Exiled writer Ngugi wa Miiri Passes on
Ngugi wa Miiri, who co-authored the play Ngaahika Ndeeda with Ngugi wa Thiong'o, died in Harare, Zimbabwe, on May 4, 2008 through a road accident.
The late author and theatre enthusiast escaped into exile in Zimbabwe in 1982 following a warrant for his arrest issued by the Special Branch during the Moi era. The dreaded Special Branch went after him for being associated with the Kamirithu Community Education Cultural Center, a peasants' theatre movement that used cultural art for political sensitization. His escape was facilitated by his publisher, now the EAEP Chairman, Dr. Henry Chakava, who helped him hide and get to the airport. Once at the airport, Ngugi managed to secure an escape into exile.
Ngahiika Ndeeda (I will Marry When I Want) deals with the issue of neocolonialism and how the promises made at independence turned into a nightmare for the common mwananchi, who continued to suffer in the hands of the new African ruling elite.
A letter sent to the Chairman of the Kamirithu Theatre group in December 1976 by the then Kiambu District Commissioner indicated that the play was a threat to ‘public security'.
During his stay in Zimbabwe, Ngugi wa Miiri joined the Zimbabwe Foundation for Education.......

This book synthesises the current knowledge of global change processes and impacts in Africa. Climate and environmental change impacts in Africa are shown to be mostly negative and severe. Africa's vulnerability to these changes is inversely related to the continent's adaptive capacity. Paleoclimate records show that Africa has experienced extreme, abrupt droughts on millennial to decadal timescales, and other such vagaries of climate and weather are continuing today, with adverse impacts on human societies and ecosystems.
The book shows that Africa urgently needs to adapt to the changing climate and environment in order to reduce its vulnerability to their effects or impacts. Innovative adaptation measures and sustainable development strategies that are robust to climate and other global change tendencies need to be devised, and some approaches and measures have been proposed in this book.
This is an invaluable work for global change scholars and students; climatologists; environmentalists; and all those researchers and policy makers involved in the processes and impacts of global change.

In light of the recent post election violence in Kenya, many children lost, among other items, their books. As schools reopen, most children do not have this very vital requirement for a child's education.
Celtel Kenya and E.A.E.P started an initiative dubbed ‘The Hope Through Books'. The initiative was aimed at collecting books from members of the public and corporate organizations in order to distribute them to children in affected areas. These included Story Books,School Text Books, Dictionaries and any other learning materials that the public could get.
The initiative was very successful, over Ksh. 1Million woth of books were distributed to children in the Nakuru and Eldoret cams for the Internally Displaced.
We take this Opportunity to thank Celtel and Uchuuzi for their support.
It was a victory galore for East African Educational Publishers at the close of the Nairobi International Book Fair on the evening of Saturday, 29, 2007. The company bagged a whopping five awards under the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature.
Veteran author Marjorie Oludhe Macgoye's
A Farm Called Kishinev (2006) scooped the top award in the adult fiction category. For an award that has sometimes failed to get a winner in the past due to the rigorousness of the evaluation process, the fact that Marjorie's book won the award is an endorsement of E.A.E.P's publishing standards.
