Summary

Gusto, kijana mdogo wa shule, hakurithi mali ya marehemu baba yake tu, bali pia amerithi tunguri zake, madaraka yake ya kiwanga na mlolongo mzima wa visa, visasi na vinyongo vya baba yake. Urithi huu unamtoa Gusto katika ulimwengu wa wachawi. Hatimaye, baada ya kupambana na vitimbi, hasara na mikasa ya kutisha, inambidi Gusto akate shauri kati ya kuyatekeleza matakwa ya marehemu baba yake na kuyatimiza matakwa ya dhamiri yake binafsi na ya jumuiya yake inayotafuta maendeleo ya kisasa. Mvutano unaotokea unaukiuka uwezo wake alioupata shuleni, na kutisha kumrarua vipande vipande... Hiki ni kisa cha kutisha na kutaharakisha, kinachotuingiza katika undani wa uganga wa uchawi na mazingaombwe, na hatimaye kutuacha tukijiuliza kama kweli mambo hayo yanayo manufaa yoyote kwa jamii yetu au ni doa na mirathi ya hatari tu katika utamaduni wetu. Gusto, the little school boy, did not inherit anything material from his father, but did inherit his witchcraft; its power, reprisals and vindictiveness.

Summary

English in Europe charts the English invasion of Europe since 1945. Sixteen distinguished European scholars report on the English words and phrases that have become integral parts of their languages. Each describes the effect of English on the host language, and shows how the process of incorporation often modifies pronunciation and spelling and frequently transforms meaning and use. The languages surveyed are Icelandic, Dutch, French, Spanish, Norwegian, German, Italian, Romanian, Polish, Croatian, Finnish, Albanian, Russian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Greek. The book is designed as a companion to A Dictionary of European Anglicisms but may be read as an independent work. This is the first systematic survey of a phenomenon that is fascinating, alarming, and apparently unstoppable.

Summary

The eighth and final volume of The Cambridge History of Africa covers the period 1940-75. It begins with a discussion of the role of the Second World War in the political decolonisation of Africa. Its terminal date of 1975 coincides with the retreat of Portugal, the last European colonial power in Africa, from its possessions and their accession to independence. The fifteen chapters which make up this volume examine on both a continental and regional scale the extent to which formal transfer of political power by the European colonial rulers also involved economic, social and cultural decolonisation. A major theme of the volume is the way the African successors to the colonial rulers dealt with their inheritance and how far they benefited particular economic groups and disadvantaged others. The contributors to this volume represent different disciplinary traditions and do not share a single theoretical perspective on the recent history of the continent, a subject that is still the occasion for passionate debate.
