Crushed

₦3,500.00 ₦3,500.00

CRUSH-ED is not another whining story about the African experience, even though the title may lead in that direction.

The book presents pungent and urgent, analysis of the precarious situation that region of Africa has found itself; a situation foisted not only by the historical facts of slave trade and colonialism (as most texts on the subject are wont to aver), but most importantly the failure of the African states themselves to properly interpret their cultures and how those clash with the ones they are try to adopt and adapt to.

The difference between gossip and properly processing with a trusted friend
A helpful grid for using our digital tongue as we talk online or on social media
How to pause before you pounce, attacking the problem but not the person
