Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Travails of Mudiaga is a novel that teaches the reader that there is ability in disability. The storystates that being disabled does not equate to stagnation and underdevelopment but a surmountablechallenge that refines the individual for the better. This children's story dovetails the humble beginningof Mudiaga's life and the adverse effect of oil exploration and exploitation in the lives of the Niger Deltapeople who are constantly bespattered by oil activities and corruption. Born disabled, Mudiaga isbuffeted with not only the inability to walk but also the useless child who is a burden to his parents.Despite the physical challenges, Mudiaga summons courage and anchors his faith on the power ofeducation and honesty. Eventually, he becomes the shining light and the messiah of his community byidentifying the oil thieves that have brought so much suffering and horror to indigenes of hiscommunity. The arrest of the oil thieves brought peace to the community; so, Mudiaga's act resonateswith the axiom: 'The rejected stone has become the chief cornerstone.'. The Travails of Mudiaga ismust-read for all since it foregrounds the interplay of ecological disaster and human health disorders.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Veiled Currents is an enchanting tale of reinvention, strength and weakness, gain and loss, pollution, climate change, oil exploration and exploitation, environmental struggle, globalisation, and a touch of fate, narrated in a style uncommon in debut novels. Veiled Currents tells the story of a people living in poverty amidst wealth and whose lives have been defined negatively and punctuated with psychological scars by the effects of oil exploration and exploitation in the oil-rich region of Delhara. Tode, the major character in the novel, and some youths of the three affected oil-producing communities (Okan, Kalama and Ajimele) engage in an armed struggle against the military government and multinational oil corporations responsible for the devastation.'Veiled Currents is a novel of profound relevance, addressing themes that resonate deeply with contemporary socio-political and environmental discourses. Its topicality elevates it to the status of a significant and essential read, offering insight and engagement that transcend its pages. For students of literature, the novel presents a rich tapestry of narrative techniques and thematic explorations, making it a valuable resource for academic inquiry and critical analysis. Equally, for book enthusiasts and discerning readers, Veiled Currents stands as a compelling and enriching addition to any literary collection, promising a blend of intellectual stimulation and artistic satisfaction.' - Ogaga Okuyade (PhD), Professor of Post-Colonial Literature, popular culture and new media, Dean Faculty of Arts, Niger Delta State University Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa, Nigeria.
