Story
Professor Hakim Adi draws on a variety of published works in Black Voices on Britain, all of which describe powerful experiences: James Gronniosaw and his family endure poverty, illness and unemployment; Mary Prince is driven out by her cruel owners and turns to London charities for help; Frederick Douglass, on a lecture tour around Britain, reveals how the Christian clergy built churches with slave-owners’ money and William Wells Brown gives his impressions of England as he travels around a country which welcomes him more readily than America.

Story
The author spent several years as an assistant district officer among the Yorubas in Nigeria, and was thus enabled to collect the folklore contained in this book from native sources. The reticence of the natives on religious subjects made it necessary to piece much together from incantations and chance remarks, but it is hoped that the notes will show that no great liberty has been taken with the beliefs of a tribe which inhabits a large area in West Africa.

Story
Whether or not we realize it, affirmations are already part of our daily dialogue with others and with ourselves. Whatever we speak, proclaim, or declare is coming from a place of belief and acceptance, that what we have said already is, or will be so. Unfortunately, not all of our affirmations are positive, and over time we get stuck into habits of affirming in our lives the very things we do NOT desire.

Behind Enemy Lines is a collection of stories about ordinary people and anti-heroes dragged into a search for meaning in their lives - whether it is a simple search for identity and love or a bigger struggle for Africa's political freedom. The canvas of their actions, motivations, and circumstances is a Zimbabwe of the past, present, and future. Humorous, acerbic, funny, and tragic, the stories cover the whole gamut of emotions.

The legends and fairy stories in this book belong to the Yoruba country of Southem Nigeria.

Story
The first genocide of the 20th century, though not well known, was committed by Germans between 1904-1907 in the country we know today as Namibia, where they exterminated thousands of Herero and Nama people and subjected the surviving indigenous men, women, and children to forced labor. The perception of Africans as subhuman - lacking any kind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion - and the resulting justification for the violence against them is what author Elizabeth R. Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze", an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis.

Story
In ärmlichen Verhältnissen im Süden Afrikas aufgewachsen, heiratet Mary einen Farmer. Doch das weiße Paar hat sich wenig zu sagen, und der finanzielle Ruin rückt Jahr für Jahr näher. Als ein schwarzer Farmarbeiter als Diener ins Haus geholt wird, wird Mary für ihr rassistisches Verhalten bestraft. "Afrikanische Tragödie" erzählt nicht nur die Geschichte einer missglückten Ehe, sondern demonstriert die erstickende Kraft kolonialer Herrschaft in Rhodesien, dem heutigen Simbabwe. Eva Mattes liest den 1950 erschienenen Debütroman von Doris Lessing, die selbst in Rhodesien aufwuchs und 2007 den Literaturnobelpreis erhielt.

Free-spirited innocence meets the dark and mysterious in this interracial romance. When Rain Handa's visa to join her fiancé in the UK is denied, she accidentally bumps into the visa officer, Darien Mitchell, who denied it. He is cocky and unapologetic. Her angry reaction to him is expected. What she doesn't see coming is the chemistry that surges between them. He is dangerous, and not just because falling in love with him would be stupid on a good day. He is dangerous because she is a good girl, trying to follow all the laws of life and he is the complete opposite.
