When the streams suddenly run dry in Ani Mmadu, the people know it is time to atone for a sin that goes back to the very beginning of their world, the consequence of the rebellion of one woman against the all-powerful and unforgiving, jealous god. To avert this catastrophe and for the waters to flow and nourish the farms again, the people must send a child of Aja, chosen by the Oracle, into the Forest of Iniquity, to atone for that great sin. It falls on young Adanne to save her people this time. But the Ajas sent into the dreaded forest tend never to return. Is Adanne the long-awaited one who will buck the trend and end the suffering of her people? This is an extraordinary novel bursting with kaleidoscopic worlds and beings.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For more than two decades, poetry anthologies in African literature have navigated the shared world of African identity or living in the continent of Africa without capturing comprehensively the lifeworld of African cities. African Urban Echoes is a gathering of poets, including notable Canadian poets such as Jumoke Verissimo, Uchechukwu Umezurike, James Yeku and the Griffin Poetry Prize winner, Tolu Oloruntoba, that seek to contribute to the echoes of resistance, hope, and anxieties all produced simultaneously by African urban centers in their polyvalences and unique characters. Poets from different African countries evoke detailed portraits of lives as cities and cities as lives. They compel us to see both the defined and undefined beauties of African cities through sublime experiences captured in disparate forms and network of images in this anthology. They immerse their readers in marginal realities of urban citizenship and turn them to witnesses of both familiar and unfamiliar landscapes from Lagos, Lome, Johannesburg to Tunis, and of places that are inevitably part of their stories as pilgrims, as travelers settling and leaving.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The generational debate in Nigerian poetry has been shaped by the interventions of such anthologies as Voices from the Fringes (1988), edited by Harry Garuba, Poets in their Youth (1988), edited Uche Nduka and Ositadinma Ike, Gems Out of Africa: A Wake Anthology of 100 Nigerian Poets (1998), edited by Eddie Ayo-Ojo, Obafemi Obadare and Mac Amarere, and Camouflage: Best of Contemporary Nigerian Writing (2006) edited by Nduka Otiono and Odoh Diego Okenyodo. Featuring the Governor General award-winning Nigerian-Canadian poet, Tolu Oloruntoba, and other notable poets resident in Canadian, Unbound is such an agenda-setting anthology. But more importantly, it is the first anthology to zoom into the works of the emerging generation of Nigerian poets born in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. The anthology showcases some of the most brilliant as well as struggling members of the new generation of Nigerian poets under the age of forty, most of whom launched their writing careers on social media.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The seven-year apprenticeship of Jasper Okonkwo has finally ended. He sets up a shop in the bustling city of Lagos, aiming to climb the social circles and be reckoned with. But he has not reckoned with his older brother, the envious, greedy, and malicious Zona, who is hellbent on being the lone star in the Okonkwo household. The agitation of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) for independence erupts. The Nigerian government begins to clamp down mercilessly on the dissidents. It is the opportunity that Zona is waiting for. Sons of the East intricately lays bare the dark underbelly of polygamy in an Igbo family in south eastern Nigeria. Beyond the brazen show of material opulence through international businesses, importations, master-apprentice relationships, grandeur titles, lurks the beast of jealousy, chauvinism, covetousness, sibling rivalry and sheer hatred. Zona, the dismal first son is frantic about being the only king installed in the Okonkwo kingdom, yet a delectable widow is on his path. This is a delightful read. Ifeoma Chinwuba remains a chef-d'oeuvre in this engaging narrative. - Unomah Azuah, Poet, Novelist, Activist and Freelance Journalist Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
