Missions in Colonial Sierra Leone
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the religious development of colonial Sierra Leone, created for freed former slaves returned to Africa from other countries. Sierra Leone is unique among African nations in that it was created by outside forces for a highly specific reason. It would provide a missions field holding individuals already acquainted with the message that missions sought to promote. The missions of the colonial period were highly successful with individuals, but were unable to translate that success to the nation. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Morocco: A Cultural Collage
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Morocco's twelve-hundred-year history is equally interspersed with characteristics of "an ancient kingdom and a new nation" (Rinehart, 1991, p. PG); when one looks back at what is one of the world's oldest states, one cannot help but harbor a deep respect for the manner by which Morocco emerged against similar conditions that plague current-day developing countries. Two of the most difficult of all challenges Morocco has faced throughout its extensive history reflect its "struggle for legitimacy by ruling dynasties and the seemingly contradictory evidence of remarkable institutional continuity in the midst of political disunity, ethnic diversity, and tribal discord" (Rinehart, 1991, p. PG). Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Nationalism and Decolonization in Sierra Leone
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing Sierra Leone’s origins and journey through decolonization on its way to gaining its independence in 1961. The path of decolonization in Sierra Leone followed a pattern common in other colonies gaining their independence from a foreign power. Those in leadership positions initially looked to the occupying power for assistance, then for freedom and self-determination. Such was the case in Sierra Leone, which led Africa in various freedom movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Nelson Mendela, "an ordinary man."
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Personal tribal history, and sheer force of will propelled Nelson Mendela into politics; it is unlikely that apartheid would have been abolished with his tenacity, and organizational skills. To say that the right person was in the right place at the right time is not to negate any of Medela's skills, but neither can time and situation be ignored. According to Brink (2000), Mandela himself argues, that "I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man, who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances."

Neo-Liberalism in Australia’s Social Support System
[ send me this paper ]
Before the mid-1990s, public policy was based on a welfare state in which the government was viewed as the answer to all societal ills. For example, in the circumstance where a person was without employment, that person would be assisted by the government with financial support. This changed with globalization, the end of the Cold War and the global market economy. Emulating their new fiscal outlooks, governments began applying “fiscal restraint” to all government policies and programs, which has become one of tenets of the neo-liberal discourse.

New Zealand & Zimbabwe Domestic Politics
[ send me this paper ]

This principle is demonstrated with large states and also within small states such as New Zealand and Zimbabwe. The writer discusses this topic in relation to both of these countries. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Ngangura Mweze's "Life Is Rosy" / "La Vie Est Belle"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. La Vie Est Belle (Life Is Rosy) by Ngangura Mweze is a wonderfully funny story about love, social acceptance and the trouble people will go to achieve both in their lives. Director Mweze took a story line completely different from the typical African cinematic representation and offered the public a more carefree approach to life than is so common of African films. Indeed, Mweze has a reputation of reaching out and inviting his audience to experience with him the sometimes intense and often comical sense of being that is clearly portrayed within his cinematic work, with La Vie Est Belle serving as a fine example. No bibliography.

Ngugi wa Thiongo’s “The River Between”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Ngugi wa Thiongo’s novel “The River Between” (1965). Ngugi wa Thiongo’s novel “The River Between” tells the story of the division between two Kikuyu communities in regards to their adherence or denial of the Western and Christian beliefs and education. The story takes place in the late 1920s and 1930s and tells of the division between the two communities which are divided between the Christians and the non-Christians. Ngugi uses several elements within his work to highlight the division between the communities. Firstly, he portrays a visual division in his description of the landscape which consists of the two communities on “antagonistic” ridges facing each other across the river. Secondly, he highlights one of the traditional rituals, circumcision, to show how the inclusion of the ritual in one community leads to a different social and gender structure than that of the Christian community which has been educated that circumcision is a “sin”. Regardless of the education however, the community left without circumcision does not feel that all of the stages to adulthood are met in the Christian religion. The novel also includes several mythological elements by Ngugi which are found to be traditional “savior” elements consistent with literary and religious themes across all religions. In the case of “The River Between” however, the savior elements are once again related to the land which must be conserved and protected against the invading colonists.

Ngugi’s “Petals of Blood” and Achebe’s “Arrow of God"
[ send me this paper ]
This 5
page report discusses the Kenyan novelist Ngugi wa Thiong’o, also
known as James Ngugi (1938 - ) and his fourth novel, “Petals of
Blood” (1977). The book serves as both a sarcastic and bitter
indictment against the leaders of post-independence Kenya and how
they betrayed the country. Chinua Achebe (1930 - ) of Nigeria is
one of Africa’s best-known and most honored writers. His “Arrow
of God,”
the second of Achebe’s novels of colonialism, takes place in the
1920’s after the British have established a presence in Nigeria.
