This book is about growing up in a town called Oyo in pre-independence Nigeria. Oyo is known world wide as the cradle of Yoruba civilization dating back over several centuries, with a royal family to which the author's grandmother belonged. Across Nigeria, the town is famous for the cultural inheritance which has been passed from one generation to the next - an inheritance now threatened and fast disappearing because of the globalizing influence of western cultures. This is a dynamic and fascinating story which touches on many vital issues - such as upbringing of children, family values, cultural beliefs, courtship, marriage, polygamy, governance, religion, education, socialisation, fostering, births and deaths, party politics etc. But the author's main motivation is the preservation of the fast-disappearing Yoruba culture for future generations. The book is a testimony to the power of that culture to bring humour, dignity and values to the daily business of life.

This book is about the struggle for political freedom in South Africa over the years as having disintegrated into a struggle against corruption. Solomon Mahlangu, Chris Hani and many others gave their lives only to water the tree of corruption that has destroyed the core South African economy and has set in a new struggle for economic freedom. It chronicles the history of a nation torn asunder by a political theory (apartheid) that diversified an otherwise unitary state. Unlike other Southern African countries namely Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana, South Africa is a multi-racial-cultural state that needs an honest and truthful forgiveness and reconciliation to take its people forward into an economic freedom enjoyed by all and sundry. The book’s focus is a vision aimed at seeing corruption, which agreeably steals from the poor, disintegrating; and a journey beginning to unite the people of South Africa to together build a corruption free society and an economy addressing fundamentals. Papering over the cracks will not help nip our many challenges in the bud. The nature of the problem necessitates a hard hitting nail biting analysis of the truth. Interrogate your thoughts - together let’s build a new South African rainbow nation...

'Soyinka's greatest novel ... No one else can write such a book' - Ben Okri 'A high-jinks state-of-the-nation novel' - Chibundu Onuzo A FINANCIAL TIMES AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR A towering figure in world literature, Wole Soyinka aims directly at the corridors of power as he warns against corruption both of high office and of the soul, with a dazzling lightness of touch and gleeful irreverence. Much to Doctor Menka's horror, some cunning entrepreneur has decided to sell body parts from his hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Already at the end of his tether from the horrors he routinely sees in surgery, he shares this latest development with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne, who has never before met a puzzle he couldn't solve. Neither realise how close the enemy is, nor how powerful. Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a savagely witty whodunit, a scathing indictment of Nigeria's political elite, and a provocative call to arms from one of the country's most relentless political activists and an international literary giant. MORE PRAISE FOR WOLE SOYINKA: 'You don't see the things the same when you encounter a voice like that' - Toni Morrison 'One of the best there is today, a poet and a thinker, who knows both how the world works and how the world should work' - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

In A Continent for the Taking Howard W. French, a veteran correspondent for The New York Times, gives a compelling firsthand account of some of Africa’s most devastating recent history–from the fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, to Charles Taylor’s arrival in Monrovia, to the genocide in Rwanda and the Congo that left millions dead. Blending eyewitness reportage with rich historical insight, French searches deeply into the causes of today’s events, illuminating the debilitating legacy of colonization and the abiding hypocrisy and inhumanity of both Western and African political leaders. While he captures the tragedies that have repeatedly befallen Africa’s peoples, French also opens our eyes to the immense possibility that lies in Africa’s complexity, diversity, and myriad cultural strengths. The culmination of twenty-five years of passionate exploration and understanding, this is a powerful and ultimately hopeful book about a fascinating and misunderstood continent.

Power and Method demonstrates that political activism can and should be infused into the research process. Contesting the traditional assumptions that have dominated thinking about the nature and meaning of research--validity, objectivity and the researcher/"subject" relationship--the volume showcases alternative methods, enabling scholars to make a difference in the lives of classed, gendered and raced "subjects" and grapple honestly and openly with the way power is woven into the research process. Committed to the notion that the challenge to redefine the research process faces not only educational researchers, Power and Method includes contributions from scholars in the allied social sciences and the humanities. Responses from researchers working women's studies, anthropology, sociology and literature conclude each section and highlight common and alternative perspectives on the central themes that run throughout the volume.
