Well, older generations since time in eternity have been and still maintain as the guardians of the society. Armed with taboos, morals, stories, and harsh realities they have experienced where they became unstoppable. Such stories to the ear of a young person full of life and expectations bring in perspective where they find a purpose to live their lives. I believe America to become a super power had to be a great nation full of endless opportunities. In the United States, starting a company is easy as there are genuine incorruptible individuals and systems ready to take interest and catapult ideas the younger generations have to offer. In our very own Africa, the tale is different as the young people consider themselves a mess as putting up a successful start-up is close to impossible. With such, the noble would look for advice and insight from older generations and with such a profound hunger for knowledge, they would find satisfaction from the ways of previous generations.

Unfit for Society by Munira Hussein

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,000.00
From the problems of the girls and women grappling with the challenges of living in a patriarchal culture to the allure of terrorist groups, Munira Hussein writing in the voice of what one of her characters describes as the children of the north brings a unique perspective from a region of Kenya which, despite its rich cultural traditions, is mostly associated in the popular imagination, with all the wrong things; violence, insecurity and underdevelopment. This compelling collection of stories from a young and upcoming writer shows there is more. Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, it celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time. Recently shortlisted for the African Writers Award for the short story Powder in the Wind, Ms. Hussein has the grit to curve herself a niche in the literary sphere and Unfit for Society is only but the first word in what promises to be a fruitful writing career.
