The Iron Snake – Lenjo Maza
“... crosses our lands, from the lake of salt to the lands of the great lake to quench its thirst."
The Nandi seer, Kimnyolei predicted the coming of the "Lunatic Express" over a hundred years ago.
Thousands died toiling to build it. Twenty-nine devoured by the man-eater lions at Tsavo.
The railway still crosses the land. Its thirst remains still very much unquenched. In the sun-baked valley of Bomani, the railway is more than just iron and gravel, it is the restless artery slicing through the red earth, carrying the wealth of the outside world while leaving the local people in its dust.
For twelve-year-old Ada, the railway bridge is a secret sanctuary, a place to map the world alongside her teacher’s lessons and ancient prophecies. For Mwawuda, a tired police officer weary of twenty-four years under an unyielding system, the outpost is a quiet refuge from a world that broke his ambitions. And for Msee wa Nduthi, a hardened stage rider desperate for a way out of the dust, the tracks represent the dangerous line between survival and ruin.

ESCAPE ROOM
Joseph-The Burden of Being Chosen
A story of betrayal. A journey of suffering. A purpose beyond imagination. Joseph did not ask for the dreams, the coat, or the jealousy of his brothers. He did not choose the pit, the chains of slavery, or the years he spent forgotten in an Egyptian prison. Yet through betrayal and exile, an unseen hand was shaping him towards a purpose he could not have imagined—until the day his brothers stood before him, not knowing the man they had wronged now held their lives in his hands. Drawing on the account of Genesis 37–50, Dr. Kigundu Ndwiga brings Joseph’s story to life with rich imagination and spiritual depth: the ache of the coat torn from his shoulders, the cold of the pit, the long silence of the forgotten years, and the trembling moment when mercy becomes possible. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20

A Wise One, a Warrior: Objects Talk B...
A narrative of the early modern Indian sculpture known as the Mithuna couple.
Meena Kandasamy writes about the Mithuna couple, a seventeenth-century ivory sculpture from Tamil Nadu, India, depicting lovers. Kandasamy unfurls a multi-layered, multi-directional narrative built from images, questions, and contradictions evoked by the sculpture. “How can we look at this work and not talk about who produced it?” Kandasamy asks and then examines how caste and class are carved into the object as indelibly as its physical details. Such knowledge complicates easy associations of love that may be evoked by the couple.
Refusing any impulse to idealize or exoticize, Kandasamy connects the carving to personal and political stories that expose painful realities of who gets to love whom, and how. She sets the intimate alongside the institutional to interrogate terms such as decolonize, restitution, and preservation. Through an astonishing stylistic mix, including Twitter, academic discourse, poetry, and memoir, she talks back, forward, and sideways with the object.
Eluid Mahihu: My Story: In the corrid...
THE VOICES OF THOSE WHO have played critical roles In leadership and administration in Kenya are rarely heard after they have left the stage. Many have carried the memories of their personal stories with them to the grave. Gone with them are significant elements of the collective story, and the institutional national memory. It has been left to commentators and sundry writers to frame them in various ways, depending on the intended purposes for each frame.
In this volume, Eliud Mahihu breaks the ranks with those who served in his times, to give a candid rendition of his experience in the corridors of power, spanning wide times across the British colonial rule, the Jomo Kenyatta regime and the Daniel Arap Moi years. Mahihu was especially in his element in high level decision making spaces during the 15 years of the Jomo Kenyatta government
The reader of the Mahihu story has a rare opportunity for incursion into this first-hand narrative on the life and times of one of the people who were at the centre of power in some of Kenya’s most defining moments and happenings. The rendition is crowned by eye-witness accounts and participatory narratives that capture the Jomo Kenyatta State House, and the eventual passing on of the country’s founding president on 22 August 1978, and the aftermath.

The Great Leap: Solomonic Economics: ...
How does one prepare for a life of consequence? And what separates a leader from a schemer?
In this unflinching memoir, Olemo Gordon Brian traces twenty years of formation — from Apac, northern Uganda, to Johannesburg, South Africa — through the classrooms, dormitories, and debate halls of some of Africa's most elite institutions.
Leaders or Schemers is a reckoning with what those spaces do to the people they were meant to shape — how extraordinary opportunity can breed distance, apathy, and self-serving ambition in the very generation charged with the continent's transformation.
Drawing on the wisdom of mentors, the discipline of spiritual and political formation, and the hard lessons of failure, Olemo maps with uncommon clarity the precise moment when principled leadership gives way to scheming — and what it costs a generation when it does.
Written with the warmth of a love letter and the precision of a political diagnosis, Leaders or Schemers is ultimately an argument that the answer to Africa's crisis of leadership is simpler and more demanding than talent, ambition, or opportunity.
It is love — the kind that expresses itself through sacrifice.
