Deirdre: Women's Place...
http://adpmdeirdrek.blogspot.com/2009/12/womens-place.html
Tuesday, December 22, 2009. Whenever the liberation of women was welcomed as a goal, it came as a top-down decree. According to Kathleen Sheldon, author of. Pounders of Grain: A History of Women, Work, and Politics in Mozambique. These proclamations were usually stated “without benefit of a woman's movement in society” (Sheldon 117). When women's rights were acknowledged within Frelimo, they were usually done so with the belief that the rights would be. 8220; The fifth Conference of the OMM in 1990 addre...

Deirdre: Democracy for Deirdre
http://adpmdeirdrek.blogspot.com/2009/09/democracy-for-deirdre.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. What I find interesting about discussing democracy is how arbitrary the term actually is when you seek to define it. How do you define an idea (or an ideal, for that matter), especially one as multifaceted as democracy? I suppose to start one must think “what does democracy mean to. Then venture from there. I feel strongly about being heard, mainly because more often than not, I am ignored. John Calhoun resonates most deeply,. How ‘free’ is ‘free’? As Maxwell Owusu writes, ...

Deirdre: November 2009
http://adpmdeirdrek.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Only now, since I've been home for a week or so, have I been able to really articulate my feelings or describe my observations. When people ask, How was the trip? I never can really say. Of course it was amazing, but to just say that doesn't tell anyone how the trip really. What is my election day story? I'm sure life (and careers) become just a little harder for that individual. At least that's the impression I got at Eduardo Mondlane. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. And that e...

Minhas aventuras em Moçambique: November 2009
http://ykcinmozambique.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Minhas aventuras em Moçambique. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Honduras - So Much Drama! Honduras voting for new president. Porfirio Lobo is considered the favourite to win. Presidential elections are under way in Honduras, five months after a political crisis ousted President Manuel Zelaya. He was forced from Honduras at gunpoint in June, and replaced by Roberto Micheletti. Neither are candidates. Mr Zelaya has called for a boycott of the election. Voting began at 0700 (1300 GMT) and will last nine hours.

Minhas aventuras em Moçambique: August 2009
http://ykcinmozambique.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Minhas aventuras em Moçambique. Monday, August 24, 2009. Welcome to my Mozambique blog! Last evening was our first class meeting where we were treated to an authentic dinner at Dr. Reid's home at the Park Shelton. I was slightly nervous to meet him at first because he was the university's president and all - but as soon as he opened the door, any feelings of anxiousness disappeared. His warm smile and personality is truly remarkable! Goat Light Soup and Bread Rolls. White Yams and Boiled Eggs. Ds wreakin...

Minhas aventuras em Moçambique: December 2009
http://ykcinmozambique.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Minhas aventuras em Moçambique. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. World AIDS Day 2009. In today's class, Dr. Reid referred me to this article regarding South Africa's new HIV/AIDS policies. After learning about various policy structures from speaking to members of the Ministry of Health in Mozambique, it is interesting to see some of the similarities that President Zuma has mentioned in this article regarding prevention of maternal to child transmission. JOHANNESBURG — President. The alacrity with which the g...

Deirdre: Carrie Manning
http://adpmdeirdrek.blogspot.com/2009/10/carrie-manning.html
Sunday, October 18, 2009. One difference I noticed in the difference between Manning and Pitcher is their focus on the international influences on Mozambique. Where I would say, generally, Pitcher is critical of commercial involvement in Mozambique, Manning views donor participation as a partnership. Perhaps this elite conversational power sharing exists as a response to Frelimo’s power monopoly since 1975. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. On the eve of travel.

Deirdre: Now Thats a Democracy of a Different Color!
http://adpmdeirdrek.blogspot.com/2009/10/now-thats-democracy-of-different-color.html
Thursday, October 1, 2009. Now Thats a Democracy of a Different Color! One similarity I noticed while reading was that the way in which Ron Paul had described America’s multiparty system as being strongly influenced by capitalism, while the rise of Mozambique’s multiparty system coincided with the transition from post-colonial socialism to democratic elections, and thus capitalism. It seems, again, that capitalism and democracy do go hand in hand. Who does the elected Mozambican president answer to?
