Published: 31st October 2008

All religious factions, irrespective of their beliefs, pray to their God. It is the same God. Another deity, as powerful as the one God, yearns to replace his authority, in the heavens, and on earth.Make the most of your God, while you still have him. Something that happened in the sixth century will have fatal consequences in the twentieth century. An unwanted burden is thrust onto the young shoulders of Kit Milner, which will lead him, unwittingly, into a sequence of breathtaking escapades. Dangerous adversaries compete to ensnare him as he takes on an unknown mission, in an endeavour to make sense of the Merlin stones. Kit grapples with danger and deception, together with the guiles of a beautiful woman, as he fights against the unknown. The author has taken on a remarkably daring challenge, which works. The book is intriguingly audacious and inventive, with a touch of satire, and reveals a flair for creating some delightfully grotesque characters.

The Search for Cultural Identities in Post-Colonial Africa

The Search for Cultural Identities in Post-Colonial Africa - Ewane Moto   ISBN: 978 190656199 4  214 pages
Published: 1st February 2010

The Search for Cultural Identities in Post-Colonial Africa is Eddy Moto Ewane’s first book. It chronicles, with a tinge of humour, efforts of a West African village to identify itself with its cultural and ancestral past, against the backdrop of socio-administrative machinations. From the era under the German protectorate, through that of the British mandate under the League of Nations, to the codified laws of traditional institutions, it depicts the difficult transformation of an ethnic group from a quasi-native village to a modern administrative headquarters. Oral communication between the colonists and the natives passed through several interpreters. With the chain of distortions, the natives unwittingly committed a number of sacrileges. They had to appease their gods – but at which cost? The Search for Cultural Identities in Post-Colonial Africa unveils with stunning detail, the astonishing truth concealed for a century. Eddy Moto Ewane plunges the reader into a society plagued by political and administrative gamesmanship, intrigues, power-mongering, black magic and selfishness. The author’s narrative skills of the native mannerisms help to add humour and life to an otherwise historical work.
