Zustand: very good. Trenton, NJ : Clearway Logistics Phase 1a, 2008. Paperback. 396 pp.- In October 2001, at its Summit in Abuja, Nigeria, the African Union (AU) adopted the proposal for the New Partnership for Africa s Development (NEPAD). NEPAD is a fusion and a synthesis of two proposed development frameworks, the Millennium Partnership for the African Recovery Program (MAP) developed by President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, and the OMEGA plan proposed by President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal. It represents a vision and a framework for socio-economic development in Africa and aims to promote sustainable development in Africa through poverty reduction, immersion in the global system, and increased investment. In November 2005, four years after the adoption of the NEPAD program, the African Finance and Economic Association (AFEA) and the United Nations Institute of African Economic Development and Planning (IDEP), organized an international conference on the NEPAD, in Dakar, Senegal, attended by African and Africanist experts, researchers, academics and representatives of civil society from Africa, United States, and Europe. The resulting volume will become a handbook first and foremost for African policy-makers, who will find in it recommendations, based on rigorous and practical research and analysis for ways to improve the implementation of the NEPAD framework.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Desiree Levi's intelligent and passionate description of her 1921-1922 journeys, DANS L'INDE: DE CEYLAN AU NEPAL, was first published in Paris a century ago and appears here for the first time in English translation. Madame Levi's honest, unvarnished prose paints a vivid, detailed picture of India's cultural, political, and social life at a crucial moment in the struggle for independence and recognition. She had a front-row seat to Gandhi's anti-colonial efforts, visited Hindus, Jains, Parsees and Sikhs in their homes and temples, and socialized with the common men and women too often ignored by Europeans of the period. Thanks to her husband, Sylvain Levi, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and author of a monumental history of Nepal, she gains access to aspects of life in India and Nepal that otherwise would have eluded her. Their four months as humble visiting professors at Santiniketan, Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore's sprawling campus at the epicenter of the Bengali Renaissance, gave her access to India's intellectual, cultural, and political elites. A completely different experience awaited them in Nepal, where, after a harrowing trek over the Himalayas, they enjoyed four months of luxury and scholarly work in Kathmandu as guests of the royal family. Short visits to Sri Lanka and intrepid journeys across India and Nepal in every conveyance known to man completed their year-long odyssey she faithfully recorded in this book. Illustrated with period photos by E.O. Hoppe, and enhanced by Pratapaditya Pal's valuable observations, Desiree's great-great-grandson, Pascal Fuchshuber's family insights, and extensive notes by the translator, IN INDIA: FROM SRI LANKA TO NEPAL is an important contribution to the scholarship and understanding of India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka of a century ago. Desiree Levi (1867-1943) did not set out to be an adventurer, anthropologist, sociologist, political scientist, or author, but she became all of those. Born Desiree Bloch to a Jewish family in Paris in 1867, she married M. Sylvain Levi, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and historian of Nepal. Her narrative of their adventures in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka in 1921-1922 was published in 1925 as DANS L'INDE DE CEYLAN AU NEPAL. It was her only book, and stands as a monument to her intelligence, humanity, and the beauty of her writing. About the Translator: Rob Aft worked as a literary translator in Paris in the 1980s and continues to produce translations in a variety of genres including film scripts and recently a graphic novel (manga) for Tokyo Pop. He chaired the Southern Asian Art Council at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and works with many arts groups in both Los Angeles and Southern Vermont. About the Contributors: Dr. Pratapaditya Pal is a leading Indian art historian and author of many books including the complete catalogs for the Indian and Himalayan collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where he spent 25 years as curator. Dr. Pascal R. Fuchshuber MD is a thoracic surgeon in Antioch, California and the great-great-grandson of Desiree and Sylvain Levi. He grew up in Europe hearing family stories and legends of his famous forebears that he shares in his chapter on Levi family lore. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - I woke up at 3:30 on a steamy December morning at my hotel at McCarthy Hill, Accra, to prepare to take the early morning Vanef-STC bus operating on the Accra-Kumasi line. At 4am, the front desk called to inform me that I had requested a 3:45am wake-up time the night before. I figured a IS-minute tardiness is still within acceptable limits in Africa. Surprisingly, my bus left on time. Though it was filled to capacity (I could only find a seat in the middle row), the ride on 'state transport' as it is called, was as smooth as it could be, given the dismal conditions of portions of the Accra-Kumasi road and the very loud local music emanating from the bus' speakers. As we drove through the lush forests of the Eastern Region, many thoughts crossed my mind regarding the effects of the current economic and democratic reforms (including decentralization) under way in the country, on the average person in Ghana. The bus company that I was patronizing, Vanef-STC, was itself a product of government divestiture from and privatization - an economic decentralization - of the previous State Transport Cooperation. I was informed that the perception by the users of 'state transport' is that ever since the take-over by Vanef-STC, the quality of service has declined. This in tum was due to prolonged litigation by workers who felt that they had been wronged in the process of state divestiture.…
