Sommario/riassunto |
|
Papers from the April 1996 symposium address traditional simulation topics in discrete-event, continuous, digital, and analog simulation, and explore areas of distributed systems, network modeling, and simulation, as well as advances in simulation methodology and practices. Topics include parallel and distributed simulation; multiprocessor architectures; network modeling; simulation languages, tools, and environments; animations and virtual reality; and simulation of distributed systems and databases.

It's an awful story. It's an awful story. Why do you want to bring this up now?--Chief Awusa of Atorkor For centuries, the story of the Atlantic slave trade has been filtered through the eyes and records of white Europeans. In this watershed book, historian Anne C. Bailey focuses on memories of the trade from the African perspective. African chiefs and other elders in an area of southeastern Ghana-once famously called |

"the Old Slave Coast"-share stories that reveal that Africans were traders as well as victims of the trade. Bailey argues that, like victims of trauma, many African societies now experience a fragmented view of their past that partially explains the blanket of silence and shame around the slave trade. Capturing scores of oral histories that were handed down through generations, Bailey finds that, although Africans were not equal partners with Europeans, even their partial involvement in the slave trade had devastating consequences on their history and identity. In this unprecedented and revelatory book, Bailey explores the delicate and fragmented nature of historical memory. "From the Trade Paperback edition." |
