A History of the Yoruba People
S. Adebanji Akintoye
A History of the Yoruba People is an audacious comprehensive exploration of the founding and growth of one of the most influential groups in Africa. With a population of nearly 40 million spread across Western Africa and diaspora communities in Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America and North America, Yoruba are one of the most researched groups emanating from Africa. Yet, to date, very few attempts have tried to grapple fully with the historical foundations and development of a group that has contributed to shaping the way African communities are analysed from prehistoric to modern times.

The HerStory Project: Volume I
Anthonia Makwemoisa (Ed.)
The HerStory Project is a stirring kaleidoscope of thirty-four exemplary women from different backgrounds, temperaments, passions, and achievements. The stories of these women, drawn from Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Senegal, challenge and move beyond long-held traditions of gender discrimination and cultural inhibitions to reveal individuals whose determination and self-belief have had tremendous impact on their livelihoods, communities and nations. These two-volume narratives redefine and delineate the contours of women empowerment and leadership in African communities, broadening the discourse to include the transformative power of the individual and her society.

Ontologies, Values and Thought in Igbo World View
Damian Ugwutikiri Opata
The Age of the Internet has transformed our concept of time and space, juxtaposing the worlds of reality and the virtual in a criss-cross global fusion that has left us wondering what was life on earth like before now. The fluidity in communication across distance and the ease with which we connect to others across the globe have broken down social boundaries from class, race, and sex to intergenerational and intercultural lines. But the realities of our world remain, grounded in underlining perceptions of thought constructed and refined over the millennia in the societies, groups, cultures, and communities we emanate from or to which we are tethered or have been in contact.

Give Me Room to Move My Feet
Mildred Kiconco Barya
In 100 thought-provoking textually original poems, Mildred Kiconco Barya explores elements of time and space on the landscapes of memory, observation and experience at individual points and collective levels. The poet uses motion as a connecting thread for the seven parts of human experiences and livelihoods – revolving lives, stormy heart, before the sun sinks, the pain of tenderness, shame has a place, the shape of dreams, and until the last breath is drawn – to herald an inspiring collection of maturity and tenderness.

Mame-Penda Ba
Connu pour être « le paradis des marabouts et des confréries », l’islam sénégalais connaît depuis la fin des années 70 des bouleversements majeurs, du fait essentiellement de l’émergence et de l’essor des activistes islamistes. S’opposant à la fois au système confrérique dominant considéré comme hérétique, mais aussi au système laïc hérité d’un Occident qualifié d’impie, ces derniers prônent l’instauration d’une « société véritablement islamique » au Sénégal.
