ISBN: 9781503337381 / Angielski / Miękka / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A poetry collection of individual and nationhood yearnings from Nigeria. In this poetic telling, human stories expose the transformations this nation and several others in Africa have experienced in the last decade.

At a time when geopolitical, religious and social worldviews bring civilizations eyeball to eyeball, it is an urgent account and an unwrapping of the metaphors that could make for more meaningful dialogues. It...

It argues that the continent deserves to be considered as a crucible for conceptualizing and contextualizing the ongoing influence of colonial policies, the emergence of specific integration and security cultures, the spread of cross-border...

Writing Mystery and Mayhem
ISBN: 9781779222787 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This eighth anthology of twelve short stories from Weaver Press reveals again the range and variety, compassion and humour, irony and tragedy with which Zimbabwean writers observe the world around them. Several writers adopt a tongue-in-cheek approach to the subject: Naishe Nyamubaya takes us behind graphic newspaper headlines with a story of goblins, Jonathan Brakarsh turns the world inside out by constantly reversing our expectations, and Lawrence Hoba draws a situation both 'collateral and incompatible'. It is a characteristic of crime fiction to defy expectation, as Farai Mudzingwa,...
