Two | Review by Dr.
Ana Sanchez |
| |
| This book examines a wide spectrum
of challenges that confronted African students in the aftermath
of the economic reforms of structural adjustment in the 1980s,
and the concomitant hardship that swept across Africa. The author
uses his own real-life experiences to compare life in the East,
as experienced in China with that in the West (Germany) and
adroitly analyses what these unforeseen cultural divergences
implied for Africans in search of higher education. |

| Dr. Sheikh Umarr Kamarah’s Singing
in Exile And The Child of War is the first published collection
of poetry by a Sierra Leonean since Syl Cheney-Coker’s Blood
in the Desert’s Eyes in 1991. The collection examines the causes
of the African (Sierra Leonean) condition, evaluates the African
Immigrant's situation in the West, hints at the role and culpability
of corporate West in African wars and woes, and concludes that
Africans must ultimately assume the responsibility of rebuilding
their continent. |

| Academic Reviews |
| |
| This book catalogues the real
life experiences of the author during his student years in Germany.
As the title suggests, the semi-autobiography critically examines
the experiences of Africans and other minority communities in
Germany, as well as key values and stereotypes that many people
in Africa hold about life in Europe. |

| About the Author
|
| |
| In The
Road To Kenema Samuel Hinton presents a poignant, sometimes
searing portrait of a man who stands with one foot planted firmly
in the ageless soil of Africa, the other on the
promise-filled shores of America.
Balancing memories of his homeland with dreams of his adopted
country, Hinton takes his reader on a journey that is often
upsetting, but always engaging. Each poem beckons, almost forces,
the reader to experience the situation at hand... |
