KISA: An Anthology of African Short S...

KShs1,500.00
  • Presenting a diverse and dazzling collection from all over the continent—from South Africa to Nigeria, to Uganda, to Kenya, KISA is the voice of younger, new-age African writers who give a fascinating picture of a new and more liberated Africa. These writers are motivated 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 society and the African culture. They are liberated, global, and expansive. As Aminatta Forna wrote, “If you want to know a country, read its writers." These are the stories of a new Africa: punchy, self-confident, and defiant.

Of Deadbeats, Bastard Children and Pagan Wives is a bold anthology that gathers voices from across the continent to tell the stories that linger in silence—stories of shame, survival, rebellion, and reckoning. Here, forgotten children speak, abandoned women rise, and the ghosts of family and faith return with questions no one wants to answer. This collection peels back the layers of respectability to reveal what lies beneath: the chaos of love, the ache of rejection, the rage of the misunderstood, and the unexpected beauty in being seen. Each story crackles with emotional honesty, giving life to characters we know but rarely acknowledge. These are the truths whispered behind closed doors. These are the stories we dare not tell, but must.

Unfit for Society by Munira Hussein

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,000.00
From the problems of the girls and women grappling with the challenges of living in a patriarchal culture to the allure of terrorist groups, Munira Hussein writing in the voice of what one of her characters describes as the children of the north brings a unique perspective from a region of Kenya which, despite its rich cultural traditions, is mostly associated in the popular imagination, with all the wrong things; violence, insecurity and underdevelopment. This compelling collection of stories from a young and upcoming writer shows there is more. Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, it celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time. Recently shortlisted for the African Writers Award for the short story Powder in the Wind, Ms. Hussein has the grit to curve herself a niche in the literary sphere and Unfit for Society is only but the first word in what promises to be a fruitful writing career.

TURKANA PROVERBS, WISE SAYINGS AND ID...

KShs3,500.00
African scholars are being called upon to write, recover and preserve the African past which was for a long time dominated by foreign scholars who wrote about the continent selectively. This book, Turkana Proverbs, Wise Sayings and Idioms, stands as a pivotal initiative amidst a collective effort by Turkana literary scholars to propel the preservation, exploration, and promotion of intangible cultural heritage of the Turkana people. Within the Turkana community, knowledge is traditionally transmitted through oral literature. Proverbs, wise sayings and Idioms, serving as conduits of amassed cultural wisdom and life experiences, offer invaluable insights into human behaviors, addressing aspects like greed, ignorance, procrastination, and susceptibility to deception. Regrettably, these proverbs, wise sayings and idioms, a treasured heritage of the Turkana people, face the threat of extinction due to the burgeoning influence of Western education and the encroachment of external cultures. The book is based on field research and experiential views of the author who was born and has lived in the community. Readers from all disciplines will find the book useful. Areas studies, especially on Africa, and all related disciplines will find the book relevant.
