Book excerpt: A preacher once asked, What makes you believe that you are your mothers child? What proof have you? The same preacher answered the question: The only proof you have is because your mother told you so. And you believe her. The Q&A set me thinking and I arrived at the idea that there could be a possibility where even the mother could not prove that the baby she is holding in her arms is hers. This is the case with Tienas mother who was ranting and raving, How can anybody prove that I am not the mother of the baby I carried in my womb for nine months and had her delivered in a recognized maternity hospital by a qualified midwife, and there are records to show for that? Read all about the story behind Tienas mothers ranting and raving in the book TIENA.

I was treading in unknown waters, having been recently diagnosed HIV positive, so I figured some experience might be required before I spoke up. I have been positive for thirteen years and I am now in my junior year of college with Ashford University pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Social and Criminal Justice, with a minor in Psychology. With that said, I believe that I have the experience to stand up and speak out. My first step is to introduce myself with this simple autobiography. I hope you enjoy reading of my imperfections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greed, frustrated love, traffic jams, infertility, politics, polygamy. These--together with depictions of traditional village life and the impact of colonialism made familiar to Western readers through Chinua Achebe's writing--are the stuff of Nigerian fiction. Bearing Witness examines this varied content and the determined people who, against all odds, write, publish, sell, and read novels in Africa's most populous nation. Drawing on interviews with Nigeria's writers, publishers, booksellers, and readers, surveys, and a careful reading of close to 500 Nigerian novels--from lightweight romances to literary masterpieces--Wendy Griswold explores how global cultural flows and local conflicts meet in the production and reception of fiction. She argues that Nigerian readers and writers form a reading class that unabashedly believes in progress, rationality, and the slow-but-inevitable rise of a reading culture. But they do so within a society that does not support their assumptions and does not trust literature, making them modernists in a country that is simultaneously premodern and postmodern. Without privacy, reliable electricity, political freedom, or even social toleration of bookworms, these Nigerians write and read political satires, formula romances, war stories, complex gender fiction, blood-and-sex crime capers, nostalgic portraits of village life, and profound explorations of how decent people get by amid urban chaos. Bearing Witness is an inventive and moving work of cultural sociology that may be the most comprehensive sociological analysis of a literary system ever written.

Book excerpt: The Apostles run Chicago’s streets. Their leader, “Solemn Shawn” Terson, is the most revered–and feared–man in town. Because of his past exploits, the Apostles have a loyalty among its members that has reached mythic proportions. When Insane Wayne, a former member of the rival gang, the Governors, comes groveling for admission to the coveted Apostles, he’s quickly turned down. His reaction is violent: He shoots a Governor and plants evidence that lays the murder rap on the Apostles, setting off a bloody series of retaliations. Solemn Shawn is ready to give up the gang world. His pregnant girlfriend wants another way of life and the cops are hot on his tail; he knows the time has come to step aside. But he must fight one more street war before handing over the reins of his empire. The head of the Governors has a score to settle with Shawn that dates back to their prison days–and Shawn and the Apostles must fight or flee as the streets around them erupt in violence. . . .

Book excerpt: By the Windham Campbell Prize winner Set in a beautifully rendered 1990s Cape Town, Zo Wicomb's celebrated novel revolves around Marion Campbell, who runs a travel agency but hates traveling, and who, in post-apartheid society, must negotiate the complexities of a knotty relationship with Brenda, her first black employee. As Alison McCulloch noted in the New York Times, "Wicomb deftly explores the ghastly soup of racism in all its unglory--denial, tradition, habit, stupidity, fear--and manages to do so without moralizing or becoming formulaic." Caught in the narrow world of private interests and self-advancement, Marion eschews national politics until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission throws up information that brings into question not only her family's past but her identity and her rightful place in contemporary South African society. "Stylistically nuanced and psychologically astute" (Kirkus), Playing in the Light is as powerful in its depiction of Marion's personal journey as it is in its depiction of South Africa's bizarre, brutal history.

Book excerpt: Where are you, Donezan? That’s the first question Zheann asks as the dragon’s laughter fades from her mind. Over the next weeks, other questions will follow: What do the dragons really want? How do you stop a magical being who cannot die? What will happen when the dragons tire of playing with their prey? Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "life is what happens when you’re making other plans." It’s hard to focus on dragons while trying to find missing friends, to forge an alliance between Med and Rys that will end centuries of hatred, and to stand between those who see her as the solution to their problems and those who see her as the source. But the answers to those questions are their only hope for life and freedom, and that knowledge may cost her everything she holds dear.

Book excerpt: When it comes to family, there’s little Lupita Sanchez won’t do—even if it means throwing herself in the path of a man as feral as his predatory namesake. Julian “Jaguar” Domingas has carved out a violent reputation as one of the most powerful and dangerous drug lords alive. He’s exactly the kind of beast Lupita has learned the hard way to run far, far away from—but desperate times call for insane measures. Jaded and cynical, Jaguar has seen it all when it comes to the multitude of schemers and spies eager for even a taste of his power—and convincing him to help her won’t be easy. Protecting her heart, however, will be child’s play—or so she thinks. After all, what can a man like Jaguar want more than her body? Certainly not her soul… And definitely not her love. El Mundo de Sangre is a world of linked dark romance trilogies. Diamante de Sangre continues where Dinero de Sangre ends. Each trilogy can be read as a standalone, but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Blood Diamond and Blood Debt end with cliffhangers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a diverse and dazzling collection from all over the continent, from Morocco to Zimbabwe, Uganda to Kenya. Helon Habila focuses on younger, newer writers - contrasted with some of their older, more established peers - to give a fascinating picture of a new and more liberated Africa. These writers are characterized by their engagement with the wider world and the opportunities offered by the end of apartheid, the end of civil wars and dictatorships, and the possibilities of free movement. Their work is inspired by travel and exile. They are liberated, global and expansive. As Dambudzo Marechera wrote: 'If you're a writer for a specific nation or specific race, then f*** you." These are the stories of a new Africa, punchy, self-confident and defiant. Includes stories by: Fatou Diome; Aminatta Forna; Manuel Rui; Patrice Nganang; Leila Aboulela; Zo Wicomb; Alaa Al Aswany; Doreen Baingana; E.C. Osondu.

Book excerpt: Be careful what you wish for… Playing the part of Julian Domingas’ latest conquest has its perks—but Lupita Sanchez knows it also comes with a hefty price tag. Mind games and Jaguar go hand-in-hand—with every twisted test of her loyalty, her resolve falters. If only it were as easy to hate him as the others who’ve done her wrong. With every new, twisted game, Lupita finds herself falling further under his spell—but he isn’t the only man aiming to claim her for his own nefarious purposes. And while one might simply want her dead, the other wants something far more dangerous. Like her soul… El Mundo de Sangre is a world of linked dark romance trilogies. Diamante de Sangre continues where Dinero de Sangre ends. Each trilogy can be read as a standalone, but will be better enjoyed if read in order. The first two books in each trilogy end in cliffhangers which will be resolved in book three.

Book excerpt: Perhaps the best-documented epidemic in the history of medicine, kuru has been studied for more than fifty years by international investigators from medicine and the human sciences. This significantly revised edition of the landmark anthropological classic Kuru Sorcery brings up to date the anthropological contribution to understanding disease, the medical research that resulted in two medical Nobel Prizes, and the views of the Fore people who endured the epidemic and who still believe that sorcerers, rather than cannibalism, caused kuru. The kuru epidemic serves as a prism through which to see how Fore notions of disease causation bring into single focus their views about the body, the world of social and spiritual relations, and changes in economic and political conditions-aspects of thought and behaviour that Western medicine keeps separate.
