The description of Africa as a continent in perpetual crisis, ubiquitous in the popular media and in policy and development circles, is at once obvious and obfuscating. This collection by leading ethnographers moves beyond the rhetoric of African crisis to theorize people's everyday practices under volatile conditions not of their own making. From Ghanaian hiplife music to the U.S. "diversity lottery" in Togo, from politicos in Côte d'Ivoire to squatters in South Africa, the essays in Hard Work, Hard Times uncover the imaginative ways in which African subjects make and remake themselves and their worlds, and thus make do, get by, get over, and sometimes thrive. Contributors: Beth A. Buggenhagen, Stephen Jackson, Anne-Maria Makhulu, Mike McGovern, Charles Piot , Dorothea E. Schulz, and Jesse Weaver Shipley

This book traces the historical development of the World History course as it has been taught in high school classrooms in Texas, a populous and nationally influential state, over the last hundred years. The author argues that the course has dynamically evolved to reflect a patchwork of competing visions that have intersected over the past century, with each new framework partially but never completely erasing or replacing those that came before. The first part of the book presents an overview of the World History course supported by a numerical analysis of textbook content and public documents, whilst the second focuses on the depiction of non-Western peoples, and persistent narratives of Eurocentrism, imperialism, and nationalism. It ultimately concludes that a more global, accurate, and balanced curriculum is possible, despite the tension between the ideas of professional world historians, who often de-center the nation-state in their quest for a truly global approach to the subject, and the historical core rationale of state-sponsored education in the United States: to produce loyal citizens. Offering a new, conceptual understanding of how colonial themes in world history curriculum have been dealt with in the past and are now engaged with in contemporary times, it provides essential context for scholars and educators with interests in the history of education, curriculum studies, and the teaching of World History in the United States.

I fondly remember my summer on the Olympic Peninsula with my roommates Bob and Blair and other friends that I have lost track of now. It was 1962 between the happy days of the 50s and the turmoil of the 60s. The Olympic Peninsula was isolated geographically from the rest of the world. There was no television that I knew of and we did not have a radio. Our news came from conversation and letters from home. This is my story of happy days on the Olympic Peninsula with other college students during the summer of 1962. I am looking back to those happy days from the twenty-first century where technology has taken us past all of the predictions from 1962 of the future and we know now, how our hopes and dreams have turned out. I wondered why we were happy then and the world seems so angry now. I looked for the formulas for happiness in my memories. At first I remembered incidents that were fun or adventures. I thought of these as my stories. I typed them on my computer and organized them by chronological time and subject.Patterns emerged that provided to me insight on prejudices, cultural characteristics, friends, boys and girls, happiness, love, and that a person will choose the path that fulfills his or her vision. I collected these vignettes into one story and named it Storm King because much of the story takes place near Storm King Mountain. This story is written much in the style of American Graffiti with vignettes that form a coherent story. It is interesting on several levels. It describes the way things were in 1962 and it is full of fun.
