Martyrdom and Other Freedom Poems
ISBN: 9781450251419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This poetry collection, appropriately dedicated "in derision of all the cloned dictators in Africa," is marked by the acerbic irony of the "macabre poet" on various themes emphasizing Africa's dilemma past and present. The titles tell the whole story, from the confusion and contradictions of "The Rabble," idiots called leaders claiming to liberate the people from mental slavery when they, pseudoleaders, are begging for a re-colonization, to "Predators" and "Dogs of War" with people being their own worst enemies. In the midst of such tragedy, the poet finds consolation in the action of a few...

Indigenization of Language in the African Francophone Novel: A New Literary Canon discusses the question of indigenization in the African Francophone novel. Analyzing the prose narratives of Nazi Boni, Ahmadou Kourouma, and Patrice Nganang, this book contends that African literature written in European languages is primarily a creative translation process. Recourse to European languages as a medium of expressing African imagination, worldview, and cultures in fictional writing poses problems of intelligibility. Developed to express and reflect Western worldviews and sensibilities,...

Magnum Opus: A Tribute to Ntarikon

"Magnus Opus: A Tribute to Ntarikon is a scathing indictment of the political status quo in the Republic of Cameroon where the ruling party, the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM), rides roughshod over the populace. In this long poem, Vakunta cries out poignantly against social dystopia and the deplorable moments lived by members of the Social Democratic Front (SDF) at Ntarikon Park on May 26, 1990. One cannot read this poem without feeling the despair and helplessness experienced by members of this political party as they were maimed, killed and reminded that the future...

Gravitas: Poetic Consciencism for Cameroon
ISBN: 9789956764846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Gravitas: Poetic Consciencism for Cameroon is the poet's requiem for the geographical expression code-named Cameroon. Vakunta speaks with the audacity of a daredevil and the certitude of a seer. This long poem has the twin virtues of gravity and clarity of purpose. The poet eschews the banality and sophistry characteristic of poetry for poetry's sake. Passion, sarcasm, and incisive irony are the hallmarks of this long didactic poem. The poet subscribes to Salman Rushdie's pronouncement that a poet's duty is to say the unutterable, name the unnamable, unmask masquerading miscreants...

Straddling the Mungo: A Book of Poems in English and French
ISBN: 9789956558896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A sinister form of oppression, linguistic oppression, is the key ingredient in this rich collection of poems written in both the English and the French languages. Highly charged with political overtones, this anthology awakens the conscience of a society in lethargy, one in which even those who lay claim to superiority display gross incompetence in the management of state and societal affairs. Vakunta raises a strong voice against the wanton abuse of the constitutional provision that protects the Cameroon's official bilingual policy. This collection makes a forceful case that official...

A Nation at Risk: A Personal Narrative of the Cameroonian Crisis
ISBN: 9781469799742 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "A Nation at Risk: A Personal Narrative of the Cameroonian Crisis" should be construed as a requiem for what used to be known as the Republic of Cameroon. The overriding objective of this book is to shine the searchlight on the dysfunctional government of Cameroon under President Paul Biya, a minuscule man and matching mind, endowed with a gargantuan ego. Those who wish to comprehend the apocalypse toward which the Cameroonian nation has been propelled by the rogue government of Mr. Biya would do well to study the minds of the men at the helm. Mr. Biya and his henchmen enjoy playing at and...

Speak Camfranglais pour un Renouveau Onglais
ISBN: 9789956791767 / Francuski / Miękka / 2013 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The poems in this collection are a mirror reflecting the goings-on in the nooks and crannies of the Republic of Cameroon. Crafted in the lingo of the man in the street, these poems speak for the voiceless in Cameroon, for all those who live on the fringe of a rich Cameroonian society. The themes broached are numerous, namely the culture of impunity, the vicious cycle of corruption, abuse of power, influence peddling, rape of the constitution, electoral gerrymandering, and the ineptitude of national bourgeoisie to name but a few. In sum, Speak camfranglais pour un renouveau ongolais is a...

Requiem pour Ongola en Camfranglais: Une Poetique Camerounaise
ISBN: 9789956792917 / Francuski / Miękka / 2015 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Using linguistic stylings as subversive as the messages nestled between the lines, Vakunta's Requiem for Ongola in Camfranglais: Cameroonian poetics presents a scathing critique of the corruption of democracy into "democraziness" running rampant in the "Sick Man of Africa." Written in Camfranglais, this is resistance poetry at its best: 'tokking' through the mouth of the voiceless," the author pulls no punches in condemning the country's roi faineant, the perverted acceptance of feymania, the reduction of the national Constitution into toilet paper, and the general climate of impunity that...

Cry My Beloved Africa is a compendium of essays having as locus the continent of Africa. It comprises insightful observations on the politics, governmental systems, political economy, cultural practices, educational systems and natural phenomena that impact the lives of Africans. True to the tradition of French novelist Stendhal, the author intends this work to serve as a mirror that reflects the day-to-day living of the different peoples that inhabit the fifty-three odd nation-states in Africa. Hopefully, it would serve as a useful pointer not only to the goings-on in contemporary Africa but...
