Before Our Eyes
A young woman’s body is found, half dressed, six stab wounds. Her killer’s mission is as
ideological as it is brutal, and his plan hinges on a little bird singing his message to the masses.
Malkia Kadzo is not afraid of using her voice to spark national conversation. It is why she got
into radio. Suddenly, her platform becomes the stage for a battle she never chose.
Detective Zala Maathai is called in to untangle the case. The deeper she digs, the clearer it
becomes that this is no ordinary killing. Every clue is designed to provoke a nation already
divided over power, gender and morality.
As Zala races against time to stop a man who believes murder is a path to redemption, Malkia
must confront the weight of being both a target and a voice, and a question hangs over the
country: What does a society owes its women.
Samahani by Abdelaziz Baraka
Samahani, the latest work by Sudanese author Abdelaziz Baraka Sakin, winner of the 2020 Prix de la Littérture Arabe, means ‘forgive me’ in Swahili, two words that stand in stark contrast to everything that happens in this novel.
Set in 19th century Zanzibar, this is a dark story of slavery, cruelty and vengeance, that depict the agonies of the native Zanzibaris at the hands of both Europeans and Arabs, that turns their apparent island paradise into a living hell of cruelty and exploitation. Through the relationship between a spoilt, scheming, powerful Omani princess and her eunuch African slave Sundus, captured and castrated by Arab slavers, Sakin builds a grand narrative that paints a picture of barbarism and man’s inhumanity to man and becomes a furious cry against persecution in all its forms.

Emperor Haile Selassie by Bereket Hab...
Emperor Haile Selassie was an iconic figure of the twentieth century, a progressive monarch who ruled Ethiopia from 1916 to 1974. This book, written by a former state official who served in a number of important positions in Selassie’s government, tells both the story of the emperor’s life and the story of modern Ethiopia.
After a struggle for the throne in 1916, the young Selassie emerged first as regent and then as supreme leader of Ethiopia. Over the course of his nearly six-decade rule, the emperor abolished slavery, introduced constitutional reform, and expanded educational opportunity. The Italian invasion of Ethiopia in the 1930s led to a five-year exile in England, from which he returned in time to lead his country through World War II. Selassie was also instrumental in the founding of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, but he fell short of the ultimate goal of a promised democracy in Ethiopia. The corruption that grew under his absolute rule, as well as his seeming indifference to the famine that gripped Ethiopia in the 1970s, led finally to his overthrow by the armed forces that he had created. Haile Selassie was an enlightened monarch in many ways, but also a man with flaws like any other. This short biography is a sensitive portrayal of Selassie as both emperor and man, by one who knew him well.
Bereket Habte Selassie is William E. Leuchtenburg Professor of African Studies and Law, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and former attorney general of Ethiopia as well as associate justice of the Supreme Court of Ethiopia.

Wangu Wa Makeri: African Chief by Dr....
Wangū wa Makeri is not an ordinary work. It is a mixture of biography, cultural exposition and Kagombe's own personal account. He adopts an authoritative posture in what is mostly a spirited defence of Wangu wa Makeri, a prominent shaper of Kenyan's history. The value of Kagombe's book is in its details of Giküyü customs. It is a story of inter-linkages of prominent Gīküyü lineages such as Waiyaki, Kenyatta, Wangū. Mücheke and Njindo. He brings up the peculiarities of myths about each of the Agiküyü clans and brings back to life the reputation of Wangū wa Makeri as a chief in colonial times. He brings up rarely known facts about Wangu and a host of many forgotten people. Most important, this book is a how-to instruction manual on Agiküyü customs and a resuscitation of disappearing memories and norms.
A Guide to Building Your House in Ken...
Building a house in Kenya is one of the biggest investments you will ever make — and one of the easiest to get wrong.
Every year, thousands of Kenyan families pour their savings into a home, only to be defeated by land fraud, stalled half-built shells, runaway budgets, demolition orders, or defects that appear within months of moving in. The difference between a build that succeeds and one that fails is rarely money. It is knowledge.
Written by a registered architect with three decades of practice across East Africa, A Guide to Building Your House in Kenya is the complete, plain-language manual that takes you from a bare plot to your Occupation Certificate — and beyond.
Inside, you will learn how to:
• Verify a title deed and sidestep the land-fraud traps that wipe out savings
• Choose and vet your architect, engineer, quantity surveyor, and contractor
• Navigate county planning, NCA registration, and building permits
• Budget accurately — and why your true cost runs 140–160% of the construction figure
• Specify the right materials and catch under-strength blocks, weak concrete, and missing ring beams
• Manage your contractor with payment certificates, retention, and variation orders
• Recognise the defects common in Kenyan homes before they become expensive
• Reach Practical Completion, secure your Occupation Certificate, and protect your home for life
Grounded in Kenyan law, KEBS standards, real KES costs, and county regulations — with a practical checklist closing every chapter.
Whether you are a first-time homeowner, a diaspora investor building from abroad, or a professional entering the construction industry, this is the reference you will return to at every stage of your project.
Build well.
