In my Book, TIMES & TIDES; The Struggles of a continent are pertinent issues that should be checked into detail with a lot of keenness and deep indulgence. For over the years our nations have maintained a downward trend in growth and development in all dimensions; Socio-Cultural, Economic and political. These are the root of the African Problem.

Despite, the problem being African a bigger stake of it was caused by the intrusion of the white colonialists. But has thrived so well amidst African leaders who chose to benefit from the aperture of opportunity rather than strive for the common good of the society. Culture Stability is the greatest strength of the society, it dictates every dimensions that a people trek upon. It informs our governance systems as well as our economies. He that controls your culture has had a great control over your freedom. Our Cultures as the African societies have been discredited and showcased to be weak, barbaric and backward. This has led to loss of confidence in it by the people from African descent. But a people with such a rich history in their sculpture is in no way backward. Several attempts to stamp authority on Africans have been put into place by the opulent west, there has been rampant intrusion of our education systems, Faith structures such that our polytheistic religions that brought a commendable sense to Africans, a divine places that the Black people sought refuge is nolonger sacred.

It is a very expensive form of governance, that makes the society so invested into the process than the result, it has been a major cause of civil disruptions leading to violence and loss of lives.

The Gatekeepers: How the White House ...

KShs3,000.00 KShs2,790.00
What do Dick Cheney and Rahm Emanuel have in common? Aside from polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United States--as did Donald Rumsfeld, Leon Panetta, and a relative handful of others. The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers," wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and--most crucially--enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Each chief can make or break an administration, and each president reveals himself by the chief he picks. Through extensive, intimate interviews with all seventeen living chiefs and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history, showing us how James Baker's expert managing of the White House, the press, and Capitol Hill paved the way for the Reagan Revolution--and, conversely, how Watergate, the Iraq War, and even the bungled Obamacare rollout might have been prevented by a more effective chief. Filled with shrewd analysis and never-before-reported details, The Gatekeepers offers an essential portrait of the toughest job in Washington.

Vagabonds by Eloghosa Osunde

KShs2,190.00 KShs1,890.00
As in Nigeria, vagabonds are those whose existence is literally outlawed: the queer, the poor, the displaced, the footloose and rogue spirits. They are those who inhabit transient spaces, who make their paths and move invisibly, who embrace apparitions, old vengeances and alternative realities. Eloghosa Osunde's brave, fiercely inventive novel traces a wild array of characters for whom life itself is a form of resistance: a driver for a debauched politician with the power to command life and death; a legendary fashion designer who gives birth to a grown daughter; a lesbian couple whose tender relationship sheds unexpected light on their experience with underground sex work; a wife and mother who attends a secret spiritual gathering that shifts her world. As their lives intertwine—in bustling markets and underground clubs, churches and hotel rooms—vagabonds are seized and challenged by spirits who command the city's dark energy. Whether running from danger, meeting with secret lovers, finding their identities, or vanquishing their shadowselves, Osunde's characters confront and support one another, before converging for the once-in-a-lifetime gathering that gives the book its unexpectedly joyous conclusion. Blending unvarnished realism with myth and fantasy, Vagabonds! is a vital work of imagination that takes us deep inside the hearts, minds, and bodies of a people in duress—and in triumph.
