Migrations and Creative Expressions in Africa and the African Diaspora by ISBN: 1594604606Publication Date: 2008-08-01Contributors ranging from architects to linguists explore the cultural and spiritual dynamics of migrations in Africa and the African diaspora.The co-authored volume provides readers with fresh insights on African migration and the attendant implications, productions and generations of the historic experiences of those who were forcefully displaced and others who willfully relocated to other spaces of the world.The book seeks to:(1) engage debates on multiple issues which underpin the provoking history of African migration and their attendant implications,(2) provoke a rethinking of the sociology and politics of migrating souls and resistant spirits in the Americas, Europe and Africa, the restive yet resolute entities, scattered, still, metaphorically united in their quest for, and hold on to identity,(3) engender fresh understanding and interpretations of cultural ethos of African native homelands and establish, where present, their replication in migrant communities in the diaspora, and(4) tie African migration history with modernity thereby underscoring the points of their interactions, departures, and tangentially establishing remembrances.
Garden Cities and Colonial Planning by ISBN: 9780719090554Publication Date: 2014-05-31This collection is a study of the process by which European planning concepts and practices were transmitted, diffused and diverted in various colonial territories and situations. The socio-political, geographical and cultural implications are analysed here through case studies from the globalSouth, namely from French and British colonial territories in Africa as well as from Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine. The book focuses on the transnational aspects of the garden city, taking into account frameworks and documentation that extend beyond national borders, and includes contributions from an international network of specialists. Their comparative views and geographical focus challenge the conventional,Eurocentric approach to garden cities, and will interest students and scholars of planning history and colonial history.
