Society of Illustrators, Dilys Evans Founder's Award Winner A New York Times Best Book of 2020 A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2020 PRAISE "Electrifying. Extraordinary. Enigmatic and gorgeous." —The Wall Street Journal "An epic dream captured in superbly meticulous detail." —Shaun Tan "Danger, magic, surprise and awe abound in this masterly, wordless debut." —The New York Times "I love Van den Ende's passion." —Brian Selznick, New York Times Book Review STARRED REVIEWS ★ "Marvelously engrossing—a triumph." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "Remarkable. Absolutely sui generis." —Booklist, starred review Without a word, The Wanderer presents one little paper boat's journey across the ocean, past reefs and between icebergs, through schools of fish, swaying water plants, and terrifying sea monsters. The little boat is all alone, and while its aloneness gives it the chance to wonder at the fairy-tale world above and below the waves, that also means it must save itself when it storms. And so it does. Readers young and old will find the strength and inspiration in this quietly powerful story about growing, learning, and life's ups and downs.

Dieudonnes life is spun from the threads of one of Africa's grand moral dilemmas, in which personal responsibility is intertwined with the social catharsis occasioned by ambitions of dominance and ever diminishing circles. We encounter Dieudonne at the tail end of his service as 'houseboy' to the Toubaabys, a patronising expatriate couple. In the company of a lively assortment of characters and luring music at the Grand Canari Bar, Dieudonne recounts his life. As he peels layer after layer of his vicissitudes, he depicts the everyday resilience of the African on a continent caught in the web of predatory forces. Yet, this enchanting failure also celebrates the infinite capacity of the African to find happiness and challenge victimhood.

Although the academic study of development is well established, as is also its policy implementation, less considered are the broader, more popular understandings of development that often shape agendas and priorities, particularly in representative democracies. Through its accessible and provocative chapters, Popular Representations of Development introduces the idea that while the issue of ‘development’ – defined broadly as problems of poverty and social deprivation, and the various agencies and processes seeking to address these – is normally one that is discussed by social scientists and policy makers, it also has a wider ‘popular’ dimension. Development is something that can be understood through studying literature, films, and other non-conventional forms of representation. It is also a public issue, one that has historically been associated with musical movements such as Live Aid and increasingly features in newer media such as blogs and social networking. The book connects the effort to build a more holistic understanding of development issues with an exploration of the diverse public sphere in which popular engagement with development takes place. This book gives students of development studies, media studies and geography as well as students in the humanities engaging with global development issues a variety of perspectives from different disciplines to open up this new field for discussion.

A journal that's beyond words. For beginning journal-keepers, especially tweens, it can be tough to put feelings into words. But putting feelings into doodles - that's a whole different story. Introducing Doodle Journal, a book that makes self-expression as simple as letting your pen do its thing. This prompted journal is filled with cool, doodly artwork growing out of the corners and creeping up the edges of the pages like a wild vine of inspiration. But plenty of space on every spread is left invitingly clear, waiting for the journal-keeper's touch. There are also tons of activities, including ""doodle-starters"" -- faintly printed guidelines of cool shapes and patterns. Trace over them, adding your own embellishments, to make the designs your own. It's the satisfaction of creation with no artistic skills required. Clever journal prompts and drawing ideas mean there is never a struggle thinking of what to doodle. And, of course, the one tool you need is included: a custom-designed gel pen, mounted in a convenient holder. It's everything you need to do the doodles of your life.

The Anglophone Question & Postcolonial Hegemony in Cameroon: The Past that Did Not Pass is a comprehensive collection of essays and analyses that explore the historical, colonial, postcolonial, legal, and international relations aspects of the politico-cultural and linguistic crisis between the English-speaking former British Southern Cameroons (now divided into the Northwest and Southwest regions), and the French-speaking majority of the former French Cameroon, la République du Cameroun. This conflict has shaken Cameroon to its core since the 1990s and led to an armed conflict between the government of Cameroon and Anglophone non-state armed groups. The premise of this book is that the Anglophone Question, the problematic situation of the muted English and Pidgin-speaking minority in French Cameroon, is one of the unfinished items of business of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, that resolved the conflicts of that great conflict. The Anglophone conflict has been exacerbated by the authoritarian republican chieftaincy that was installed in Cameroon after independence and reunification. This neo-patrimonial, kleptocratic regime of Cameroon, has, with the support of its international partners, emphasized the argument of force rather than the force of argument, thereby creating yet another frozen African conflict. "The Anglophone Question cannot vanish by some political maneuver, as Cameroon's senile nonagenarian president has done over the decades, with his ossified knee excruciatingly painful on the nation's neck. That is my takeaway after reading this insightful, well-argued, exhaustively researched, highly intellectualized, yet practical compendium of chapters that bear an unapologetic witness to the horrific Anglophone Problem. I celebrate the authors' fearlessness, articulation and lucid presentation as the establishment continues to seal its ears with candle wax. I'll reverse President Paul Biya's mantra and say: Rule 1: There is an Anglophone Problem. Rule 2: When in doubt, consult Rule 1." -Uche Onyebadi, PhD, Texas Christian University, Texas, USA

Based on previously unused primary sources including extensive interviews in Cameroon, personal journals, diaries, responses to questionnaires, and a variety of secondary sources, this study is a critical analysis of US study abroad programs in Africa. Using the University of Dayton Cameroon Immersion program as a case study, the work examines different aspects of experiential learning including selection, orientation, activities of US college students in Cameroon, post-immersion meetings, and impact of program. The nation of Cameroon and University of Dayton are uniquely ideal for the study as Cameroon is considered “Africa in miniature” and serves as a window to understanding many of Africa’s political, economic, cultural, and social complexities. Located in the American Midwest, the University of Dayton, while unique, shares many similarities with other American universities. The study expands the boundaries of scholarship on study abroad. By comparing the impact of the African experience on students to that of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers who served in that continent, the study opens up avenues for comparative analyses. Africa is vital to the global community and, with its complex political, economic, cultural, and social systems, offers important lessons to understanding students’ ability to adapt to change in a rapidly changing global environment.

Like Albert King wrote in 1967, Ravi Dane was born under a bad sign. Son of an overindulgent young mother and his guitar-playing, drug-addicted father, Ravi stood little chance at surviving, much less succeeding, at life. His stolen first breath would be the only card cleanly dealt to him. Out-of-control circumstances robbed him of the life others would enjoy as he grew up sidestepping an abusive stepfather and finding acceptance and safety in friends that would protect and love him throughout the rest of his life. A retired guitar hidden under years of dust and disappointment unlocked innate musical ability commonly found on stages and in concert halls throughout the world. The love of a young woman hiding in plain sight and the four members of a garage band would ferry Ravi into the world of rock and roll and the destiny always in his cards.
