GENDER POLITICS IN COMTEMPORARY AFRICAN LITERATURE: A STUDY OF SEMBENE OUSMANE'S GOD'S BITS OF WOOD AND BUCHI EMECHETA'S SECOND CLASS CITIZEN

CHAPTER ONE: BACKGROUND In characterizing African literature, critics have ignored gender as a social and analytic category. Such characterizations operate to exclude women's literary expression as part of African literature. Hence what they define is the male literary tradition. When African literary discourse is considered from the perspective of gender, it becomes evident that dialogic interaction between men's and women's writing is one of the defining features of the contemporary African literary tradition. Such redefinition has important implications for both critical and pedagogical practices. What it indicates is that neither men's nor women's writing can be fully appreciated in isolation from the other.   STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The problem lies on the issues of gender politics in the African literature wherein various writers have clashes when it comes to views and ideas for example, pertaining to feminism and women in African politics PURPOSE OF TH

Is 'action centered' leadership theory more relevant than examining leadership qualities such as humility and integrity? The case of leadership style of former US Pres. George W Bush (2001 -2005)

  During March 2001, the Bush administration announced that it would not implement the Kyoto , international treaty signed in 1997 that would require nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, claiming that ratifying the treaty would create economic setbacks in the U.S. and does not put enough pressure to limit emissions from developing nations. In February 2002, Bush announced his alternative to the Kyoto Protocol; by bringing forth plan to reduce the intensity of greenhouse gasses by 18 percent over 10 years. The intensity of greenhouse gasses specifically is the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions and economic output, meaning that under this plan, emissions would still continue to grow, but at a slower pace. Bush stated that this plan would prevent the release of 500 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, which is about the equivalent of 70 million cars from the road.

Success Factors for a Valued Distributor – IT Solution Products

  1.0 Introduction IT distribution business is very competitive and margin is eroded due to competition amongst distributors in IT markets. IT distributors provide high quality and valuable computer products. IT vendor like HP, IBM, Microsoft, Cisco and etc usually appoint at least 2 to 3 distributors for their products and a quota was set to distributor on yearly basis. To meet vendor expectation (quota) some distributors will throw price to sell larger volume (hardware or retail box moving) which will may caused price war among distributors.
