Abstract:
In Almanac of the Dead, Leslie Marmon Silko asks, who has spiritual possession of the Americas? This question cannot be answered outside of Silko’s premises: it is impossible for outsiders to know where Africa ends and America begins; and the truth resides in the web of differing versions. In this essay, I maintain that Silko’s novel is written as a vévé—a crossroads where Gods and ancestors are subjects capable of narration. Using Silko’s language philosophy and a through close reading of Clinton’s notebooks and radio broadcasts, I argue that slavery/colonization and black/Indian must always

Abstract:
BENJAMIN BANNEKER was a farmer, scholar, mathematical wizard, and a selftaught astronomer and surveyor. An African American, he was born a free man in Maryland in 1731. At the age of twenty-two, using only a pocket watch as a guide, he built a wooden striking clock that kept accurate time and continued to strike until it burned in a fire shortly after his death. He wrote an almanac and ephemeris from 1791 through 1802—some were published and widely distributed in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In 1791, Banneker received an appointment to assist in surveying the lines of the Fe

enjamin Banneker was a scientist, scholar, astronomer, and mathematical wizard. An African American, he was born a free man in Maryland in 1731. Banneker was known and respected throughout America and Europe for his mathematics skills. Using only a pocket watch as a model, he built the first wooden striking clock in America. It kept accurate time for fifty-three years. President Jefferson had such high regard for Banneker that he chose him to assist in developing plans for laying out the streets of Washington, D.C. From 1792 to 1797, Banneker published a Farmer's Almanac, which contained his c

Abstract:
Institutions of Higher Learning in South Africa annually face challenges that often lead to student protests and demonstrations, mostly at the beginning of every academic year, which adversely impact the smooth running of academic programs. Stakeholders’ expectations were at the apex of causes that destabilise the academic environment, academic almanac and the overall academic professional reputation. The volatility of this kind retards productivity and negatively affects many tertiary institutions across the Country. This empirically grounded paper focuses on conflicting variables amongst uni

Abstract:
Welcoming visitors is part of our African culture. This research tries to reflect on house visitation in the Maranatha Reformed Church of Christ (MRCC), and the impact thereof, if any, in the spiritual lives of congregants. Traditionally, pastors, elders and deacons alone bear the responsibility of visiting families in the MRCC. This research therefore reflects on the issue of house visitation in the MRCC where it is seen and understood as the duty and responsibility of pastors, elders and deacons only. The research is a passionate call for the MRCC, as a church, to work on a ministry design

Abstract:
Benjamin Banneker’s letter to Thomas Jefferson was written August 19, 1791, to accompany a copy of the almanac that Banneker was to have published in the next year. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries almanacs were not simply catalogs of information providing calendars, astronomical and seasonal predictions, weather forecasts, and agricultural ideas; they also included entertaining and educating stories, commentaries, and even poetry, therefore offering much more in the way of reading material at a time when such things were scarce. And since almanacs were common to most households, a w

Abstract This chapter introduces the fifth dream journalist, Benjamin Banneker. Born in 1731 in a rural part of what would become the state of Maryland, Banneker was a free African American whose family worked as tobacco farmers. Banneker had a precocious intelligence and scientific curiosity, and during his life, he worked as an inventor, engineer, surveyor, and author of impressively accurate almanacs. One of the most brilliant minds of his time, Banneker recorded his dreams in a journal throughout his life, and he wrote stories involving vivid dream experiences. He was constantly under thre
