African Political and Economic Philosophy with Africapitalism - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

African Political and Economic Philosophy with Africapitalism - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book creates (on the one hand) and explores (on the other hand) philosophies of African development suitable for Black sub-Saharan African countries. As an academic discipline focused on thought informed by indigenous moral values among Black peoples in the sub-Saharan region, African political philosophy involves philosophizing normatively about government by traditional Black African people with the aim of advancing a better African society. African political philosophy does not mean that its themes, views, concepts, and approaches are exclusively African. It also does not mean that only thinkers in Africa could hold these concepts, nor does it mean that all African thinkers hold the same views. “African” is used geographically in African political philosophy to demarcate certain perspectives that are unique to sub-Saharan African thought and practice that tend not to be the case elsewhere. An African political and economic philosophy should address the origin and method of political power, the guarantee of human and civil liberties, and how economic goods are generated and distributed in African societies. Africapitalism, as a new economic philosophy, obviates the inadequacies in Afrisocialism and offers an option for an African economic philosophy. Edited by Ephraim-Stephen Essien and Frank Aragbonfoh Abumere, the contributors to African Political and Economic Philosophy with Africapitalism: Concepts for African Leadership ask the question: can a neo-Afrisocialism offer anything good for the Africa?

The History of the Formation of Early Chinese Buddhism - In Sub Hur - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The History of the Formation of Early Chinese Buddhism - In Sub Hur - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The History of the Formation of Early Chinese Buddhism: A Study on Discourse Characteristics analyzes the process of the sinicization of Buddhism. It provides a comprehensive investigation on how the perceived similarities between Buddhism and Daoism originated and how traditional Daoist terminologies were applied in the translation of Buddhist texts. By doing so, the text critiques the Daoistization of Buddhism and also offers a comparative overview of the general human ways of thinking in India and China by focusing on the relationship between universal ways of understanding the world during the Wei-Jin era. By analyzing commentaries by scholarly Chinese monks in the Wei-Jin era, and the philosophical nature of Neo-Daoism thought that played the most direct role in the Chinese transformation of Buddhism, this book is an attempt to understand why such discourses on the imperishability of the spirit became the main discussion topic in early Chinese Buddhism, and how colossal Buddhist statues that remind us how an Absolute Deity came to be established in China.

A Gendered African Perspective on Christian Social Ethics - S.j. Loic Mben - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A Gendered African Perspective on Christian Social Ethics - S.j. Loic Mben - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Combining Catholic Social Teaching, feminist and African liberation theology, and the social sciences, Joseph Loïc Mben, SJ, develops a contextual gendered African Christian social ethic that addresses the oppression and marginalization of working women in Sub-Saharan Africa. He focuses primarily on African women from working and poor classes living in either in urban or rural settings, particularly in Cameroon, and thus shows the necessity of inflecting Catholic Social Teaching along the differential of gender.

Creating a Culture for High-Performing Schools - Frederick C. Lunenburg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Creating a Culture for High-Performing Schools - Frederick C. Lunenburg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A high performing school is described as one where student achievement is high and student and teacher absenteeism is low. Student behavior is such that teachers seldom have to control them or tell them what to do. This results in greater time on task, higher teacher morale, low teacher absenteeism, and improved parental support. One other distinctive feature of a high performing school is that the student peer group is a positive force and not a negative force. The end result is a school culture where faculty and students trust and care about each other, and there is a cooperative attitude.

Schooling Poor Minority Children - Martha R. Bireda - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Schooling Poor Minority Children - Martha R. Bireda - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Schooling Poor Minority Children: New Segregation in the Post-Brown Era explores the ''redesign of school segregation'' and explains why resegregation of schools in the post-Brown era is so destructive for poor minority students. The book provides an answer to why schools that serve predominately poor minority students remain ''low performing'' or ''failing'' schools. The concept of stigmatizing school environments is explored and Socially Responsive Pedagogy is recommended as a model for transforming the culture and climate of low achieving schools. The author suggests that a ''fourth crusade'' to ensure equal educational opportunities for poor minority students is needed.

Colonial Legacies in Francophone African Literature - Mohamed Kamara - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Colonial Legacies in Francophone African Literature - Mohamed Kamara - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Colonial Legacies in Francophone African Literature: The School and the Invention of the Bourgeoisie by Mohamed Kamara examines the representation of the colonial school and bourgeoisie in Francophone sub-Saharan literature. Mohamed Kamara contends that the so-called colonial bourgeoisie was invented by the colonizer through the school to perpetuate the ideology of the colonizer, and he interrogates the policies and practices of the school and the ways they were informed by discourses of racial difference. While many works, like those authored by Gadjigo and Alessandri, have interrogated the impact of the colonial school on the African individual and society, they do not focus on the relationship between colonial education and the emergence of the African bourgeois and bourgeoise. Accordingly, this book analyzes the various literary strategies used in selected texts to paint a portrait of the school and the class it produced in view of showing the organic relationship between the two. This book adds a fresh perspective on the intimate connection between the school and social transformation in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa. Kamara suggests that the best solution for the continent resides in the continent’s ability to take what is good in its precolonial past and combine it with what makes sense in today’s reality.

Turnaround Principals for Underperforming Schools - Fenwick W. English - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Turnaround Principals for Underperforming Schools - Fenwick W. English - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

There''s no mystery in turning around low-performing or failing schools, but there are also no recipes. In Turnaround Principals for Underperforming Schools Rosemary Papa and Fenwick English identify the essential ingredients for success. The causes of failure are complex and interactive. Schools are not inert structures but living organisms. Putting schools back together is a collaborative venture. It takes a team to turn around a school, but it all begins with the leadership. The key to success rests in a school leader who has a fundamental understanding of the dynamics of schooling, human motivation, and possesses the resiliency and energy to engage in altering the internal landscape of an unsuccessful school. Two veteran educators have put together a work based on their research and experience for the past half-century. They pull no punches. The challenge is not only to turn low-performing or failing schools around, but to enable them to become more socially just places for all students.
