While much has been written on Africa's complex ethnic and tribal relationships, Jemima Pierre's groundbreaking The Predicament of Blackness is the first book to tackle the question of race in West Africa through its postcolonial manifestations. Challenging the view of the African continent as a nonracialized space-as a fixed historic source for the African diaspora-she envisions Africa, and in particular the nation of Ghana, as a place whose local relationships are deeply informed by global structures of race, economics, and politics. Against the backdrop of Ghana's history as a major port in the transatlantic slave trade and the subsequent and disruptive forces of colonialism and postcolonialism, Pierre examines key facets of contemporary Ghanaian society, from the pervasive significance of "whiteness" to the practice of chemical skin-bleaching to the government's active promotion of Pan-African "heritage tourism." Drawing these and other examples together, she shows that race and racism have not only persisted in Ghana after colonialism, but also that the beliefs and practices of this modern society all occur within a global racial hierarchy. In doing so, she provides a powerful articulation of race on the continent and a new way of understanding contemporary Africa-and the modern African diaspora. 606 $aBlack people$xRace identity$zGhana 606 $aRace awareness$zGhana 606 $aHeritage tourism$zGhana 606 $aAfrican diaspora 607 $aGhana$xRace relations 615 0$aBlack people$xRace identity 615 0$aRace awareness 615 0$aHeritage tourism 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 676 $a305.8009667 686 $aMK 2700$2rvk 700 $aPierre$b Jemima$01537546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786359403321 996 $aThe predicament of blackness$93786910 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06811nam 2201525z- 450 001 9910595073903321 005 20220916 035 $a(CKB)5680000000080787 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/92120 035 $a(oapen)doab92120 035 $a(EXLCZ)995680000000080787 100 $a20202209d2022 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aApplied Mathematics and Fractional Calculus 210 $aBasel$d2022 215 $a1 online resource (438 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-5148-4 311 08$a3-0365-5147-6 330 $aIn the last three decades, fractional calculus has broken into the field of mathematical analysis, both at the theoretical level and at the level of its applications. In essence, the fractional calculus theory is a mathematical analysis tool applied to the study of integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order, which unifies and generalizes the classical notions of differentiation and integration. These fractional and derivative integrals, which until not many years ago had been used in purely mathematical contexts, have been revealed as instruments with great potential to model problems in various scientific fields, such as: fluid mechanics, viscoelasticity, physics, biology, chemistry, dynamical systems, signal processing or entropy theory. Since the differential and integral operators of fractional order are nonlinear operators, fractional calculus theory provides a tool for modeling physical processes, which in many cases is more useful than classical formulations. This is why the application of fractional calculus theory has become a focus of international academic research. This Special Issue "Applied Mathematics and Fractional Calculus" has published excellent research studies in the field of applied mathematics and fractional calculus, authored by many well-known mathematicians and scientists from diverse countries worldwide such as China, USA, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Iran, Tunisia, South Africa, Albania, Thailand, Iraq, Egypt, Italy, India, Russia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Korea, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. 606 $aMathematics and Science$2bicssc 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $aAboodh transform iterative method 610 $aAdomian decomposition method 610 $aanisotropic Lorentz space 610 $aapproximate endpoint criterion 610 $aapproximate solutions 610 $aAtangana-Baleanu fractional derivative 610 $aBabenko's approach 610 $aBanach fixed point theorem 610 $aBessel polynomials 610 $abilateral tempered fractional derivative 610 $aboundary value problem 610 $aCaputo derivative 610 $aCaputo fractional derivative 610 $acaputo operator 610 $aCaputo q-derivative 610 $aCaputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu operators 610 $acollocation method 610 $acollocation points 610 $aconcave operator 610 $acondensing function 610 $aconservation laws 610 $aconvergence analysis 610 $aconvex functions 610 $adegenerate evolution equation 610 $adiscrete fractional calculus 610 $aeigenfunctions and eigenvalues 610 $aelastic beam problem 610 $aequations 610 $aEuler-Lagrange equation 610 $aexistence 610 $aexistence and uniqueness 610 $aexistence of solutions 610 $afirst fundamental theorem of fractional calculus 610 $afixed point 610 $afixed point theorem 610 $afractional burgers equation 610 $afractional calculus 610 $afractional derivative 610 $afractional derivatives 610 $afractional differential equation 610 $afractional differential equations 610 $afractional Dzhrbashyan-Nersesyan derivative 610 $afractional Fornberg-Whitham equation (FWE) 610 $afractional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili system 610 $afractional KdV equation 610 $afractional Prabhakar derivatives 610 $afractional Sturm-Liouville problems 610 $aFredholm-Volterra integral Equations 610 $agamma function 610 $aGelfand problem 610 $ageneral fractional derivative of arbitrary order 610 $ageneral fractional integral of arbitrary order 610 $aGreen's function 610 $ahermite cubic spline 610 $aHHF type inequality 610 $ainitial boundary value problem 610 $ainitial value problem 610 $aintegral transform 610 $alie group analysis 610 $aMHD equations 610 $aMittag-Leffler function 610 $anabla fractional difference 610 $anatural boundary conditions 610 $anatural transform 610 $anew iterative transform method 610 $anonlocal conditions 610 $aone-sided tempered fractional derivative 610 $aoptimal controls 610 $aorder cone 610 $apartial differential equation 610 $apartial Riemann-Liouville fractional integral 610 $apower series solutions 610 $aquantum integro-difference BVP 610 $aregularity criteria 610 $aRiemann-Liouville derivative 610 $aRiemann-Liouville fractional difference operator 610 $aRiemann-Liouville q-integral 610 $asecond fundamental theorem of fractional calculus 610 $asemigroup theory 610 $aseparated boundary conditions 610 $aShehu decomposition method 610 $aShehu transform 610 $asingular sum fractional q-differential 610 $aSonine kernel 610 $asymmetry 610 $atempered fractional derivative 610 $atempered riesz potential 610 $atime delay 610 $atime-fractional Kaup-Kupershmidt equation 610 $aUlam stability 610 $aweak solution 610 $aweighted fractional operators 610 $a?-Laplace decomposition method 610 $a?-Laplace variational iteration method 610 $a?-Hilfer fractional system with impulses 615 7$aMathematics and Science 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aGonzález$b Francisco Martínez$4edt$01322450 702 $aKaabar$b Mohammed K.
