Bantu Beliefs and Magic: An Annotated...

KShs3,000.00

Bantu Beliefs and Magic is a remarkable exploration of the spiritual,cultural, and political traditions of the Agikuyu (Kikuyu) and Akamba peoples of Kenya. Written by C. W. Hobley in 1922, the book preserves a detailed record of indigenous life during a period of profound change under colonial rule. Drawing from years of research and conversations with elders, Hobley examines beliefs about God, ancestral spirits, sacred places, sacrifice, initiation rites, harvest ceremonies, and the customs that guided community life. These traditions reveal a rich worldview in which the spiritual and physical worlds were deeply connected.

The book also explores the role of magic, divination, healers, blacksmiths, curses, and protective rituals. Far from being isolated practices, these beliefs influenced social order, justice, health, and everyday decision-making within the community. Beyond religion and magic, Hobley documents systems of governance, councils of elders, customary law, age-set organizations, warfare, folklore, dances, and the influential role of women. His observations reveal societies with complex institutions and well-established methods of leadership and conflict resolution. Part anthropology, part history, and partcolonial-era record, Bantu Beliefs and Magic offers readers a rare window into precolonial East African life. It remains an important resource for anyone interested in African heritage, traditional belief systems, and the history of Kenya's indigenous communities.

In her book, In Search of Bimbia: Transatlantic Slavery and African Diasporan Rememory in Cameroon, Dr. Lisa Aubrey takes readers on a scholarly and personalized African Diasporan journey of tracing roots and reconnecting back to Africa. Written in the tradition of an academic memoir of combining scholarly literature of Africana Studies with the experiential truths of African Diasporans long dispersed from the continent of Africa, Dr. Aubrey engages readers in variegated searches of historic African Slavery Diasporans for their ontological origins on the continent of Africa from where their ancestors were forcibly wrenched. Dr. Aubrey demonstrates what can be done to recover African Diasporan history even when few-to-no records exist from times in history when Africans were regarded as sub-human chattel and dispersed into the Diaspora. Dr. Aubrey apprises readers on revolutions in DNA technology which, for the first time in humankind, allow African Diasporans from transoceanic slaveries to trace their roots.

Understanding Somalia and Somaliland:...

KShs3,000.00
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.

They used me. Then they erased me. For decades, the United States has operated behind a carefully constructed veil of power, diplomacy, and national interest. But beneath that dome lies a world few ever see—a world of covert missions, betrayal, psychological manipulation, and expendable assets. In The Shadows in the Dome, Hardev Panesar pulls back the curtain on the intelligence operations of the U.S. government, exposing how global influence is wielded, how wars are manufactured, and how those who serve in silence are often abandoned when their usefulness expires. Blending firsthand observation, investigative insight, and an insider’s voice wrapped in caution and courage, this book explores Cold War espionage, proxy wars, cyber surveillance, and the chilling tactics of betrayal that stain the conscience of a superpower. This is not fiction. This is not guesswork. This is the truth that was never meant to be told. — Hardev Panesar

The world watched in silence. Bombs fell on hospitals. Children starved as aid trucks were blocked. Entire families vanished in seconds, reduced to names scribbled on scraps of paper. Gaza became a graveyard of mothers, fathers, and children — not by accident, but by design. And still, politicians delivered speeches. Faith leaders offered empty prayers. The United Nations filed reports. America armed, Israel destroyed, Europe equivocated, Arab regimes normalized, and corporations profited. Silence became complicity. This is not a book of neutrality. It is testimony. It is accusation. It is grief sharpened into truth. It names names. It demands trials for the leaders of Israel, the United States, and their coalition allies — guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the genocide of the Palestinian nation. Shame on them. Shame on their silence. Shame on their betrayal of the most sacred duty: to protect the innocent. Gaza is not only a tragedy. Gaza is a test. And the world has failed.
