Download and read online ebook Child Migration in Africa write by Iman Hashim. This book was released on 2011-02-10. Child Migration in Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Child Migration in Africa explores the mobility of children without their parents within West Africa. Drawing on the experiences of children from rural Burkina Faso and Ghana, the book provides rich material on the circumstances of children's voluntary migration and their experiences of it. Their accounts challenge the normative ideals of what a 'good' childhood is, which often underlie public debates about children's migration, education and work in developing countries. The comparative study of Burkina Faso and Ghana highlights that social networks operate in ways that can be both enabling and constraining for young migrants, as can cultural views on age- and gender-appropriate behaviour. The book questions easily made assumptions regarding children's experiences when migrating independently of their parents and contributes to analytical and cross-cultural understandings of childhood. Part of the groundbreaking Africa Now series, Child Migration in Africa is an important and timely contribution to an under-researched area.

This book was released on 2009-08-05. This Is How available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From the Man Booker–shortlisted author of Carry Me Down comes “an unflinching, absorbing, morally complex portrait” of a man in search of himself (The New York Times). Patrick Oxtoby is a perpetual outsider who has always longed to find his place in the world. So when he’s faced with yet another disappointment after his fiancé breaks off their engagement, Patrick moves to a remote seaside village to escape. But in spite of his hopes for a new and better life, Patrick still finds himself struggling to fit in. He can’t shake the feeling that his new friends are conspiring against him, further fracturing his already fragile personality and prompting him to take a course of action that permanently alters his life. This Is How is a psychologically probing and deeply moving account of a man at odds with the world, and whose conflict with that unyielding reality leads to his own downfall. It is a masterpiece of inner tension that is “bleak yet moving, mercilessly dispassionate yet shot through with kindness and wit . . . a profound achievement” (The Guardian).

The first of several works in Arabic to deal with the way in which an individual tries to come to terms with two divergent cultures Together with such figures as the scholar Taha Hussein, the playwright Tawfik al-Hakim, the short story writer Mahmoud Teymour and--of course--Naguib Mahfouz, Yahya Hakki belongs to that distinguished band of early writers who, midway through the last century, under the influence of Western literature, began to practice genres of creative writing that were new to the traditions of classical Arabic. In the first story in this volume, the very short ''Story in the Form of a Petition, '' Yahya Hakki demonstrates his ease with gentle humor, a form rare in Arabic writing. In the following two stories, ''Mother of the Destitute'' and ''A Story from Prison, '' he describes with typical sympathy individuals who, less privileged than others, somehow manage to scrape through life's hardships. The latter story deals with the people of Upper Egypt, for whom the writer had a special understanding and affection. It is, however, for the title story (in fact, more of a novella) of this collection that the writer is best known. Recounting the difficulties faced by a young man who is sent to England to study medicine and who then returns to Egypt to pit his new ideals against tradition, ''The Lamp of Umm Hashim'' was the first of several works in Arabic to deal with the way in which an individual tries to come to terms with two divergent cultures.
