Sommario/riassunto |
|
Democracy is the faith that the process of experience is more important than any special result attained, so that special results achieved are of ultimate value only as they are used to enrich and order the ongoing process. Africans must therefore be allowed to apply their cultural and historical experiences and talents in working out a pattern of 'government of the people, by the people, and for the people' according to their own understanding and as their own peculiar circumstances demand. Those who do not want the vertical 'Western-Style Democracy' must be given a fair chance to demonstrate an alternative African horizontal democracy. Perhaps what they come up with might be of benefit to politics even in the West, provided that their radical system of horizontal democracy protects the life, liberty and |

property of citizens, and provided that the people want it. The question of externally imposed or market-driven multi-party or dual-party or non-party is a matter of modality and should not occupy the center stage in Africa. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Using concepts from attachment theory, D.H. Lawrence and Attachment presents innovative readings of Lawrence's fiction. Ronald Granofsky teases out hidden patterns in Lawrence's work, deepening our understanding of his fictional characters and revealing new significance to key thematic concerns like gender identification, marriage, and class. |
