Palgrave's "Deal of the Day" is
Black Nationalist Thought in South Africa: The Persistence of an Idea of Liberation. Hashi Kenneth Tafira is the author.
Description:
This book maintains that South Africa, despite the official end of apartheid in 1994, remains steeped in the interstices of coloniality. The author looks at the Black Nationalist thought in South Africa and its genealogy. Colonial modernity and coloniality of power and their equally sinister accessories, war, murder, rape and genocide have had a lasting impact onto those unfortunate enough to receive such ghastly visitations. Tafira explores a range of topics including youth political movement, the social construction of blackness in Azania, and conceptualizations from the Black Liberation Movement.
While it is called a "Deal of the Day,"
this deal actually is subject to end at nearly any time, based upon the past history of these promotions. In fact, Palgrave announced that the last DoD would be valid "through May 4, 2018." It is not even 12 midnight EST on May 3, at this writing. So, if you are interested in any one of the DoD ebooks, grab it while you can.
One thing that has been consistent with Palgrave's DoDs, however, is the near-stunning markdowns on the ebooks. This kind of book (academic, scholarly, esoteric to one degree or another) is one that rarely gets marked down except for perhaps a smidgen. This present ebook has a list price of $89.00, but is currently
$9.99! Doing some quick math in my head (okay, I'm lying--I'm having to do some quick punching on a calculator's keys.
), I find that to be an 89% discount! (I know, of course, that if the book's not on a subject that you're interested in, or you don't need it for a school class, it won't matter how cheap or deeply discounted it is
).
Well I've skipped some pertinent details about the ebook, but you can take a gander at
the book's webpage to find out those.
