All objective indices show that the marriages of today's Africans in the contemporary African Diaspora world, have increasingly become seriously troubled, often alarmingly broken and literally deadly. This new harrowing experience now increasingly commonplace among Africans living in Diaspora foreign lands, especially the West, of irreconcilable marital conflicts and Western-type "divorce" (a term or concept that lacks a literal equivalence in most African languages), previously alien and a rarity in African marriages and culture, has often left Diaspora marital couples and their children in nothing short of utter ruins - life of bitterness, misery, disharmony, dysfunctionality, horrendous violence and unspeakable savagery, and even the shedding of family blood. Volume One. Essentially the "diagnostic" part, defines and sets forth the problem, identifying and locating the basic "root source" of the factors and issues at the core of the problems and difficulties afflicting broken and threatened Diaspora Africans' marriages, while outlining the basic culture, attitudes and values of America and the West in matters of marriage and the family, and their the negative impact they have on some Diaspora African spouses, the so-called "Americanized" or "Westernized" Africans. . Volume Two. Is essentially the "treatment" part that deals with the remedial aspects of the problem. Outlines a systematic approach by which an African in the Diaspora (or in Africa) can essentially "plan" and lay a solid foundation for, and have, a successful and virtually fail-proof marriage in the Diaspora that inculcates BOTH his/her African culture and Christian or Muslim tenets, culminating in an African Diaspora marriage and family of harmony and fulfillment that lasts for a lifetime. Benjamin O. Anosike, B.B.A., MA., Ph.D., has severally served at various points in his long and illustrious career, as a New York civil and family law practitioner, legal scholar and counselor, certified marriage mediator, pre-marriage counselor, domestic relationship expert, public consumer rights advocate and social activist, professional writer, citizen journalist, University lecturer, and oil dealers' Mandate & Consultant. Anosike is the creator of the fail-proof ASFGSM formula (Anosike Strategic Formula for Guaranteed Successful Marriage) - the simple but effective formula for guaranteed harmonious personal relationship, which, when strictly adhered to in marriage, almost guarantees you'd have a lasting, happy and successful marriage. Educated and resident for almost his entire life (except only for his teenage years) in the United States, Anosike holds the B.B.A, the M.A., and several advanced degrees, and a Ph.D. degree, which he earned in jurisprudence (law). Dr. Anosike is joyfully and peacefully married to his wonderful wife both of whom live with their three delightful boys. keywords: Marriage, African, American, Divorce, Legal, Civil, African Culture, Christian Culture, Diaspora, Marital Conflicts "

This study contextualizes magical realism within current debates and theories of postcoloniality and examines the fiction of three of its West African pioneers: Syl Cheney-Coker of Sierra Leone, Ben Okri of Nigeria and Kojo Laing of Ghana. Brenda Cooper explores the distinct elements of the genre in a West African context, and in relation to: * a range of global expressions of magical realism, from the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez to that of Salman Rushdie * wider contemporary trends in African writing, with particular attention to how the realism of authors such as Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka has been connected with nationalist agendas. This is a fascinating and important work for all those working on African literature, magical realism, or postcoloniality.

From a major scholar, a postcolonial perspective on key current and historical issues in Anglicanism, foregrounding the voices of theologians and church leaders from the Global South. In recent years, the Anglican Communion has been consumed by debates about gender, sexuality, authority, and biblical interpretation, which have frequently divided along North/South lines. Much of these controversies stem from the colonial history of Anglicanism. Written by a pioneer in postcolonial theology, this groundbreaking volume challenges Eurocentrism and racism in the Anglican Communion by highlighting the voices of theologians and church leaders from the Global South. The Anglican Tradition from a Postcolonial Perspective scrutinizes Anglican theology and history to advocate for the decolonization of the Church. It examines controversies on Christianity and the social order, economic justice, worship, gender and sexuality, women’s leadership, and the Church’s mission in a religiously pluralistic world.

This study uses an abundance of primary sources to restore African American female participants in the Civil War to history by documenting their presence, contributions and experience. Free and enslaved African American women took part in this process in a variety of ways, including black female charity and benevolence. These women were spies, soldiers, scouts, nurses, cooks, seamstresses, laundresses, recruiters, relief workers, organizers, teachers, activists and survivors. They carried the honor of the race on their shoulders, insisting on their right to be treated as "ladies" and knowing that their conduct was a direct reflection on the African American community as a whole. For too long, black women have been rendered invisible in traditional Civil War history and marginal in African American chronicles. This book addresses this lack by reclaiming and resurrecting the role of African American females, individually and collectively, during the Civil War. It brings their contributions, in the words of a Civil War participant, Susie King Taylor, "in history before the people."

In Against Empire, Zillah Eisenstein extends her critique of neoliberal globalization and its capture of democratic possibilities. Faced with an aggressive American empire hostage to ideological extremism and violently promoting the narrowest of its interests around the globe, Eisenstein urgently looks to a global anti-war movement to counter U.S. power. Looking beyond the distortions of mainstream history, Eisenstein detects the silencing of racialized, sex/gendered and classed ways of seeing. Against Empire insists that 'the' so-called West is as much fiction as reality, while the sexualized black slave trade emerges as an early form of globalization. 'The' West and western feminisms do not monopolize authorship; there is a need for plural understandings of feminisms as other-than-western. Black America, India, the Islamic world and Africa envision unique conceptions of what it is to be fully, 'polyversally', human. Professor Eisenstein offers a rich picture of women's activism across the globe today. If there is to be hope of a more peaceful, more just and happier world, it lies, she believes, in the understandings and activism of women today.

Colonialism left an indelible mark on writers from the Caribbean. Many of the mid-century male writers, on the eve of independence, looked to England for their models. The current generation of authors, many of whom are women, have increasingly looked--and relocated--to the United States. Incorporating postcolonial theory, West Indian literature, feminist theory, and African American literary criticism, Making Men carves out a particular relationship between the Caribbean canon--as represented by C. L. R. James and V. S. Naipaul, among others--and contemporary Caribbean women writers such as Jean Rhys, and Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall, and Michelle Cliff, who now live in the United States. Discussing the canonical Caribbean narrative as it reflects national identity under the domination of English cultural authority, Belinda Edmondson focuses particularly on the pervasive influence of Victorian sensibilities in the structuring of twentieth-century national identity. She shows that issues of race and English constructions of masculinity not only are central to West Indian identity but also connect Caribbean authorship to the English literary tradition. This perspective on the origins of West Indian literary nationalism then informs Edmondson's search for female subjectivity in current literature by West Indian women immigrants in America. Making Men compares the intellectual exile of men with the economic migration of women, linking the canonical male tradition to the writing of modern West Indian women and exploring how the latter write within and against the historical male paradigm in the continuing process of national definition. With theoretical claims that invite new discourse on English, Caribbean, and American ideas of exile, migration, race, gender identity, and literary authority, Making Men will be informative reading for those involved with postcolonial theory, African American and women's studies, and Caribbean literature.
