Agriculture & related industriesDecember 2010African Smallholders
Food Crops, Markets and Policy
by Hans Holmén, Magnus Jirstrom, Agnes Andersson, Wolday Amha, Fred Dzanku, Willis Olouch-Kosura, John Kadzandira, Olatunji Akande, Bernard Bashaasha, Hyde Haantuba, Peter Coughlin, Stephen K. Wambugu. Edited by Göran Djurfeldt, Ernest Aryeetey, Aida Isinika.
Poverty in sub-Saharan Africa is predominantly a rural and agricultural phenomenon. The large majority of all poor are farmers and herders, therefore as long as the poor remain smallholders, alleviation of poverty remains an agricultural task. African Smallholders documents the farm-level effects of agricultural policies, focusing on a variety of themes including micro-credit, infrastructure, cash crop production and food security. To deepen our understanding of agricultural development it discusses staple food production in sub-Saharan Africa and its response to changing geo-political, macro-economic and agricultural policy. It is a useful resource for all those researching or involved with food security, agricultural and rural development in sub-Saharan Africa.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2022The early modern English sonnet
Ever in motion
by Laetitia Sansonetti, Rémi Vuillemin, Enrica Zanin
This volume questions and qualifies commonly accepted assumptions about the early modern English sonnet: that it was a strictly codified form, most often organised in sequences, which only emerged at the very end of the sixteenth century and declined as fast as it had bloomed, and that minor poets merely participated in the sonnet fashion by replicating established conventions. Drawing from book history and relying on close reading and textual criticism, this collection offers a more nuanced account of the history of the sonnet. It discusses how sonnets were written, published and received in England as compared to mainland Europe, and explores the works of major (Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser) and minor (Barnes, Harvey) poets alike. Reflecting on current editorial practices, it also provides the first modern edition of an early seventeenth-century Elizabethan miscellany including sonnets presumably by Sidney and Spenser.

Strange Cases
by Ibukun Olatunji & Remi Olatunji
Elliot and his partner Tumba work for an agency that investigates and assesses strange cases. The cases relate to divine spirits called Òrìṣà. After each field trip, their short term memories are wiped. When they no longer recognise their reflections they have to ask - who are they really? StrAnge Cases never lets its protagonists get to the world of the Òrìṣà. They are on the periphery and only see manifestations and the after effects of the Òrìṣà’s incursions as reported by eye witnesses. Elliot and Tumbra never see anything directly that can prove the biggest conspiracy of them all - that New London is the batttle ground for a divine civil war. Elliot and Tumbra’s mission is to track every one of the Òrìṣà. At the end of each field trip, their memories are wiped. While this is standard operating procedure in the Agency, it eventually leaves Elliot and Tumbra losing more than memories. Getting too close to Òrìṣà leads to truths neither of them are prepared for.

The Wild Kingdoms
by Ibukun Olatunji
The Wild Kingdoms is the World of the Òrìṣà, existing on the borders of the past and the present. In the present, something is missing - a faded majesty. Speech in the courts of The Wild Kingdoms is poetic and verse is used together with riddles, proverbs and songs. Following a civil war in heaven, a family of divine spirits, the Òrìṣà become refugees. They have immense power and can travel in time, but are trapped in present day New London. In New London – the earth in which the Òrìṣà are trapped. Speech is prose. Songs are heard though not used by characters so often. Proverbs are used infrequently. Verse is not heard except as part of song or performance. As they struggle to adapt they risk losing everything. The story begins with Ọ̀ṣọ́ọ̀sì, The Spirit of the Hunter, who in the present, is a police officer. Ọ̀ṣọ́ọ̀sì is leading a case in New London centered around the dead body of a boy washed up in the Thames.

March 2018Interpretations: Reading the Present in Light of the Past
Reading the Present in Light of the Past
by Jude P. Dougherty
Interpretations is a collection of essays produced by the distinguished philosopher Jude Dougherty over the past decade, written to inform or to provide commentary on contemporary issues. In probing the past to interpret the present they draw upon a perspective that one may call classical, the perspective of Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and their followers across the ages, notably Thomas Aquinas, and his modern disciples, such as Etienne Gilson and Jacques Maritain. The first part of Interpretations is an attempt to understand modernity’s break with the past, the repudiation of Scholasticism and the classical tradition. Dougherty does this by referencing the dominant preoccupations of the Middle Ages, of the Renaissance, of the Reformation, of eighteenth-century British empiricism, and of nineteenth-century German philosophy, drawing upon the readings of Remi Brague, Pierre Manent, and others. What unifies these reflections is the role of religion (both in Christianity and Islam) in society and its impact on the culture, as well as looking at what is called “modernity” where this role becomes reduced or absent. The second part of the volume examines selected addresses by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI from a philosophical point of view. Benedict, like others through the course of history, has recognized the role of religion in producing cultural unity. These essays are an appreciation primarily of the subtlety of the former pontiff’s thought. The third part of Interpretations collects essays and addresses on the practice and nature of philosophy that Dean Dougherty has given throughout his career at The Catholic University of America, and reflects the trajectory of his career and the development of his thought.

The Metamorphoses of the City of God
by Etienne Gilson, Remi Brague, James G. Colbert
Étienne Gilson (1884-1978) was a French philosopher and historian of philosophy, as well as a scholar of medieval philosophy. In 1946 he attained the distinction of being elected an "Immortal" (member) of the Académie française. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1959 and 1964. The appearance of Gilson's Metamorphosis of the City of God, which were originally delivered as lectures at the University of Louvain, Belgium, in the Spring of 1952, coincided with the first steps toward what would become the European Union. The appearance of this English translation coincides with the upheaval of Brexit. Gilson traces the various attempts of thinkers through the centuries to describe Europe's soul and delimit its parts. The Scots, Catalonians, Flemings, and probably others may nod in agreement in Gilson's observation on how odd would be a Europe composed of the political entities that existed two and a half centuries ago. Those who think the European Union has lost its soul may not be comforted by the difficulty thinkers have had over the centuries in defining that soul. Indeed the difficulties that have thus far prevented integrating Turkey into the EU confirm Gilson's description of the conundrum involved even in distinguishing Europe's material components. And yet, the endeavor has succeeded, so that the problem of shared ideals remain inescapable. One wonders which of the thinkers in the succession studied by Gilson might grasp assent and illuminate the EU's path.
