Dear Ijeawele, Or A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions

1,500.00 1,500.00

From the best-selling author of Americanah, Half of a Yellow Sun and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today-written as a letter to a friend.

Here are fifteen invaluable suggestions-compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive- for how to empower a daughter to become strong, independent woman. From teaching a young girl to read widely and recognize the role of language in reinforcing unhealthy social norms; encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about appearance, identity, and sexuality; criticizing cultural norms surrounding marriage; and debunking the myths that women are somehow biologically designed to be in the kitchen, and that men can “allow” women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will start a new urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

Nigeria’s Story Is My Story

2,500.00 2,500.00

This is my sixth book and one in which I’ve been a bit more revealing. It should make very interesting reading because it is not a boring rant about economic and financial issues, but interesting dialogues on matters of mostly Nigeria’s sociopsychology and aspects of history. I personally enjoy such discourses better than the drone on the stiff subject of money and how it is made.

I think this is a more important aspect of the development quest of African people because from a systems point of view we should interrogate our lifeviews, our paradigms and of perspectives. Once the sociopsychological aspects are dealt with, development and progress becomes fairly easy and sustainable. The writings here reflect my mindset and perspective which fuses into my understanding of the larger issues towards ensuring that my people attain a better existence in this present world where no nation waits for another.

Things Fall Apart Things Fall Together

In the writing of the two essays in this book I went to great lengths to press my readings of Achebe’s first novel things fall apart into service in an effort to see hopeful signs in otherwise quite bleak circumstances in Nigeria and Africa. The celebration of the anniversary of Achebe’s novel being a festive occasion in which one could not afford to be seen as being too sanguine in expressing one’s bitterness about the state of things in Nigeria Africa and the world
