Book Synopsis Mandela the Spear and Other Poems by : Atukwei Okai
Download or read book Mandela the Spear and Other Poems written by Atukwei Okai and published by African Perspectives Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strength of Mandela the Spear and other Poems lies in Okais burning desire to celebrate the black experience and culture, through the iconic figures who symbolize those struggles and triumphs. Thus, not surprisingly, one encounters names like Mandela, Nadine Gordimer, Amilcar Cabral, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, to name a few. Okai has long established himself as one of the towering figures in the field of modern African poetry in English. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of a vigorous reinvention of the poetic genre that revolutionized the poet/audience relationship, changed the mode of expression from scriptography to narratology, and the role of the audience from that of passive reception to active participation.

Book Synopsis Fertile Crossings by : Pietro Deandrea
Download or read book Fertile Crossings written by Pietro Deandrea and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2002 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In retracing some of the routes followed by West African literature in English over the course of the last three decades, this book employs an original multidimensional approach whereby the three main genres - narrative, poetry and drama - are considered in the light of their intricate web of fecund rapport and mutual influence.Authors such as Tutuola, Armah, Aidoo and Awoonor translated the fluid structures of orality into written prose, and consequently infused their works with poetic and dramatic resonance, thereby challenging the canonical dominance of social realism and paving the way for the birth of West African magical realism in Laing, Okri and Cheney-Coker.Starting in the 1970s, poetry on stage has become a mainstream genre in Ghana, thanks to performances by Okai, Anyidoho and Acquah.Boundaries between literary theatre and other genres have undergone a similar dissolution in the affirmation of the concept of 'total art' from Efua Sutherland to ben Abdallah, Osofisan and others. Fertile Crossingsoffers a study of these topics from various viewpoints, blending in-depth textual analysis with reflections on the political import of the works in question within the context of the present state of African societies, all supported by interviews with most of the authors.

Book Synopsis Mandela: Echoes of Apartheid and Impunity by : Sam Madugba
Download or read book Mandela: Echoes of Apartheid and Impunity written by Sam Madugba and published by Author House. This book was released on 2015 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandela: Echoes of Apartheid And Impunity is a compilation of 26 humanistic and passion-sustained poems on the Late Dr Nelson Mandela, the defunct Apartheid Regime in South Africa and global human rights struggles. The poems written over a period of 31 years by a Nigerian poet and physician, capture in a compelling chronological sequence, the origin, course, hurts of Apartheid and local and global efforts orchestrated to overcome it. It further portrays the author's vision from the perspectives of man's inhumanity to man, impunity and unnecessary power display by man, white or black, and celebration of such rare virtues as courage, discipline, doggedness and the spirit of forgiveness found in the likes of Mandela, the anti-Apartheid hero, who volunteer to suffer persecutions and abuses in the course of liberating their people. The book which prophesied the capitulation of Apartheid from the outset, proffers solutions to racism and corruption. It ends up on sanguinary note, pontificating that man's liberation is in his hands though divine intervention is necessary and that human rights activism and liberation struggles do not always disappoint since the likes of Mandela and Gani Fawehinmi of Nigeria, though chronically incarcerated, lived to old age, and even idolized by all before death.

Book Synopsis Who Extinguished the Fire? by : James Turyatemba
Download or read book Who Extinguished the Fire? written by James Turyatemba and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Extinguished the Fire And Other Poems is an up-to-date collection of Turyatemba’s verse. The new collection comprises fourteen groupings of poems on a variety of subjects. "The poet has penned poetry of the commonplace—retained the ordinary, local flavours that could be lost when trying to get sophisticated. Turyatemba defies the myth that poetry is complicated and cannot be understood. We can easily recognize both our private and public systems in this collection.” Dr. Mildred K. Barya. “In crafting his poems, Turyatemba makes idiom his mainstay and in so doing he breathes life into the most common sayings. His poems work like riddles throwing perplexing questions at the reader. He truly is in deep conversation with his audience. His wide exploration of the African condition makes an important contribution to both our literary and philosophical thinking.” - Dr. Susan Kiguli. “Coming from a literary student of Economics, these poems are very rich in one of the essential features of poetry – economy. Also rich in figurative or picture language, most of the poems are witty depictions of the nice and nasty contradictions in the physical environment as well as in the personal, cultural, social and political contexts explored by the poet.” - Professor Timothy Wangusa. Cover design by Grace Bithum and Robert Bigirwenkya.

Book Synopsis Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela by : Munzhedzi James Mafela
Download or read book Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela written by Munzhedzi James Mafela and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative anthology of essays, Munzhedzi James Mafela brings together voices that give a radically fresh perspective on the life and work of Nelson Mandela. In a groundbreaking multi-lingual context, contributors view the life of Mandela through the prism of poetry written about him. The poetry-in a number of indigenous southern African languages with translations-is interpreted and analyzed, thus bringing previously scattered, neglected or unknown material into the public domain. This publication is distinguished by its garnering of scholarly research into selected African indigenous poetic works about Mandela. In this way, the volume serves as an appreciation and critical appraisal both of the man and of the poetry about him. The included offerings present a rare and original insight into the life of the man as it unfolds. Together, poets and interpreters weave a wide net, drawing in the interest not only of literary and political science scholars, but also sociolinguists, sociologists, historians, and anthropologists interested in literary anthropology. "A celebration of Nelson Mandela's life and work, challenges and tribulations, through the poetical eye. This book honours Mandela through multilingual southern African poetry-it is an all-inclusive, multicultural poetic mirror to Mandela's being-and appropriately so."--Russel Kaschula, African Languages Association of South Africa, and holder of the NRF SARChI Chair in the Intellectualisation of African Languages, Multilingualism & Education at Rhodes University [Subject: African Studies, Literary Criticism, Poetry, History, Sociology]
