Swahili in Spaces of War

A Sociolinguistic Odyssey

By: Alamin Mazrui,Kimani Njogu

This monograph examines the roles and functions of Swahili in war/conflict situations, and the impact of wars on the destiny of the language. Covering a period of over a century, the monograph explores this sociolinguistic theme in the context of six wars/conflicts: the Maji Maji resistance against German rule, the two World Wars, the anti-colonial resistance to British colonialism, the wars of the Great Lakes region, the cold wars, and the ongoing war against terrorism. In geographical focus, some of the war situations explored here are “local,” others are “transnational,” and others still rather “global” in scope and ramifications. In the final analysis, the monograph provides important snapshots of the conflict-based history of the Swahili language, demonstrating once again that language is a malleable tool that can be appropriated and galvanized to serve the interests of either party in a conflict and sometimes as a means of creating hegemonic and anti-hegemonic meanings.

Defying All Odds!

A Young Man on a Mission Coming to America

By: Jeff Kimani

This is a story of a young man on a mission that, by all accounts, seems unlikely. The journey from the start is plagued with every imaginable obstacle that is sufficient to stop a weak and undetermined heart. It would take a resolve of steel to fight and crush through some very fortified challenges. Karanja, who is centrally the main character in the book, has to rise up to the occasion and fight the good fight until he achieve what he feels he is entitled to and has every right to acquire. At every stage in the story is a hidden impervious hindrance that is designed to stop this young man from advancing in his noble cause. Determination and courage will carry the day!
