Station Master Eburru and Other Stori...
In this collection of intimate, absorbing, and very human stories, Pheroze Nowrojee takes his readers back in time. The setting is the Kenya colony, roiling with undercurrents of discomfort, disaffection, and outright disobedience as colonial administrators attempted to enforce the racial stratification, coerced labour, and resource extraction that strictly benefitted themselves and their overlords.
Some laws, including those targeting suspected Mau Mau sympathizers, were modelled on the South African laws, which were much admired by the Kenya colonial administration.
Ordinary life persisted in the colony. In the Asian African community, this manifested in family businesses, cultural and religious occasions, sports events, or culinary traditions. But as people went about their daily tasks—engaging in humble livelihoods, pursuing an education, seeking adventure, finding romance, or actively resisting the colonial enterprise—the unjust British occupation and its aftermath pervaded every space and affected every relationship.

This book explores the cultural significance of these early imports and that of their replacements, the so-called Zanzibar plates out of Europe.
Though these latter plates were low-cost utilitarian ware in the local European market, they were transformed in usage, value, and design upon interacting with the people of the Indian Ocean littoral, becoming an integral part of Swahili culture.

Pandashuka By Timothy O. Sumba
“Nikumbukapo mashaka tipitipi yaliyoizonga familia yetu naamini kuwa ulimwengu umefurika malimwengu ya kila nui ambayo hukingama mbele ya walimwengu maishani na kusababisha pandashuka. Kama barabara ndefu ilivyo safari ya Maisha haikosi mabonde, vilima, milima, tambarare na kona. Je. Ni gurufu gani isiyokuwa na gurufu? Kwa bahati njema mawimbi ya safari ngumu hayadumu maishani, huisha namna Maisha yenyewe yanavyoisha.
Baadhi ya Pandashuka ni furaha na huzuni, raha karaha, vicheko na vilio, utajiri na umaskini, shibe na njaa, amani na vita, afya njema na maradhi, upendo na chuki n ahata shwari na shari namna wasemavyo wengine. Kimsingi, pandashuka hutusambazia ama utulivu au uchungu nzima unaozaa jakomoyo sufufu. Je, ni nani asiyejua kuwa painamapo ndipo painukapo?”
"Ni riwaya ya kitawasifu inayomfahamisha msomaji kutalii katika usimulizi aula uliosukwa kwamba ni mlo wa kisanaa kwa kukolezwa mbinu kemkem za sanaa. Mwandishi aliyetopia na kugharika ukwasi wa lugha ameyatumia maneno ya kawaida namna isiyo ya kawaida ili kuukamilisha ubunifu usio na kifani. Mwandishi huyu mahiri amesimulia visa tele vinavyoingiliana na kuunda taswira halisi za pandashuka katika jamii..." Tahakiki ya Fatma Ali Mohamed(Zanzibar)
