The Lemba people regard themselves as Jews or Israelites who migrated southwards into Yemen and later as traders into Africa. Many of their rituals suggest a Semitic influence or resemblances, embedded in an African culture. In 2010, the book was also translated into Venda, an indigenous language within South Africa, and has been reprinted due to popular local demand.

Lemba was a symbol of American antislavery struggle that, with his skill and courage under fire, was able to maintain rebellion for almost fifteen years. His image appears in all the studies on the history of American slavery. The first to mention him was Juan de Castellanos, not on a history treatise but on his huge “Elegy of the Illustrious Men of the Indies.” The poet Castellanos was never in Santo Domingo and learned of Lemba’s exploits in South American soil where the echo of his extraordinary rebellion also arrived. Lemba traveled throughout the entire island in his antislavery actions, eventually dying in a field of San Juan de la Maguana. After a persecution that lasted years and the fear that the mere mention of his name raised among the Spanish slavers, to ease the fear and prove to the inhabitants of the colony he had died, the colonial authorities ordered to amputate his head to show it in one of the entrances to Santo Domingo City.

In 1997, M. E. R. Mathivha, an elder of the black Jewish Lemba people of South Africa, announced to the Lemba Cultural Association that a recent DNA study substantiated their ancestral connections to Jews. Lemba people subsequently leveraged their genetic test results to seek recognition from the post-apartheid government as indigenous Africans with rights to traditional leadership and land, retheorizing genetic ancestry in the process. In Genetic Afterlives, Noah Tamarkin illustrates how Lemba people give their own meanings to the results of DNA tests and employ them to manage competing claims of Jewish ethnic and religious identity, African indigeneity, and South African citizenship. Tamarkin turns away from genetics researchers' results that defined a single story of Lemba peoples' “true” origins and toward Lemba understandings of their own genealogy as multivalent. Guided by Lemba people’s negotiations of their belonging as diasporic Jews, South African citizens, and indigenous Africans, Tamarkin considers new ways to think about belonging that can acknowledge the importance of historical and sacred ties to land without valorizing autochthony, borders, or other technologies of exclusion.

"Beginning in the Lemba villages in South Africa, where he witnesses customs such as circumcision and food taboos that do, indeed, seem Jewish, Parfitt retraces the supposed path of the Lembas' ancestors through Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Tanzania, taking in legendary sights like Zanzibar and the remains of the stone city Great Zimbabwe on his way. His eccentric and enlightening story, blending the ancient romance of King Solomon's Mines and Prester John with contemporary Africa in all its beauty and brutality, makes for an irresistible look at a changing continent. And in a new epilogue, Parfitt examines what light, if any, DNA testing sheds on the Lembas' origins."--Jacket.

The right to exercise one's religion of choice is a right enshrined in most Western Constitutions. Constitutional rights lawyer Ken Sibanda, argues and presents the current dilemma faced by African Jews ( Beta-Israel, Lemba and Igbo) in asserting their identity as Jews under the current set of recognitive laws. Why is it that unlike most Jews of European descent the African Jews, most specifically, must under-go conversions before Israel can affirm what is substantively known. And even after conversion, the African Jew is not assured of equal treatment by Jews of European descent. Sibanda, looks at the case of the Beta-Israel from Ethiopian who were made to convert but are still largely marginalized in all areas of life, including housing, employment and politics.Increasingly the case for African Jews has become one where they must protest the rules or convert. His refusal to convert after centuries of practicing Judiacism is at the center of the facts. And why should he convert - if anything DNA and archaeological evidence has proven that African Jews are indeed who they say they are and that they have been around for a very long time.

"At its core, this is a simple tale of a young boy finding his voice while growing up in a country that was finding its feet."Finding My Voice is an engaging autobiographical account of the intriguing journey a Zambian-born young man ventured on to become one of the most celebrated voiceover artists in Africa. Chilu Lemba's compelling coming-of-age story offers readers an insider's view of not only his hardships and victories but also Zambia's during the '80s and '90s. His written voice is as distinctive as his verbal voice - authentic, expressive, funny and thought-provoking. It is the personal and honest reflection of a life lived as a mischievous child, an actor, a music writer and performer, a radio presenter, a radio station manager and finally, a voice.
