Pan-African Futurism

Pan-African Futurism

Reginold A. Royston

University of California Press
2025
sidottu
Ghana has been a crucial site of encounters between the West and Africa and a historic center for twentieth-century Pan-African independence movements. Today, it has also emerged as an important node of technology-driven development in the Global South. Ghana's activist software developers and digital diaspora are redefining the role of technology, not simply as a means for economic growth, but as a tool for greater African political autonomy. In this rich ethnography, Reginold A. Royston uses the term "Pan-African futurism" to describe the redemptive ethos among technologists working on development projects on the ground in Africa today. Royston charts the explosion of mobile internet access on the African continent, growing interest in African tech entrepreneurship, and the flowering of digital transnational ties. Ghana's Pan-African futurists advocate entrepreneurship and civil society activism as a means of "hacking" the kinds of socioeconomic development that have long been advocated by NGOs. Using participant observation and interviews with tech developers on the ground and media producers in the diaspora, including in virtual spaces and with communities online, Royston provides a nuanced portrait of tech users focused on "social good" emanating from the Global South, expanding the discourse for contemporary Pan-African politics.

Suffering Into Success: A Paradigm Shift of Struggle to Achieve Happiness

Suffering Into Success: A Paradigm Shift of Struggle to Achieve Happiness

Reginald a. Howard

Reginald A. Howard Publishing
2018
nidottu
Once every few years, there's a book that shifts thinking and beliefs. Its sole purpose is to dissect your understanding of life and offer a new concept to achieve happiness. Reginald A. Howard's Suffering Into Success is one of those books. In this life-changing read, you will learn how to embrace your struggles so that you can turn your failures into fixtures. Suffering Into Success is the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship for the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. As simple as this notion may seem, it's one that not many fully accept. From Joseph's story in the Bible, to every entrepreneur working to execute their dreams, most of us have experienced the feeling that is Suffering Into Success. But naturally, people tend to run from their struggles because of the pain they have to endure instead of welcoming the discomfort. The goal isn't to dehumanize struggle, but to change the perspective of it. This book will break the concept of Suffering into Success down into digestible information so that you can change your outlook of suffering in your life. The reward at the end of the tunnel should negate the agony that you have to undergo to accomplish your life goals. By using the lessons in this book, you will learn how to use your struggles as your strength so that you can achieve your version of success.

Preaching the Gospel of Black Revolt

Preaching the Gospel of Black Revolt

Reginald A. Wilburn

Pennsylvania State University Press
2020
pokkari
In this comparative and hybrid study, Reginald A. Wilburn offers the first scholarly work to theorize African American authors’ rebellious appropriations of Milton and his canon. Wilburn engages African Americans’ transatlantic negotiations with perhaps the preeminent freedom writer in the English tradition.Preaching the Gospel of Black Revolt contends that early African American authors appropriated and remastered Milton by completing and complicating England’s epic poet of liberty with the intertextual originality of repetitive difference. Wilburn focuses on a diverse array of early African American authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Frederick Douglass, and Anna Julia Cooper. He examines the presence of Milton in their works as a reflection of early African Americans’ rhetorical affiliations with the poet’s satanic epic for messianic purposes of freedom and racial uplift.Wilburn explains that early African American authors were attracted to Milton because of his preeminent status in literary tradition, strong Christian convictions, and poetic mastery of the English language. This tripartite ministry makes Milton an especially indispensible intertext for authors whose writings and oratory were sometimes presumed beneath the dignity of criticism. Through close readings of canonical and obscure texts, Wilburn explores how various authors rebelled against such assessments of black intellect by altering Milton’s meanings, themes, and figures beyond orthodox interpretations and imbuing them with hermeneutic shades of interpretive and cultural difference. However they remastered Milton, these artists respected his oeuvre as a sacred yet secular talking book of revolt, freedom, and cultural liberation.Preaching the Gospel of Black Revolt particularly draws upon recent satanic criticism in Milton studies, placing it in dialogue with methodologies germane to African American literary studies. By exposing the subversive workings of an intertextual Middle Passage in black literacy, Wilburn invites scholars from diverse areas of specialization to traverse within and beyond the cultural veils of racial interpretation and along the color line in literary studies.
