Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Focusing on the lineage of pivotal African American and Irish women writers the author argues that these authors often employ strategies of indirection via folkloric expression when exploring unpopular topics. This strategy holds the attention of readers who would otherwise reject the subject matter. The author traces the line of descent from Mary Lavin to Éilís Ní Dhuibhne and from Zora Neale Hurston to Toni Morrison showing how obstacles to free expression though varying from those Lavin and Hurston faced are still encountered by Morrison and Ní Dhuibhne. The basis for comparing these authors lies in the strategies of indirection they use as influenced by folklore. The folkloric characters these authors depict-wild denizens of the Otherworld and wise women of various traditions-help their creators insert controversy into fiction in ways that charm rather than alienate readers. Forms of rhetorical indirection that appear in the context of folklore such as signifying practices masking sly civility and the grotesque or bizarre come out of the mouths and actions of these writers' magical and magisterial characters. Old traditions can offer new ways of discussing issues such as sexual expression religious beliefs or issues of reproduction. As differences between times and cultures affect what can and cannot be said folkloric indirection may open up a vista to discourses of which we as readers may not even be aware. Finally the folk women of Morrison Ní Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin open up new points of entry to the discussion of fiction rhetoric censorship and folklore. | Folk Women and Indirection in Morrison N Dhuibhne Hurston and Lavin

Political Financing in Developing Countries A Case from Ghana

This book argues that to fully grasp the decision-making of politicians and political actors in developing countries we must first understand how politicians finance their campaigns for office—and to whom they are indebted and expected to repay. Political Financing in Developing Countries focuses on Ghana in depth a country often held up as an example of a successful two-party democracy with regular party changes in government. However it is unlikely that candidates and political parties are wealthy enough to finance the increasing costs of campaigns and constituent demands and successful democratic outcomes could be masking a system that actually hinders development progress. Drawing on nearly 200 interviews and extensive fieldwork this book posits that political funds are extracted by an iron square of politicians bureaucrats construction contractors and political-party chairs which rigs the procurement of local-development projects to generate kickbacks. The iron square remains robust across party changes in government due to reciprocity obligations that minimize contractors’ income risks. Ultimately this web of kickbacks diminishes the quality of development by reducing the funds available for projects and distorting incentives to monitor projects. To break this iron square the book recommends replacing sealed-bid procurement—a best practice that ignores on-the-ground realities—with a system that accounts for income stabilization and social obligations. Overall the book argues that scholars of development should advance research on political finance to identify and then alleviate the games that decision makers must play to survive in the political sphere. Political Financing in Developing Countries will be an important and timely resource for scholars across development studies politics economics and African Studies. | Political Financing in Developing Countries A Case from Ghana

Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

The intent of this book - the author's goal for you — is to understand the baseless underpinnings of almost all our fears. You read that correctly - almost all our fears - and therefore to discard them. The author has expertly coached leaders and managers in the discovery of examination of elimination of and sustained freedom from fears. We all know people who are charming and articulate but flounder on a stage addressing colleagues; musicians who master intricate scores but can’t play the basics when asked to solo; athletes who choke; business people who are strong until it comes time to ask for the business; people who consistently feel like imposters. We are far better at dealing with external tangible fears than our own imagined ones. We purchase insurance watch the safety demonstrations know how to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But those are responses to rare and often never-occurring emergencies. Our mythical and monstrous fears are daily dark clouds masking our talents no less than depression or guilt. It’s time to realize there is no monster under the bed never has been and never will be without having to check nightly and without needing a weapon on the night table. Picture yourself freed of restraints that you could never properly articulate and were loath to discuss but which you carried on your shoulders constantly a dead weight nonetheless. Essentially this book is for entrepreneurs business owners and those who seek a better position for themselves and their talents but who procrastinate delay and hang back. It’s about isolating and overcoming the internal fears that we generate every day like a geyser triggered by time events or shifts in the environment. We are our own worst enemies and we ignore the practical remedies to escape fear because we use our energies instead on blaming everyone else. | Fearless Leadership Overcoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head

Routledge Revivals: Understanding Interaction in Central Australia (1985) An Ethnomethodological Study of Australian Aboriginal People

First published in 1985 this book gives an intimate account of the cultural-political conflict between Australian Aboriginal people and Anglo-Australians presenting the Australian social world from the perspective of the Aboriginal person. Adopting a rigorous ethnomethodological analysis and the techniques of ethnolinguistics Liberman looks at the interactional detail of the everyday life of traditionally oriented Australian Aboriginals. He uses tape transcripts of actual interaction to identify chief characteristics of Aboriginal social life. Liberman goes on to show how differences in systems of interaction have influenced relations between Australian Aboriginals and Anglo-Australians. With its account of the politics of cultural conflict in a multi-cultural environment this book is an apt extension of ethnomethodological issues to political concerns. It also exposes Aboriginal perceptions of Anglo-Australian/Aboriginal interaction to a degree not previously achieved in any sociological or anthropological study. As such this book will be a valuable case study to students of social anthropology race relations intercultural communication and sociolinguistics. | Routledge Revivals: Understanding Interaction in Central Australia (1985) An Ethnomethodological Study of Australian Aboriginal People

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Contemporary political and public discourse has come alive with the issues and conflicts surrounding questions of national identity. Despite the widespread sociological attention it has drawn as a result most studies of national identity have been conducted at considerable analytical distance from the lived reality of national identity talk. This collection brings together the work of contemporary researchers situating the talk and interaction in which national identities are actually expressed and used. The book presents detailed investigations of how persons actually use national identity in their talk the interactional uses to which such expressions are put and the interactional consequences of such identity talk. The studies are based on transcribed tape recordings of naturally occurring talk across a variety of different countries and settings illuminating not only situated national identity talk as a phenomenon in its own right but also providing empirically grounded research for traditional sociological theorising about issues of integration devolution and exclusion. | Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction
