Paperback. Condición: New. Multi-disciplinary examination of the role of ordinary African people as agents in the generation and distribution of well-being in modern Africa.What are the fundamental issues, processes, agency and dynamics that shape the political economy of life in modern Africa? In this book, the contributors - experts in anthropology, history, political science, economics, conflict and peace studies, philosophy and language - examine the opportunities and constraints placed on living, livelihoods and sustainable life on the continent. Reflecting on why and how the political economy of life approach is essential for understanding the social process in modern Africa, they engage with the intellectual oeuvre of the influential Africanist economic anthropologist Jane Guyer, who provides an Afterword. The contributors analyse the political economy of everyday life as it relates to money and currency; migrant labour forces and informal and formal economies; dispossession of land; debt and indebtedness; socio-economic marginality; and the entrenchment of colonial and apartheid pasts.

None. Condición: Very Good. Octavo (ca. 20,5x20 cm). 2 pp. Brown ink on beige wove paper. Fold marks, but overall a very good letter, written in a legible hand. A historically interesting original autograph manuscript letter from the pioneer days of Grayson County, capturing tensions along the border of the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) and the newly admitted state of Texas (1845). The letter, written in ca. the late-1840s, notifies a Chickasaw Indian Agent and former superintendent of Indian removal about a horse theft by Shawnees in the frontier town of Preston (Grayson County, TX). In 1822, a band of the Missouri Shawnees, numbering about 270 families, migrated south into Mexico, in the eastern part of Spanish Texas. Sixteen years later, shortly after Texas achieved independence, most Shawnees were forcefully relocated to the neighboring Indian Territory, mainly to the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations. Over the following decades, the frontier lands became the scene of multiple confrontations, including murders and thefts, between the settlers and the Shawnees. The author addresses the letter to Indian Agent and one of the most important officials involved in removing Native Americans, Colonel Arthur Upshaw (1803-1877). In the 1830s, the Colonel oversaw the resettling of Indian Tribes from Mississippi and Alabama into present-day eastern Arkansas. After being removed from office in 1850, Upshaw relocated to Texas, where he later served in the Texas legislature for Washington County. In the text, the author, David Wale, notifies Upshaw, about a horse theft in Preston, Grayson County. Wale complains that the livestock was taken away to the Choctaw Nation by the Shawnee Indians and asks the addressee to help the suffice, Ino Prior, "to recover the lost property without trouble and difficulties." The docketing on the verso of the integral leaf identifies Upshaw as an "Ind. Agt." at the time of the letter's writing, necessarily dating it before his removal in 1850 and after the establishment of Grayson County in 1846. Overall, an important frontier correspondence capturing the tensions between the settlers and Shawnees in the immediate aftermath of Texas admission into the union. The text of the letter: " Mr. Ino Prior, the bearer, has lost some horses, together with a good many others, it appears they were stolen by same Shawnees and taken into Choktaw Nation, this I think is a fact from all the information that can be had at this place, both from the Whites & Indians, The sufferer seems to be anxious to do, and to act according to all Law & Justice, to recover the lost property, without trouble and difficulties. My advice to him, in the first place, is to go, and see you, I would presume if the horses are in the Nation, you can do something for him. Your Truly (signed) David Wale ".

Reviews: "When I read 'Country Lanes' I could almost smell the farm, David truly captivates the senses with his writing" Kim Corsaro, Teacher, California. "Fletch paints a picture of Scotland in such an intelligent descriptive and succinct manner. He truly has a gift with words" Kristyna Myles, Singer / Songwriter UK "My Alluring Mind is a book of amazing writing, great poetry and portraiture. I'm truly proud and honoured to get a mention in there" Sam Gray, Singer / Songwriter UK Foreword: I have had the privilege to watch Fletch develop into a brilliant poet. His poems conjure feelings of laughter or crying, leaving an emotion creating a personal connection to his writing. His first book "Gutter Rhymes" felt more like reading someone's journal rather than a book. This resonates even more so with "My Alluring Mind." "My Alluring Mind" is a deeper look into his personal life. Struggles along with victories, but not without his sarcastic humour, guide you along this journey of his life. These poems will take you back to moments in time you remember as if they were yesterday. Others expose you to new and exciting experiences as you watch a boy grow in to a man, all along finding peace with himself. While the book has many poems I enjoy, "Country Lanes" stands out the most to me. Each time it is so easy to imagine myself walking through the Country Lanes, hearing the cows and chickens and the smell of fresh hay. Thank you for the opportunity to follow you on your journey and giving me a glimpse into your alluring mind. not cruel yet not kind! .Kim Corsaro This item is printed on demand.
