Coming in From the Cold

An Autobiography

Field-leading experts Andrew Bowman, Hazel Gray, and Reena Das Nair offer an empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated, open access political-economic analysis of how states across Africa are responding to rapidly industrializing food systems while balancing job creation, economic inclusion, nutrition, climate change, and environmental sustainability priorities. Drawing on over 200 in-depth interviews with firm owners in South Africa and Tanzania, the authors provide narrative insights into firm histories, value chain relations, and policy contestations, bringing theoretical debates to life through the stories of firm owners and their struggles to survive and thrive. What emerges is a much-needed insight into the into policy effectiveness in the mid-section of food value chains, where the state can promote capability-upgrading in small firms in order to deliver on their multiple, overlapping, and sometimes competing policy priorities around justice and sustainability. At the same time, the book's findings counter universalizing narratives about economic development in Africa by highlighting the very different development trajectories different states are taking in response to the ever-increasing demand for processed food. All of this appears in sharp relief through the theoretically innovative lens that eschews macroeconomic analysis in order to emphasize the political economy drivers of demand and consumption. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI.

Les arnaqueurs sont en ville

When every road was barricaded by bullets and betrayal, they carved a path through fire. In the shadow of dictatorship and on the brink of annihilation, a new generation of Rwandans chose the unthinkable-not for glory, not for conquest, but for survival and the hope of dignity restored. Option Z: The Last Road to Freedom tells the epic, harrowing, and ultimately triumphant story of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)- from exile and despair to a disciplined liberation movement that dared to reclaim the soul of a broken nation. Through vivid accounts of key battles, secret negotiations, international indifference, and unyielding resolve, this book traces the final chapters of Rwanda's darkest hour-and the light that emerged from its depths. Blending history with human testimony, strategy with sacrifice, and memory with meaning, Option Z is more than a military chronicle-it is a tribute to courage, unity, and the moral clarity of choosing justice when silence seemed the safer path. "This is not just the story of a war-it is the anatomy of a people's last hope, told with clarity, compassion, and fierce conviction." Whether you're a student of history, a seeker of justice, or simply drawn to stories where human will defies impossible odds, Option Z: The Long Road to Freedom offers an unforgettable window into the soul of Rwanda.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book offers practical insights into the transformative role of digital technologies, frugal innovations, and technology entrepreneurship in achieving sustainable human development. By examining how these elements contribute to development-oriented policies, the book highlights their impact on productive activities, job creation, creativity, and the growth of micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises. It also emphasizes the importance of equitable economic growth, environmental regeneration, and empowerment through increased participation in decision-making.
Key issues explored include the integration of digital technologies in development strategies, the potential of frugal innovations to drive economic growth, and the role of technology entrepreneurship in fostering sustainable practices. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis by drawing on economic, political, and cultural lenses, offering readers a nuanced understanding of these complex dynamics.
The book aligns with and contributes to the targets of SDG 8: ‘Decent work and economic growth,’ and is ideal reading for graduate and postgraduate students, academic practitioners, and research professionals. It is an essential addition to the libraries of scholars and practitioners interested in the intersection of technology, innovation, and development.

Au Bout Des Larmes

'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Painand Say Nothing'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.
