A thematic look at the current political, social, and economic conditions of Africa through examination of its leaders. From Mobutu Sese Seko, the "King of Kleptocracy," to F.W. De Klerk, "The last white patriarch," the author presents profiles of the rulers of the continent based on his personal encounters with them. He explains how these "big men" have influenced Africa and what their leadership might mean for the future, concluding that while it is premature to speak of a current "African Renaissance," there is still hope to be found in the dreams of the people.

This book was released on 1993-08-24. Little Big Men available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Little Big Men is a study of competitive bodybuilders on the West Coast that examines the subculture from the perspective of bodybuilders' everyday activities. It offers fascinating descriptions and insightful analogies of an important and understudied subculture that has risen to widespread popularity in today's mass culture. Alan Klein conducted his field study of bodybuilding in some of the world's best-known gyms. In studying the social and political relations of bodybuilding competitors, Klein explores not only gym dynamics but also the internal and external pressures bodybuilders face. Central to his examination is the critique of masculinity. Through his study of "hustling" among bodybuilders, Klein is able to construct a social-psychological male configuration that includes narcissism, homophobia, hypermasculinity, and fascism. Because they exist as exaggerations, these bodybuilder traits come to represent one end of the continuum of modern masculinity, what Klein terms comic-book masculinity. This study is a rare foray into the critique of contemporary American macho.
