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.
Zanzibar Plates: Maastricht and Other...
‘Zanzibar plates’ have been in the East African region since the second half of the 19th century. Porcelain and ceramics from Persia and China had arrived ealier, imported to East Africa over many centuries.
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.
Bachelorette Diaries (Anniversary Edi...
Shiri Golan is smart, intelligent, and successful—top media girl and owner of Golan Technologies that’s hired to develop stealth software for the Kenya Defence Forces fighter jets.
But she isn’t as smart when she falls in love with a Catholic priest, and skeletons crawl out of her perfect man’s closet, hauling betrayal, a dark past, and deadly secrets with them.
Hurt, betrayed, and vengeful, Shiri finds herself caught between forgiveness and justice and fighting unknown forces.
This is definitely a great read, and the suspense is simply enthralling.
Verah Omwocha, Kenyan Writer
The book is a light read.

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)

It takes the efforts of one Dhlakama, private investigator and former policeman, to unearth the mighty Apostle. But not before a number of lives have been lost and others rendered useless...

Luo Proverbs and Their Meanings by Ok...
Given the scarcity of dedicated researchers and competent authors on local languages, this work by Okumba Miruka (a renowned author and literary critic) and Jens Aagaard-Hansen (clinician and social anthropologist) is quite powerful and valuable.
They illustrate the fact that there is rich content out there within the indigenous languages that ought to be mined and turned into better use for the current generation and posterity.
At a time of cultural renewal like now and when technology brings challenges and opportunities, promoting local literature is a desirable undertaking that ought to be encouraged and supported.
It is not enough for the government, for example, to enact policies on use of local languages in schooling without corresponding support and promotion of the literature on the same.
This publication makes a major contribution towards the preservation and promotion of local literature and particularly what Prof Austin Bukenya called Orature.
