  1. Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man

    Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man   Masked in the tradition of the literary confession as practiced by such writers as St. Augustine and Rousseau, this "autobiography" purports to be the candid account of its narrator's private views and feelings as well as an acknowledgement of the central secret of his life: that though he lives as a white man, he is, by heritage and experience, an African American. Tracing his journey from the South to the North and from America to Europe and back again, the narrator's first hand experiences on both sides of the colourline intimately demonstrates the qualities of race that are both established yet mutable.  DETAILS : • Pages: 216• Publisher: Jacaranda books• Imprint: Jacaranda Books• Publication Date: 21st November 2019• Trim Size: 128 x 196 mm• ISBN: 9781909762756• Format: B-format paperback  AUTHOR BIO: Jeffery Renard Allen is the author of five books including the novels SONG OF THE SHANK and RAILS UNDER MY BACK, which won the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize for Fiction; the short story collection HOLDING PATTERN, which received The Ernest J.

  3. Locating Strongwoman By Tolu Agbelusi

    Locating Strongwoman By Tolu Agbelusi   "...This is a book filled with want, love and the lack thereof, with striking lines like, 'As if he wasn't a bed of nails your love/laid on' and 'The factory of my body works overtime'. It teeters between violence and the razor-blade threat thereof. Straddling the inside and outside worlds on the head of a 'bobbing sewing needle',  Locating Strongwoman  is visceral and raw, vulnerable and strong. It will leave you thinking and feeling long after you turn its last page".Peter Kahn, author of  Little Kings  and co-editor of  The Golden Shovel Anthology: New Poems Honoring Gwendolyn Brooks "Through  Locating Strongwoman , Tolu Agbelusi hosts a black women's sleepover. Where we drink wine and share stories, about the many complexities of navigating our hearts, how we are our mother's daughters and how our mothers are complex women. Strongwoman... The chilling truth behind this collection is that to be woman is to be silent... or silenced.Both in form and content,  Locating Strongwoman  is a trace of our mothers' silences and the inevitable release of our own voices. Tolu paints in a language that is familiar and comforting. And how wonderful it is to find yourself, over and over in poetry! As the woman who cannot be pinned into a box and doesn't want to be. To be seen."Vangile Gantsho, author of  Red Cotton  and  Undressing in Front of the Window ; co-founder of Impepho Press  DETAILS  • Pages: 64• Publisher: Jacaranda books• Imprint: Jacaranda Books• Series: Twenty in 2020• Publication Date: 1st October 2020• Trim Size: 134 x 214 mm• ISBN: 9781913090135• Format: Trade paperback (UK)   AUTHOR BIO: Known for simplicity and incredible depth, Tolu Agbelusi is a Nigerian British, poet, playwright, performer, educator and lawyer, with compelling story telling skills.
