Love Beyond Wealth by Majur Chol Khor
In a world where material possessions often precede genuine connections, my book, "Love Beyond Wealth," delves into the power of love and its ability to transcend societal expectations and cultural norms. Through sharing my journey, I aim to inspire and resonate with South Sudanese individuals in relationships and young people searching for true love.
South Sudan, rich in cultural diversity, holds unique perspectives on love and wealth. In this book, I explore how these two concepts intertwine within the fabric of South Sudanese society. While wealth is often seen as a symbol of success and security, the notion of true love is equally valued, if not more so.
Within the pages of this book, I invite readers to delve into the depths of South Sudanese culture and understand how true love is perceived within its various communities. From traditional practices to modern influences, I shed light on the intricate dynamics that shape the pursuit of love and wealth in this context.

The Dark Side of Skin by Jeferson Ten...
Life under Brazil’s brutal “cordial racism” comes painfully alive in this novel of fathers and sons.
How do you become the protagonist of your own life? For Pedro, it means searching for himself in the objects his father left behind: the layers that make up his life, and that of his parents, and the circumstances, geographies, and wounds that shaped them all. It’s an archaeology of affections, but also of life in southern Brazil, where being black on the streets of Porto Alegre manifests violences large and small. Where being a young woman, raised by a single mother, may find you seeking security in the untrustworthy arms of men.
In Dark Side of Skin , Jeferson Tenório takes on fathers and sons, Shakespeare and Cervantes, and the inescapable bonds and burdens of family and history in one delicately rendered, painfully precise account of loved ones lost and found.
