Drumbeats is the first novel in a trilogy and follows 18 year old English student Jess through her gap year in West Africa. It's a rite of passage novel set in the mid-1960s when Jess flees her stifling home background for freedom to become a volunteer teacher and nurse in the Ghanaian bush. Apprehensively, she leaves her first real romantic love behind in the UK, but will she be able to sustain the bond while she is away? With the idealism of youth, she hopes to find out who she really is, and do some good in the world, but little does she realise what, in reality, she will find that year: joys, horrors, tragedy. She must find her way on her own and learn what fate has in store for her, as she becomes embroiled in the poverty and turmoil of a small war-torn African nation under a controversial dictatorship. Jess must face the dangers of both civil war and unexpected romance. Can she escape her past or will it always haunt her?

This dark fantasy set in Africa is a collaboration between a New York Times–bestselling author and the drummer from the multi-platinum rock band, Rush. A chilling tale of African drums and human souls from #1 international bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson and legendary Rush lyricist and drummer Neil Peart. Early in their three decades of correspondence, Neil Peart sent Kevin J. Anderson extensive descriptions and travelogues of his adventures bicycling solo across Africa. Peart painted a vivid and unsettling landscape as memorable as the lyrics to his songs. Anderson, award-winning and bestselling fantasy and science fiction author, used those descriptions as the backdrop for plotting an intense, atmospheric dark fantasy story that followed Peart’s experiences, though with a much more ominous twist. The two used their respective strengths to weave a memorable tale that will linger long after the last page. This special illustrated edition includes Anderson’s new introduction, written after Peart’s death on January 7, 2020, as well as the original Afterword Peart wrote for the story.

Dixon's translation of Fabre's Le Theatre Noir Aux Etats-Unis assesses contemporary black theatre since 1945. Placing it in historical and cultural context as a platform for political statement, Fabre isolates two emerging strains: the militant theater of protest and the ethnic theater of black experience. She provides examples and analyzes obscure as well as well-known plays by militant writers such as Amiri Baraka, Douglas Turner Ward, Ted Shine, Ben Caldwell and Sonia Sanchez, who examine relations between blacks and whites and tell stories of victims, rebels and traitors and of rituals of vengeance. She also examines the theater of black experience embracing the rituals of daily life, the liturgy of the black church, traditional music and folklore, and the works of James Baldwin, Melvin Van Peeples, Ed Bullins and Edgar White, and predicts the future of black theater in the United States.

The moon is high and round. Its silvery light washes over and illuminates all in the homestead. In the centre of the homestead is a small bonfire. Some women are roasting corn and pears. Not far from the bonfire, sat a group of children and adults. The attention of the group is focused on the old man with a cow tail flung casually over his left shoulder. The group is expectant. Their concentration is total. The night has gone suddenly very quiet. The old one clears his throat noisily. "e;Chapkrii"e; he bellows with a gesticulation of his left hand."e;Waaaaarrri"e;, the listeners reply in chorus."e;Once upon a time"e;, he begins, drawing out the words slowly."e;And time came upon time,"e; the group replies. "e;The tortoise and the he-goat used to be best friends,"e; began the old man, a dry smile of superior wisdom on his lower lip. The above is one of the many traditional African storytelling scenes, which Wooden Gongs and Drumbeats seeks to recapture. Funny, witty, light-hearted and highly amusing, Dahi also brings together some of the idioms and proverbs commonly used in Africa. These are, as they say, the salt with which prudent speakers spice words and statements. Their measured and apt usages are also widely regarded as the hallmarks of sober oratory. A must-read to all interested in understanding the African worldview!
