This is the only dictionary that focuses on Kiswahili synonyms. Drawing from all aspects of life, the authors have collated over 14,000 entries, many of which have varying numbers of synonyms. The dictionary not only brings out the richness of Kiswahili as a language, but it also enriches the reservoir of Kiswahili vocabulary. The authors are distinguished academic linguistic scholars, and the dictionary has been developed bearing in mind both the needs of scholars and teachers, and of learners of the language.

A hilarious and politically-incisive rendering of Said Ahmed Mohamed's singular, widely-read Swahili play, which has been masterfully translated into the English language, creating sparkbursts of outrageous puns, subtle wordplay, jokes, and understated poetry in dialogue between two characters who seamlessly become each other. A groundbreaking first successful translation of Said Ahmed Mohamed's work, in a time when literature from East Africa is seldom translated into English.
