It also examines policy challenges and the prospects for social progress. It points to critical areas of investigation for the CODESRIA Multinational Working Group (MWG) research network on higher education. Conceived as a background text for this network, the book traces the historical roots and the global factors of the African higher education crises and the search for transformation to address issues of legitimacy and relevance. It analyses the origins, nature, and mission of African higher education, the problems associated with cultural colonization and the dependency trap, the local/global nexus in the crises with a special attention to the structural adjustment programmes (SAPs), and the various waves of reforms and innovations. Furthermore, the book presents a synopsis of studies that were conducted on the crises, highlighting both their findings and recommendations.Working paper series.Education, HigherAfricaEducation, Higher378.6378.6Assie-Lumumba N'Dri Therese1795490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957900903321Higher education in Africa4336847UNINA04346nam 22005173 450 991015896770332120231110230924.01-63450-614-6(CKB)3710000001018788(MiAaPQ)EBC5679007(Au-PeEL)EBL5679007(OCoLC)1086126357(MiAaPQ)EBC5305332(Au-PeEL)EBL5305332(CaPaEBR)ebr11531740(OCoLC)1028942401(EXLCZ)99371000000101878820210901d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFeathers The Tales Trilogy, Book 21st ed.New York :Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated,2016.©2016.1 online resource (211 pages)Tales Trilogy 1-63450-165-9 Intro -- Title Page -- Dedication -- Copyright -- Contents -- Part One -- Chapter One The Boy -- Chapter Two The Chief's Real Son -- Chapter Three The Storm -- Chapter Four The Boy Birther -- Chapter Five The Teaching of Magic -- Chapter Six The White Bird -- Chapter Seven The Initiation -- Chapter Eight The Shift -- Chapter Nine The Savages -- Chapter Ten The Battle -- Part Two -- Chapter Eleven The Blood -- Chapter Twelve The New People -- Chapter Thirteen The Traitor -- Chapter Fourteen The Betrayal -- Chapter Fifteen The Banishment -- Part Three -- Chapter Sixteen The Wandering -- Chapter Seventeen The Red Cloak -- Chapter Eighteen The Great Great Lake -- Chapter Nineteen The Journey -- Chapter Twenty The Temple on the Mountain -- Chapter Twenty-One The Killings -- Chapter Twenty-Two The Kiness -- Part Four -- Chapter Twenty-Three The Night Shift -- Chapter Twenty-Four The Changing -- Chapter Twenty-Five The Man Birther -- Chapter Twenty-Six The Command -- Chapter Twenty-Seven The High-Kiness's Secret -- Chapter Twenty-Eight The Warning -- Part Five -- Chapter Twenty-Nine The Official -- Chapter Thirty The Curse -- About the Author -- Acknowledgements.Feathers fell like rain from the sky. Ode was never meant to be born. An outcast from birth, he discovered how to control his unique, remarkable gift entirely on his own. Unlike the other people of his tribe, Ode can fly. Sometimes his body will shudder and shift, and then Ode will transform. He becomes a great white bird with feathers as pale as the snow. He becomes a swan. He can fly above the tribe's tepees and soar over the emerald forests of the Wild Lands. But even with his gift, he cannot save his family from the oncoming war. The Magical Cleansing is spreading across the realm, and strangers arrive from foreign lands bringing with them bloodshed and fear. With the help of his gift, Ode flees to a distant island where answers, Magic, and a girl with golden hair await him. He must be brave, and he must be wise. And he must never turn back. The exciting and much-anticipated second book in the Tales trilogy, Feathers is sure to keep fans of Marissa Meyer's Cinder series turning the pages as they journey through the magic world of the Western Realm.
