Privatization & Democracy in East Africa
by Migai Akech
This book explores the role of democracy and Public Law in privatization processes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. It takes a broad approach to privatization, and argues that privatization processes can only be efficient, fair and legitimate if they are democratic.
It therefore recommends the creation of strongly institutionalized Administrative Law mechanisms to facilitate the meaningful democratization of privatization processes in the three countries. In order to make these arguments, the book uses the privatization of water and security as case studies.......Read More

The Southern Sudan: Struggle for Liberty
by Elijah Malok
For many centuries, the politics of Sudan has been characterised by racial dichotomy and identity crisis, specifically between the North and the South. Added to these is the long history of domination, unfavourable policies and uneven development. The resulting marginalisation, neglect and underdevelopment has bred a series of fierce conflicts culminating in one of the longest civil wars in Africa – between the Khartoum forces and the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (and Movement), SPLA/M. The war ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi on 9th January 2005.
Unlike other publications, The Southern Sudan: Struggle for Liberty provides an in-depth view of the struggle from a veteran’s perspective. Having himself lived the struggle and rising to the position of Commander in the SPLA, the author renders a story of the conflict of Southern Sudan right from the Juba Conference of 1947 and the August 1955 mutiny through the Anyanya Movements to the civil war and eventual peace. Using personal experience and accounts, he also carries with him the personalities and events that shaped the struggle and expresses his hopes and fears of the future of Southern Sudan. Buy now

The Big Chiefs
by Meja Mwangi
After a successful career as a government Minister, the Old Man breaks ranks with the Big Chiefs and is banished to a remote outpost in the Northern Frontier. In an emotional recollection to the Boy, he reveals how the Big Chiefs used the colonial labels of tall and short to set their subjects against one another. Although he is caught up in the genocide that ensues, the Old Man lives to tell his story, albeit with bitterness.
The Big Chiefs is the story of greed for power and wealth at the expense of the sacred pillars of humanity.
The novel is as apocalyptic as it is a gloomy narration of the arrogance that comes with absolute power. order an advance copy

The Travail of Dieudonne
By Francis B. Nyamnjoh
Dieudonné's life is spun from the threads of one of Africa's grand moral dilemmas,
in which personal responsibility is intertwined with the social catharsis occasioned
by ambitions of dominance and ever diminishing circles. We encounter Dieudonné
at the tail end of his service as ‘houseboy' to the Toubaabys,
a patronising
expatriate couple. In the company of a lively assortment of characters and
luring music at the Grand Canari Bar, Dieudonné recounts his life. As he peels layer after
layer of his vicissitudes, he depicts the everyday resilience of the African on a continent
caught in the web of predatory forces. Yet, this enchanting failure also celebrates the infinite
capacity of the African to find happiness and challenge victimhood.
