This book was released on 2017-05-16. Love, Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From Jeffrey Gettleman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist, comes a passionate, revealing story about finding love and finding a calling, set against one of the most turbulent regions in the world. A seasoned war correspondent, Jeffrey Gettleman has covered every major conflict over the past twenty years, from Afghanistan to Iraq to the Congo. For the past decade, he has served as the East Africa bureau chief for the New York Times, fulfilling a teenage dream. At nineteen, Gettleman fell in love, twice. On a do-it-yourself community service trip in college, he went to East Africa—a terrifying, exciting, dreamlike part of the world in the throes of change that imprinted itself on his imagination and on his heart. But around that same time he also fell in love with a fellow Cornell student—the brightest, classiest, most principled woman he’d ever met. To say they were opposites was an understatement. She became a criminal lawyer in America; he hungered to return to Africa. For the next decade he would be torn between these two abiding passions. A sensually rendered coming-of-age story in the tradition of Barbarian Days, Love, Africa is a tale of passion, violence, far-flung adventure, tortuous long-distance relationships, screwing up, forgiveness, parenthood, and happiness that explores the power of finding yourself in the most unexpected of places.

This book was released on 2009-08-01. Love in Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In recent years, scholarly interest in love has flourished. Historians have addressed the rise of romantic love and marriage in Europe and the United States, while anthropologists have explored the ways globalization has reshaped local ideas about those same topics. Yet, love in Africa has been peculiarly ignored, resulting in a serious lack of understanding about this vital element of social life—a glaring omission given the intense focus on sexuality in Africa in the wake of HIV/AIDS. Love in Africa seeks both to understand this failure to consider love and to begin to correct it. In a substantive introduction and eight essays that examine a variety of countries and range in time from the 1930s to the present, the contributors collectively argue for the importance of paying attention to the many different cultural and historical strands that constitute love in Africa. Covering such diverse topics as the reception of Bollywood movies in 1950s Zanzibar, the effects of a Mexican telenovela on young people’s ideas about courtship in Niger, the models of romance promoted by South African and Kenyan magazines, and the complex relationship between love and money in Madagascar and South Africa, Love in Africa is a vivid and compelling look at love’s role in African society.

Inspired by movies the missionaries showed in Casamance, Senegal (NW Africa), Abdalla Ndao has attended film school at NYU and is now working on a documentary film. He wonders about Nowace, the gem he left behind. He is not aware that she has been sending him monthly letters-even though she has received no reply to any of them. When the Ndao farmland is used as a test case, Abdalla must return to Casamance, find a lawyer, and raise the question as to the reasons the government has fenced the property. Once in town, however, he wonders if he can find Nowace Waldo and whether she even remembers him from eight years ago. Meanwhile, people encourage Abdalla to boost his documentary to a feature film. When he asks his former professor about this, the man cautions Abdalla not to make any family move or large changes in life. It's too risky to raise another three million dollars in the late 1960s. Courtney Alexander Williams completes his second novel of a trilogy. His first book, Faithful Brothers? begins with the youngest brother discovering diamonds in the peanut crops and fencing them in the local market. The elder brother is in New York at film school. The younger brother links up with unsavory elements. Meanwhile, the government pursues the family. In From Africa with Love, the elder brother now needs to go back to Africa to retain the family farmland. These stories grow out of Williams's experience of living as an adopted son with a family in Senegal, Africa. Williams is a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), and Actors' Equity Association (AEA). Although he lives in and around the New York City area, he has also trained in Los Angeles. He has performed in over a dozen movies, nearly a dozen television programs, and half-dozen off-Broadway theater productions.
