While African regimes are more liberal than their authoritarian predecessors, they have a profound flaw. The African governments have increasingly adopted important aspects of constitutional liberalism necessary for democracy to flourish and includes rule of law, private property rights, separation of powers and free speech and assembly. However, the results of such democratic initiatives have not bored the intended fruits as the continent continue to witness outright reversals of democracy. For instance, elections are becoming a means of power preservation and a large number of countries have very low levels of democratic quality. This paper, therefore,...

Following the end of colonial era and the resulting freedom of previously colonized people, many countries have been struggling to live together as the nation which their erstwhile colonial masters made them. This has often resulted to conflicts and crises, the worst of it being the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Due to these  incidences, social researchers have intensified efforts in designing programs that will facilitate the very act of nation-building/or prevent a devastating effect that may re...

International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS) Web page URL: https://airccse.com/ijhas/index.html SLEUTHING WOMEN:GENDER IN THE ART OF JAPANESE DETECTIVE FICTION AND FILM Authors Xichen Wang Abstract Although it remains one of the most popular genres worldwide, detective fiction is usually regarded as a purely commercial form. Because of this, detective novels, short stories, and films are rarely subjected to the same critical scrutiny and attention as other, more respected modes of writing and representation. Nevertheless, because of its attention to the character of everyday life, detective fiction is a perfect case study for determining national attitudes towards gender. Generally speaking, women perform three different functions in Japanese detective fiction. They are either hapless victims, minor plot devices, or (on rare occasions) agents of detection themselves. This paper surveys several works of detective fiction, ranging from the early- to mid-twentieth c...

Music inflames the mind and is the key to creativity. Music practices have drawn the attention of many scholars fascinated with their creative properties in both musical and non-musical domains. With particular reference to Shijiazhuang (the capital and largest city in northern China’s Hebei Province), this study aimed to examine the under-researched connection between gender, education, and creative music practices (broadly described as music as a culture of imagination and real-time practice in the learning of diverse music styles and in the participation of music activities in formal and informal learnin...
