Produktbeschreibung
Co-published with the Obor Foundation, this volume of readings is published to assist in worldwide efforts to support publishing in developing countries. Recognising the crucial need for an indigenous publishing industry, the volume illustrates the great variation in the development of publishing across the developing world. The chapters are reprints of key contributions from experts in the field to the main issues, and cover: current trends in book Ppblishing; multinationals and third world publishing; the economics of book publishing; international copyright; distribution: the neglected link in the publishing chain; educational publishing and book provision; the transition from state to commercial publishing systems in African countries; electronic publishing: new technologies and publishing; and publishing in the third world: issues and trends for the twenty- first century.
'The African state is unveiling itself as a violence-machine, not only in times of war, but also in times of peace...and is forcing children to occupy the spaces from which it has itself withdrawn.'Almost without exception, all the wars on the African continent of the last fifty years have implicated children as either victims or agents. More recently, war and urban conflicts, and the agency of children in these conflicts have fused; and violence has remained the constant phenomenon, being understood as the generic alternative to democratic processes. Moreover, child involvement in urban violence has been swept along on the curent of globalisation; the situations in Somalia, Congo Kinshasa, Congo brazaville and Johannesburg bearing resemblance to those of Bogota and Manila. This bibliography introduces the most important texts from war studies, family, child and gender studies, and the political and social sciences, which pertain to the subjects of children in situations of war and urban violence. It gives prominence to Francophone African texts, the publications of international agencies and human rights organisations, as well as the key texts from within African studies. (In French)
