The Ugandan Tales is set in Uganda and is about the struggles of ordinary Africans against post-independence African rulers that preach freedom and emancipation but have turned into oppressors. This collection of poetry dives deep into topics of police brutality, social injustices, and oppression through the landscape of the tortured cities. Ordinary people seek to reassert their rights against an intransigent regime that is determined to keep them oppressed. The poems chronicle everyday struggles that are faced at the hands of fellow Africans masquerading as Pan-Africanists.

Translating as 'initiation', kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary, between the living and the dead, between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.

Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable second collection follows the course of a 'blood condition' as it finds its way to deeply personal grounds. From the banks of the Zambezi river to London and Leeds, these poems speak to how distance and time, nations and history can collapse within a body. With astonishing lyricism and musicality, this is a story of multiple inheritances—of grief and survival, renewal and the painful process of letting go—and a hymn to the people and places that run in our blood.

Die Bewohner von Kosawa leben in Angst, denn ein amerikanischer Ölkonzern droht das kleine afrikanische Dorf auszulöschen. Öllecks haben das Ackerland unfruchtbar gemacht; Kinder sterben, weil das Trinkwasser vergiftet ist. Den Menschen aus Kosawa werden Versprechungen über Aufräumarbeiten und finanzielle Reparationen gemacht, die nie eingehalten werden, aber die korrupte Regierung bedient nur ihre eigenen Interessen. Die Dorfbewohner beschließen, sich zu wehren. Ihr Kampf soll Jahrzehnte andauern.

When Waties Waring left his wife of 30 years for a "Yankee spitfire", he dropped a turd into the local teacup. Charleston (SC) society banished him forever. He, in turn, became the first federal judge in US history to rule that separate but equal is not equal, the hallmark of civil rights in America. Robert Wintner, the author's, tale begins at Judge Waties Waring's funeral, the day Arthur Covingdale, an up-and-coming attorney, must come to terms with his own vengeful role. This narrative is based on actual events, with the course of history accurately represented.

Ganz in der Tradition der Griots, der afrikanischen Barden, erzählt Al Zanabili diese mythische, gleichwohl modern anmutende Erzählung aus Burkina Faso. Sie handelt vom Wert der Beharrlichkeit und des Mutes: wer diese Tugenden erwirbt, dem winkt das Glück des Jägers. Mit Trommeln, Rasseln, den Früchten des Flammenbaumes und allerlei Perkussion wird die Geschichte von Zankolon, dem Taugenichts, so lebendig, als wäre sie tatsächlich geschehen.

The legends and fairy stories in this book belong to the Yoruba country of Southem Nigeria. They relate the adventures of men and animals, and try to explain the mysteries of nature - why women have long hair, how the leopard got his spots, and so forth. Most of them include very old songs, but these cannot here be given in full.

The author spent several years as an assistant district officer among the Yorubas in Nigeria, and was thus enabled to collect the folklore contained in this book from native sources. The reticence of the natives on religious subjects made it necessary to piece much together from incantations and chance remarks, but it is hoped that the notes will show that no great liberty has been taken with the beliefs of a tribe which inhabits a large area in West Africa.

Your wound is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility. Until the End is full of emotion, but also a lot of which a person can relate to from their own perspective. Love, betrayal, anger, struggle, and finally understanding, all woven together for the listener to meander through. This collection of poetry is a roller coaster of grief, sympathy, and empowerment. It takes you through a journey of different feelings - know that you're not alone - when it comes to the heart.

Here we go again; new project, new game. It is already planned out, the outcome the same; entertain the masses in separate classes with propaganda...
