    Newly emerging African democracies have let down the people of Africa, and have brought about untold misery and suffering.Most of Africa’s social, economic, and security challenges have arisen due to the failure of political leaders to instill sanity and discipline in the government machinery. In fact, many join politics with the sole aim of accumulating riches in the shortest space of time.In the detective novel Crime and Corruption, a police inspector probes the deaths of a prominent businessman, his son, and some residents of Ndirande Township in the city Blantyre. What he finds leads to a cover-up by those he never would have suspected.Killy Kandeu Chisale wants to tell the people of Africa in this book that freedom without responsibility is dangerous and destructive. He reveals the evils of corruption in combatting crime, because in a corrupt society some may feel above the law, and these are the ones who cause suffering for peace-loving people.Publisher’s website: http://sbpra.com/KillyKandeuChisale

  • - Compelling Critical Commentary (2016)
    av H G Hastings-Duffield
    250,-

    The text in Significant Secular and Sacred Matters in America contains nineteen commentaries, nine on secular matters and ten on sacred matters.The secular materials focus on various matters in American society, including the reprehensible treatment of war veterans, racism by celebrities, Congress'' usurpation of citizens'' rights, and other issues. The sacred matters focus on religious privilege, the terrorism inherent in Christianity, the enigmatic genesis of Jesus, the evil of Yahweh, and more. An American citizen, military veteran, and secular humanist (which benighted people confuse with "atheist") wrote all the commentaries. His intent was to edify fellow citizens, who perhaps never thought of matters the way the author does, due to social indoctrination, indifference, and willful ignorance.After teaching for thirty-five years at three universities in Michigan, H. G. Hastings-Duffield retired in 1997 and now lives in Atlanta.Publisher''s website: http://sbprabooks.com/hghastingsduffield

    Poems for Teens is an anthology of fifty poems, with themes touching on children''s diverse needs. These include the need for love, independence, and nurturing by parents.Adolescence is depicted as a turbulent period in which youngsters query about life, love, sickness, and the desire to achieve. The children in these narratives graduate from adolescence to adulthood, needing role models among peers and adults to assist them.

But, at the same time, they want the world to understand their teenage identity and not disturb their freedoms and peace.Francis Emson Dakwa is a senior lecturer in special needs education at Great Zimbabwe University. He has authored two other anthologies: Poems for the Young and Poems for Couples, and co-authored a fourth book Reflections on Disability: An African Voice.
