Tropical Paradise Lost and Regained: The poetic protest and prophecy of Edward Brathwaite, Claire Harris, Olive Senior, and David Dabydeen, 1997
Get PDFThis dissertation examines the poetry of four Caribbean poets: Edward Brathwaite, Claire Harris, Olive Senior, and David Dabydeen. A presentation of the background issues which shape their voices of protest and prophecy, stemming from the colonization of the Caribbean region, governs the discussion. While the African ancestry of the poets Brathwaite, Harris, and Senior provides the cohesion of this critical analysis, Dabydeen, of East Indian ancestry, fits within the matrix of this analysis due to the thematic centering of his poetry on the issues of dislocation and dispossession surrounding the colonization of the Caribbean region. This analysis is organized into six chapters. Chapter One, the introduction, presents a historical overview ofthe Caribbean region and the scope of this dissertation. Chapters Two through Five are devoted to an analysis of selected works of each poet. Finally, Chapter Six synthesizes the powerful notes of protest and prophecy sounded by each of these poets in their quest for a home which empowers and embraces its people, a Paradise Regained

Get PDFThis study examined the perceptions that Board Members of human service organizations have of the leadership competencies of professionally trained social workers to lead such organizations. Participants of this study were comprised of 51 executive leaders of nonprofit human service organizations who were selected using non-probability convenience sampling among the target population. The findings of this study indicated that a majority (78.0%) believed that professional social workers are seen as welfare workers. Most respondents (65.3%) disagreed that the media's portrayal of social issues has influenced perceptions of the leadership abilities of social work professionals. The majority of the respondents (78.4%) agreed that nonprofit human service organizations are required to be more accountable today and as a result all leaders of these organizations should possess training and experience similar to those of professionals in business, legal, or public administration arenas.

Get PDFAn analysis of socialist development in Tanzania from 1961 to 1985, 1997
Get PDFThis thesis examined former president of Tanzania Julius Nyerere's development philosophy which rejected Marxist-Leninism for traditional African emphasis on communal living, decentralized decision making, and self-reliance. Through the Arusha Declaration, the commitment to socialism and self-reliance (1Ujamaa na Kujitegemea) was introduced. The purpose of this study is to analyze Tanzania's form of Socialist Development based on Ujamaa na Kujitegemea, African socialism and self-reliance, as stated in the Arusha Declaration. A comparison analysis approach was used to examine data from 1961 to 1985 to ascertain whether or not Tanzania was able to achieve Kujitegemea or self-reliance. Kujitegemea is the variable that will be used to measure the success rate of socialist development in Tanzania from 1961 to 1985. The data were obtained from Africa South of the Sahara 1986 and 1994. The Statesman's Year-Book. Country Profile - Tanzania. World Tables A World Bank Book, the 1986 and 1990 World Population Data Sheet and The Europa Year Book 1963 and 1986. The first criterion for judging the success of Ujamaa 's performance was operationalized by the Quality Life Index (QLI) which has three prime indicators: infant mortality, life expectancy, and the level of literacy. The second criterion used for judging Ujamaa's success was based on orthodox economics. Orthodox economics, also, has prime indicators: gross national product (GNP), gross domestic product (GDP), trade balance and the growth of national budgets. The researcher found that although Ujamaa na Kujitegemea was successful in terms of the QLI, in orthodox economic terms, Ujamaa na Kujitegemea was not very successful in reaching self-reliance. The conclusion drawn from the analysis suggests that factors outside of Tanzania's control had a major impact on the economy
