The Rumble in the Jungle
Author: Lewis A. Erenberg
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022605957X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The 1974 fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, staged in the young nation of Zaire and dubbed the Rumble in the Jungle, was arguably the biggest sporting event of the twentieth century. The bout between an ascendant undefeated champ and an outspoken master trying to reclaim the throne was a true multimedia spectacle. A three-day festival of international music—featuring James Brown, Miriam Makeba, and many others—preceded the fight itself, which was viewed by a record-breaking one billion people worldwide. Lewis A. Erenberg’s new book provides a global perspective on this singular match, not only detailing the titular fight but also locating it at the center of the cultural dramas of the day. TheRumble in the Jungle orbits around Ali and Foreman, placing them at the convergence of the American Civil Rights movement and the Great Society, the rise of Islamic and African liberation efforts, and the ongoing quest to cast off the shackles of colonialism. With his far-reaching take on sports, music, marketing, and mass communications, Erenberg shows how one boxing match became nothing less than a turning point in 1970s culture.

The Fight
Author: Norman Mailer
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0812986121
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaïre, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible “professor of boxing.” The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fighters’ moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailer’s grasp of the titanic battle’s feints and stratagems—and his sensitivity to their deeper symbolism—makes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport. Praise for The Fight “Exquisitely refined and attenuated . . . [a] sensitive portrait of an extraordinary athlete and man, and a pugilistic drama fully as exciting as the reality on which it is based.”—The New York Times “One of the defining texts of sports journalism. Not only does Mailer recall the violent combat with a scholar’s eye . . . he also makes the whole act of reporting seem as exciting as what’s occurring in the ring.”—GQ “Stylistically, Mailer was the greatest boxing writer of all time.”—Chuck Klosterman, Esquire “One of Mailer’s finest books.”—Louis Menand, The New Yorker Praise for Norman Mailer “[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation.”—The New York Times “A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent.”—The New Yorker “Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure.”—The Washington Post “A devastatingly alive and original creative mind.”—Life “Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance.”—The New York Review of Books “The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book.”—Chicago Tribune “Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream.”—The Cincinnati Post

Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change Africa. Indeed it is the only thing that would. Observing the impact that the right people in leadership positions, people who wholly subscribe to servant leadership rather than self-serving leadership has been a great source of inspiration. I experienced first-hand how a few good people have come together and brought positive transformation to businesses, creating excellent shareholder value, money for the community, and income for the employees and government. I am convinced that finding the right leaders in communities, societies, companies, and countries is the fundamental difference between prosperity and poverty. It s the difference between greatness and mediocrity, and the difference between successful and failed states. By making different choices in leadership and putting the right people in the right places, we can lead this continent to achieve its full and glorious potential for the next generation not the next election! This is now a leadership call to action! About the Author: Norman Moyo is the Chief Executive Officer of Helios Tanzania. Born in 1973 in Zimbabwe, Norman has extensive experience in the FMCG, particularly telecommunications industry spanning more than 13 years. He started his career working for Standard Chartered Bank in 1996 and immediately joined the telecommunications industry at the onset of the GSM industry working for Econet Wireless in Zimbabwe in 1998. He later re-joined the telecommunications industry as Commercial Director in Zambia with Celtel International, a Pan African group with operations in 15 African countries in 2004. He primarily focused on business re-engineering, brand equity, segmentation, product development, m-commerce, distribution, and Enterprise Segment management. In 2011 Norman was nominated to the prestigious GTB global top 40 world telecom leaders under 40 years as a result of his work in Nigeria. He holds and Honours Degree in Economics, an MBA from the University of Zimbabwe and London Business school training. His values are legacy, integrity, lifelong learning, work and profit. He is also a keen golfer. Endorsement: This is a must-read for leaders who are seeking meaningful insights into doing business in Africa. The stories and case studies reveal Norman Moyo s deep practical experience, and also link to established management theory and frameworks. Professor Jamie Anderson Lorange Institute (Switzerland) & London Business School (United Kingdom). Named as Management Guru by the Financial Times When it comes to insights as to how good leadership transforms lives, Norman speaks his mind and heart with clear, candid and brutal honesty. He presents a unique and fresh Pan African perspective to the effect of leadership at both corporate and national level. If there is one thing that will be a catalyst for a renaissance in Africa, it is leadership. Tito Alai Chief Commercial Officer, Celtel International Founder Mimi Africa
