"
English | ISBN: 075245580X | 2010 | 252 pages | EPUB | 488 KB
Riversdale Robert 'Barney' Barnfather was an RAF fighter pilot who flew Spitfires in action almost continuously from November 1941 until the end of the war in Europe. Barney was often in the thick of the fighting and saw action in the offensive sweeps over France, in the desperate air battle for Malta, the fighting in North Africa, the invasions of Sicily and Italy, and finally on the fringes of the Third Reich over Austria in 1945. This type of experienced and brave pilot formed the backbone of Fighter Command and after many operational flying hours, clashes with enemy aircraft and even a mid-air collision, he survived it all relatively unscathed. Thanks to the fascinating personal log book that Barney kept of his experiences, the contributions from his former colleagues and extensive historical research, Angus Mansfield has produced a detailed and enthralling history of a Spitfire pilot's escapades thousands of feet above the battlefields of the Second World War.

Free Download David Eltis, "Atlantic Cataclysm: Rethinking the Atlantic Slave Trades"
English | ISBN: 1009518976 | 2025 | 442 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In this comprehensive work, David Eltis offers a two-thousand-year perspective on the trafficking of people, and boldly intervenes in the expansive discussions about slavery in the last half-century. Using new and underexplored data made available by slavevoyages.org, Eltis offers compelling explanations of why the slave trades began and why they ended, and in the process debunks long-held assumptions, including how bilateral rather than triangular voyages were the norm, and how the Portuguese rather than the British were the leading slave traders. Eltis argues that two-thirds of all enslaved people ended up in the Iberian Americas, where exports were most valuable throughout the slave trade era, and not in the Caribbean or the US. Tracing the mass involvement of people in the slave trade business from all parts of the Atlantic World, Eltis also examines the agency of Africans and their experiences in the aftermath of liberation.

Free Download Lorenz Kropfitsch, Hans Wehr, "Arabisches worterbuch fur die schriftsprache der gegenwart: Arabisch - Deutsch"
Deutsch, Arabic | 2020 | ISBN: 3447114959 | DJVU | pages: 1040 | 18.1 mb
Die von Lorenz Kropfitsch deutlich erweiterte und umfassend bearbeitete Neuauflage des "Arabischen Worterbuchs fur die Schriftsprache der Gegenwart" war seit vielen Jahren ein Desiderat. Seit dem Erscheinen der 5. Auflage 1985 hat sich der Wortbestand des Neuhocharabischen signifikant verandert, umso mehr als die letzten Jahrzehnte von einem nie dagewesenen technischen und digitalen Wandel sowie gesellschaftlichen Umbruchen und kulturellen Paradigmenwechseln gepragt waren. Entsprechend gross ist der Zuwachs der Lemmata. Neben der Erweiterung des Wortschatzes lag das Augenmerk auf der Korrektur und Erganzung, aber auch der Straffung des bisherigen Bestandes. Es gibt kaum ein Lemma, das der Verfasser nicht redigiert hatte. Entstanden ist letztlich ein neues Worterbuch, das mit der Vorauflage nur noch den Grundbestand an Lexemen gemeinsam hat. Zudem erscheint das Worterbuch mit einem vollig neuen Druckbild, der Text ist lesefreundlicher, und das Worterbuch ist insgesamt kompakter und handlicher geworden und bietet mehr Inhalt bei geringerem Umfang. Somit liegt nun wieder ein modernes Grossworterbuch fur die arabische Sprache vor. Die 6. Auflage des "Wehr" prasentiert den Allgemeinwortschatz des modernen Hocharabisch unter Berucksichtigung der Regionalitaten und enthalt zahlreiche Begriffe aus allen Fachgebieten, die fur eine adaquate zeitgenossische Kommunikation und fur die originalsprachige Rezeption moderner Literatur und Publizistik unerlasslich sind. Nach wie vor ist dieses renommierte und traditionsreiche Standardwerk fur Studierende wie Lehrende, fur den Sprachanfanger wie fur den Sprachexperten ein unverzichtbares Arbeitsmittel und Rustzeug.
