TITLE:
KMT: In the house of life AUTHOR: AYI KWEI ARMAH ISBN#: 2-911928-06-7 PRICE: $18.95 The Narrative: Mourning a lost friend, Lindela, the narrator of KMT, Ayi Kwei Armah's seventh novel, plunges into history, seeking meaning in life's flow. Loving companions-- an Egyptologist and two traditionalists--show her secret hieroglyphic texts left by migrant Egyptian scribs millennia ago. As Lindela translates them, old questions animating her search for knowledge of self and society acquire a sharpened urgency: How best can Africa's multimillennial history be envisioned as one continuous stream? Why did the society that invented literacy sink into the misery of illiteracy, ignorance and religion? What creative African values lie buried under the lethal debris of slavery, colonialism, structural adjustment and globalization? And why did the ancient scribes call the concept of Maat our best promise of regeneration? KMT is the narrative of an African woman's lifequest, and of the answers she uncovers. |

TITLE:
TWO THOUSAND SEASONS Two Thousand Seasons is set in the harshest century of the Atlantic Slaving War that for three hundred years devastated Africa while lifting Europe to affluent world dominance. Europeans have come to call that period The Enlightenment. For Africans it was a time of senseless human sacrifice imposed by the worship of The Market and its blood-thirsty god, Profit. This novel tells the story of that terror-soaked age from the viewpoint of Africa's slaughtered millions. ... It follows a group of young initiates, eleven women and nine men, as they get tricked and sold into slavery by a collaborator king. During the Atlantic crossing they organize a shipboard revolt, then return to the wasted continen to begin their lifework: finding ways to stop the destruction of life, to retrieve a society built on life-giving values. | |

TITLE:
THE HEALERS AUTHOR: AYI KWEI ARMAH ISBN#: 2-911928-04-0 PRICE: $18.95 The Healers tells the story of conflict and regeneration focused on a group with a chosen vocation: to replace the toxic ignorance that breeds ethnic, class and caste divisions with the healing knowledge of African unity. ... The time: late nineteenth-century Africa. Three centuries of Slaving Wars have destroyed Africa to enrich Europe and America. Now European armies push to partition Africa for more systematic colonial pillage. The continent resists. But because its traditional elites see themselves not as part of one human community but as members of hostile micronational, ethnic, class and caste groups, Africa's defenses lie shattered. .... For The Healers, the cause of Africa's subjugation is clear: the poisons of division have eaten deep. The antidote is equally obvious. The time has come to replace the destructive, obsolete rituals of division with the creative work of unifiers. |
