Traces of Vengences: A Play of Justic...
BOOK SUMMARY
In a society built on inequality, Gurina dares to challenge a system that thrives on silence. As he exposes corruption and injustice, he becomes a target, betrayed, condemned, and denied the chance to defend himself.
But even as he is silenced, his words ignite a movement. What begins as a fight for justice quickly spirals into chaos, forcing a reckoning between truth and vengeance and the true cost of freedom.
African Issues-Somalia: Economy witho...
In the wake of the collapse of the Somali government in 1991, a "second" or "informal" economy based on trans-border trade and smuggling is thriving. While focusing primarily on pastoral and agricultural markets, Peter D. Little demonstrates that the Somalis are resilient and opportunistic and that they use their limited resources effectively. While it is true that many Somalis live in the shadow of brutal warlords and lack access to basic health care and education, Little focuses on those who have managed to carve out a productive means of making ends meet under difficult conditions and emphasizes the role of civic culture even when government no longer exists. Exploring questions such as, Does statelessness necessarily mean anarchy and disorder? Do money, international trade, and investment survive without a state? Do pastoralists care about development and social improvement? This book describes the complexity of the Somali situation in the light of international terrorism.
Understanding Somalia and Somaliland:...
Ioan Lewis details the history and culture of the Somali people, providing a unique window into this little-known culture and its increasingly public predicaments. He provides insight into the complex social, historical, and cultural hinterland that is the Somali heritage and pays close attention to the pervasive influence of traditional nomadism, especially its extremely decentralized nature. Lewis also addresses developments in the Somali political region since the collapse of the Republic in 1991, including the formation and steady development of the democratic state of Somaliland. Though it has grown into a de facto personality, this self-governing outpost of democracy is still officially unrecognized internationally. Lewis concludes with a discussion of the Islamist movement that brought a brief but astonishing period of stability to much of Southern Somalia in late 2006.
Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedo...
As a young man Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.
Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, using his own story to condemn slavery. By the Civil War, Douglass had become the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. After the war he sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights.
Intelligence Engineering: Operating B...
Intelligence continues to undergo significant changes at a remarkable pace, notably developments related to ‘Big Data’, surveillance and cyber. Intelligence today involves multiagency, multinational, multidisciplinary, multidomain information sharing and sense-making, conducted by commerce, academic, government, civil society, media, law enforcement, military, and nongovernmental/nonprofit organisations. Increasingly complex systems, including interrelated technical dimensions, are central to modern defence systems. Intelligence Engineering: Operating Beyond the Conventional provides a new framework for generating analysis, exploring how systems to system-of-systems can be harnessed both for and into the future. Intelligence engineering (IE) involves the use of scientific and technical knowledge to artfully create, operate, maintain, and dismantle complex devices, machines, structures, systems, and processes that support and/or disrupt human endeavour occurring in the intelligence context. Spanning both human and technical intelligence realms, IE includes the collection and analysis of information that is of military and/or political value, and that relates to international relations, defence, and national security. Strategic Futures, risk management across to resilience concerns are similarly engaged.
As the chapters show, intelligence continues to extend further into engineering realms, including Federation of Systems and System of Systems Engineering approaches, social engineering, and so forth. System of Systems Engineering is a methodology used by the US Department of Defense, law enforcement, military, and emergency management work. It is used for information collection, allowing the sharing of research data and tools (such as software), for example in joint operations where army, navy, and air force must work together, with their systems interoperating with each other, or with coalition forces. Command and control, communications, and medical care systems are also systems that must interoperate to support operations in hostile or unstable situations. The book presents several System of Systems analysis, along with important intelligence criteria relating to specificity, timeliness, accuracy, relevance, and clarity. Risk analysis and assessment are discussed as well. This core text will offer students and practitioners a toolkit ready for use by outlining the methodology of Intelligence Engineering.

AFRO-CENTRIC FUTURES .The Education o...
She built it to teach. They used it to watch.
At twenty-three, Zuri Odhiambo was the prodigy of the tech world, a brilliant Kenyan coder who created Mwalimu—an open-source AI tutor designed to bring education to the most remote corners of the continent. She believed a tool built with good intentions could only ever be used for good.
She was wrong.
Now twenty-four and disillusioned, Zuri walks away from a high-stakes Silicon Valley career and returns to her grandmother’s village on the shores of Lake Victoria. But the home she remembers is gone. In its place is the Lake Belt Lithium Project, a massive industrial mine fueling the global green energy revolution.
As the mine lights turn the lake into mercury every night at 6:47 PM, Zuri discovers a devastating truth: her beautiful code has been weaponized. Mwalimu is no longer a teacher; it is a predictive policing system for the Ministry of Interior, used to flag "at-risk" youth and neutralize resistance before it even begins.
Caught between a mentor who sold her soul to military contractors and a childhood love who is now the leader of the Mau Mau Digital Resistance, Zuri must navigate a landscape where data is the new gold and attention is the new territory.
AFRO-CENTRIC FUTURES is a fierce, sensual, and unsparing techno-thriller about the "new scramble for Africa." It is the story of a young woman who must learn to unbuild what she made, to resist without becoming the enemy, and to discover that the things worth building are not the things that scale—but the things that hold.

Djembe DRUMBEAT. A Story from the Hea...
Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter."
— African Proverb
For every child who has ever felt far from home —
the rhythm never left you.
For the grandmothers who hummed while they worked,
the grandfathers who drummed through the night,
the teachers who taught us that Africa is not a place on a map —
it is a song in your chest.
And for the dreamers who are writing new stories —
this one belongs to you.
Ama and the Drumbeat of Home
This story follows a child who learns that cultural identity is portable. You
can leave your village, cross borders, enter unfamiliar spaces—and still carry
your home within you. This is the Ubuntu philosophy in action: "I am because we
are," but also, "We are because I remember."
In an era where African children increasingly navigate between traditional
spaces and global ones, this story offers a bridge. It says: You do not have to
choose between worlds. You can be a child of the village and a citizen of the
world, because the drumbeat travels with you.
May this story find its way into classrooms from Lagos to Nairobi, from
Kumasi to Kinshasa—and may every child who reads it hear their own rhythm more
clearly.
THE HARMONY OF THE FOREST
From Hope to Despair: The Betrayal of...
From Hope to Despair: The Betrayal of Kenya’s Educated Youth is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the struggles facing a generation that was taught to believe that education is the surest path to success.
Through the experiences of young graduates and job seekers, the book examines the widening gap between promise and reality in contemporary Kenya. It tells the story of ambitious young people who leave their villages and communities armed with degrees, skills, and dreams, only to encounter unemployment, underemployment, corruption, inequality, and a system that often seems stacked against them.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing nation, the book highlights the emotional and economic toll of broken expectations while celebrating the resilience, determination, and ingenuity of Kenya’s youth. It raises difficult questions about governance, education, opportunity, and social justice, challenging leaders and citizens alike to confront the barriers that prevent talented young people from realising their full potential.
Both a social commentary and a human story, From Hope to Despair is a compelling account of hope deferred, dreams tested, and the urgent need to create a future in which education once again serves as a bridge to opportunity rather than a pathway to frustration.
This book is essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, parents, and anyone concerned about the future of Kenya and the fate of its most valuable resource—its young people.
Zuri and the Mobile Market
A devastating flood. A broken community. One girl with a big idea.
Eleven-year-old Zuri Wanjiku loves the vibrant chaos of Nairobi, but when a catastrophic flood tears through the city, the heartbeat of her community—the Gikomba Market—falls silent. The waters don't just wash away stalls; they sever the vital links between urban traders and the rural farmers, like Zuri’s grandmother in Kiambu, who feed the city.
As the supply chains break and the shelves go empty, Zuri realizes that the solution isn't found in expensive gadgets or Silicon Valley apps. Inspired by the historical rhythms of African communication—from the ancestral beat of the ngoma drum to the modern revolutionary spirit of M-Pesa—Zuri and her tech-savvy friend Juma set out to build something revolutionary: Soko Mpya (The New Market).
Using only basic feature phones and the power of SMS technology, Zuri leads a digital revolution rooted in the ancient spirit of Ubuntu—the belief that I am because we are. But building the code is only half the battle. To succeed, Zuri must navigate the skepticism of market elders, the logistics of boda boda (motorcycle) delivery networks, and the reality that true innovation is about people, not just platforms.
Why Middle-Grade Readers, Parents, and Educators Will Love Zuri:
• Real-World Heroism: Features a relatable young protagonist who uses empathy, observation, and logic to solve a community crisis.
• The Silicon Savannah: Offers a rare, authentic look at African innovation, digital finance, and social entrepreneurship.
• Intergenerational Wisdom: A touching story about the bond between a tech-forward granddaughter and a wisdom-keeping grandmother.
• STEM with Heart: An exciting introduction to systems thinking, design iteration, and "frugal innovation" for ages 8–12.
Zuri and the Mobile Market is a high-stakes adventure that proves you don't need a high-tech lab to change the world—you just need the courage to look at your own community and ask, "How can I help?"
The future of technology is African. And Zuri is leading the way.
