My Soul Begins to Flower by Kingwa Ka...
The poems span a 20 year period. Structured in three sections - the caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly metamorphosis stages - they capture the writers personal 'heroes’ journey'. Her experience of breaking and remaking, the different stages and states of her soul’s growth.

They however also bow to love, offering a perspective of the universe as a stage for love-making (all the worlds a stage – as Shakespeare put it), life as an exercise of connecting, gestating and reproducing.

Africa 🌍 is a blessed continent and we just need to tell own story. This is a good-to read book.

Never Say Die: The Chronicle of a Pol...
"... I saw lamentations of inmates who had passed through the pipeline. Some had just decided to put their names down and announce that they were in a cell at one time. Others had inscribed phrases like: 'Expect no mercy, 'South Africa is here, 'Not yet uhuru' and 'I am lost'. I added mine: "NEVER SAY DIE"- Wanyiri Kihoro
At 2.30 a.m. on the morning of 30th July, 1986, a squad of police officers from Changamwe Police Station, Mombasa, stormed Wanyiri Kihoro's residence. They conducted a house search that did not yield anything incriminating, but this was the beginning of a long stretch of confinement for Wanyiri Kihoro. Over the next five days, he was moved from police station to police station, from city to city, without ever being charged. He spent seventy days in subterranean darkness- nude, starved, assaulted and waterlogged; he was in detention for nine hundred and fifty-six days.
In this book, Wanyiri Kihoro relives the 1035 days he spent at the mercy of a security system gone berserk, at the height of a crackdown on political dissent during President Moi's dictatorial regime. His struggle to survive, his will to stay alive and his desire for justice made this ordeal the most sensational security, diplomatic and judicial quagmire in post-independence Kenya.
THE ENDANGERED SPECIES-How Society is...
A silent crisis is sweeping across generations—one we can no longer ignore.
Boys are struggling in school while girls thrive. Young men are dropping out of society, battling addiction, crime, and depression. The traditional family unit is crumbling, and fatherhood is in decline. From shifting gender roles to educational biases, from foreign cultural influences to declining birth rates, the foundations of masculinity are being reshaped—often with unintended and devastating consequences.
In The Endangered Species, Winstone Sharrad probes deep into the forces eroding the identity of men. Backed by cutting-edge research, biblical wisdom, and global case studies, this book unpacks the real reasons why modern men are struggling—and, more importantly, how we can reverse the tide.
This isn’t just a book; it’s a wake-up call. A rallying cry. A roadmap for restoring balance. Whether you’re a parent, educator, church leader, policymaker, or a man searching for purpose in a confusing world, The Endangered Species offers the clarity, insight, and practical solutions we all desperately need.
Will we stand by as masculinity fades into irrelevance, or will we fight to restore a generation on the brink of being lost?
Inside the Presidency: Trials and Tri...
Inside the Presidency: the Trials and Tribulations of a Zambian Spin Doctor is a captivating chronicle of the goings on at the centre of state power as told by an insider. It captures the intrigues at the presidency, specifically associated with the author's time serving retired President Rupiah Banda.
The book tells of President Banda's ascendancy to the presidency following the death of Levi Mwanawasa. Telling it as it was, Jere paints well the roles of a number of players in supporting the president's quest to meet his mandate to the Zambian people. This is a first-hand account of the operations of the presidency as well as the challenges (and later failure) by Banda to secure a second term of office. It gives insights into the in the then ruling party, the president's own beliefs and approach to politics, and how the opposition took advantage of these to defeat an otherwise accomplished president.
The book is a window into policy positions, international relations, government bureaucracy and political manoeuvers in high office. Several decisions, popular and unpopular, are laid bare as is their rationale and impact. It paints a picture of the fire-fighting between government positions and public perception and further shows the inter-play of all this with opposition parties and the press.
The Footfalls of My Heart
Footfalls of My Heart is a long narrative poem that draws style, idioms and expression from the culture, traditions, and philosophy of the Abagusii community of Kenya through the lens of a girl as she inches along toward marriage. In the community, marriage was a complex, long-drawn and tedious process that involved many parties including the families of the two, and peers of both the bride and groom, among many other key players. Throughout the process ran the concept of the ideal desirable partner. This poem captures the bride’s perspective of the groom, Rimura, depending on the many aspects deemed to define the ‘perfect’ rimura. Nyamwange’s Footfalls of My Heart is a bride’s response to his earlier publication, The Girl of Red Beauty which presented a bride’s dreams of an ideal wife, in the tradition set by Okot p’Bitek’s twin publications, Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol.
What Others Say
"This is truly beautiful. I enjoyed the stream of consciousness and wordplay, which powerfully built up the feeling behind the words. I love how the author writes with some alliteration and sensory descriptions.
I loved the imagery here:
‘The ring of bellyful laughter,
‘The beaming of a full moon on my face’
Is this a poem or a story I can't even tell!!! Why not both? It feels like the subject matter happened once upon a time.”
- Chasejameson Manar Spears, Poet, Oakland, California, USA
“The author has set a high standard to which African poetry should be written. Taking after Okot p’Bitek, the author has, however, heightened the language and the condensation of the expressions.”
– Dr. Chris Okemwa, lecturer, Kisii University and poet
Maasai Education and Social Change by...
This important study delves into the cultural politics leading to low literacy levels in Maasai land in the colonial period and the early post-independence years. It's approach to pedagogy does not side step the politics of education– local, Regional, international and the dynamics that conspire to limit what is taught when, where , how and by whom. Chief among these is the politics of (dis) placement and land grabs leading to the systematic marginalisation.
The book allows the reader to see what was gained in the pursuit of western education, what was lost, and what has been artfully woven into modern Maasai identities from a blending of school– formal education and its socioeconomic outcomes– with home – the logic of pastoralism in old Maasai way of Knowing.

Gusii Misiri Migration, Rainmaking, S...
This book is about the Abagusii, Gusiiland, sacred places, sacred people, and religious activities of the community. My late father, William Tinega Mwancha (1928-1994) used to say, “Ntwe basinto b’Oiroba”, meaning, we (human beings) are sons and daughters of the ground (soil). We were formed from the soil and we will eventually return to the soil. For this reason, traditional Gusii elders regard the soil on which they live as sacred.
It is therefore in this regard that any literature dealing with the Gusii must demonstrate an understanding of who the Gusii are beginning with their origin, migration and settlement in the land they dearly love and regard as holy. This is why the Gusii Misiri origin, rainmaking, shrines and divination have endeavoured to document what can be summed as the social life of the community.
Apart from land (soil), the Gusii have special places, items and people that they regard as sacred. Ngoro ya Mwaga, Sakagwa shrine and Igena monto are only a few sacred places and items discussed in this book. Among the many religious specialists in Gusii, the book explores the life and works of Iriasi the 20th-century Gusii rainmaker. Iriasi was allegedly said to be intersex, a condition considered by many people of his time as uniquely religious. To his contemporaries, Iriasi was created that way to perform unusual tasks such as rainmaking, divination, and prophecy.
Further to Iriasi’s nature and religious work, the book demonstrates the relevance of some traditional Gusii religious practices such as divination in modern times.
