BOOKS - 2006 JOSEPH – A RASTA REGGAE FABLE
SYNOPSIS
MacMILLAN SERIES PREFACE In the persona of Sister Ashanti, Barbara Blake Hannah – Makeda Levi to her fellow Rastas – has written a novel which not only tells the gripping and highly dramatic story of a reggae superstar, but also explores and explains much of the Rasta reasoning and motivation which can appear mystifying to the unbeliever. Hannah writes in a lively colloquial style, freely but readably incorporating the unique Rasta use of language, and her characters are warmly drawn. JUDY

Welcome
to home-schooling! Welcome to a bright new world of possibilities for
parents and their children! Welcome to a whole new way of learning and
growing and sharing and living together as a family! Congratulations
on your decision to home-school! Home-schooling
is not just something parents do to or for their children. Home-schooling
can be a process the entire family goes through together. It can be
a way of discovering new ways to look at what we do and why we do it.
The academics of home-schooling are relatively simple and straightforward,
no matter which method of learning your family chooses. If you are considering home-schooling your children, you’ve probably got a lot of questions. Some basic questions, such as whether home schooling is legal, where can you find the right curriculum, what about socialization, and whether kids need to be tested, are all addressed in this book.
