When Rosamond Halsey Carr first arrived in Africa, she didn't realize that she would spend the rest of her life there. As a young fashion illustrator living in New York City in the 1940s, she seemed the least likely candidate for such a life of adventure. But marriage to a hunter-explorer took her to what was then the Belgian Congo, and divorce left her determined to stay on in neighboring Rwanda as the manager of a flower plantation.

Story1
Africa has played a decisive role in the formation of Christian culture from its infancy. Some of the most decisive intellectual achievements of Christianity were explored and understood in Africa before they were in Europe. If this is so, why is Christianity so often perceived in Africa as a Western colonial import? How can Christians in Northern and sub-Saharan Africa, indeed, how can Christians throughout the world, rediscover and learn from this ancient heritage?

Born in what’s now called Zimbabwe, journalist Peter Godwin returns to his homeland in 2008 after three decades of Robert Mugabe’s brutal economic and human destruction. Hoping to “dance on Mugabe’s political grave” in the wake of the tyrant’s defeat at the polls, Godwin instead risks his life to secretly chronicle Mugabe’s ruthless backlash of torture and terror locals call “The Fear.”

Mais si les chaînes sont brisées, pourquoi les pensées restent-elles captives ? Cerveau Esclave plonge au cœur des mécanismes de domination mentale qui maintiennent les Africains sous contrôle depuis des générations.

Plongeon vertigineux au cœur de l’histoire du Maghreb, Histoire générale de l’Algérie d’Henri Garrot retrace, avec une clarté rare et une ampleur épique, la longue chaîne des civilisations qui ont façonné l’Algérie et la Berbérie: des Phéniciens, Carthaginois et Romains aux Vandales, Byzantins, Arabes, dynasties berbères, jusqu’aux grands basculements médiévaux. On y traverse ports antiques, routes caravanières, sièges titanesques, révoltes et essors religieux; s’y croisent Massinissa, Jugurtha, Augustin, la Kahina, les Fatimides, Almoravides et Almohades.

In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.
