Could life be but a dream within a dream? Tales of Jideofor is a work of historical fiction set in the 18th century at the zenith of the transatlantic slave trade. It follows the life of a young lad, Jideofor, from Illah in Western Igbo lands down to Jamaica, through a rich tale of dreams, destiny, love, and reincarnation. In the story, Book 1 of the trilogy, Farastein blurs the lines between fact and fiction, and blends history with mystery seamlessly well, for you to see the truth within the myths of birth and death. Within the pages, you'll experience preserved Western Igbo cultures and beliefs, and life as a Negro slave in the Caribbean, specifically Jamaica. You'll fall in love with Jideofor and MaryJane's brief but beautiful love story. You'll be a witness to the destiny of dreams and how they unfold from birth to death from an African perspective as well as belief in reincarnation. In the end, you might just realize that life is indeed but a dream; that we all are Jideofor, in another face, in another place, living another tale.
This book memorialising the life and work of Ali Alamin Mazrui comprises more than 130 tributes written by people ranging from heads of state to journalists. Presented here are those tributes for which copyright permissions were received from among the hundreds that appeared online and print. In preparing this book, it was made very clear that, unlike other books of tributes to great men and women, there would be no segmentation of the sections based on writers and speakers positions in life. Instead, it was decided that the tributes be presented in alphabetical order based on writers and speakers last names. The decision hinged on the fact that Mazur would not have apposed any segmentation of people by class, race, ethnicity and gender etc. Nonetheless, out of great respect for Mazurs immediate family members, their tributes are presented first, followed by those from his global family members. Also included at the beginning of the book are three chapters that comprise an introductory essay, a brief biography of Mazur, and an essay on metaphorical-linguistic analysis of the tributes that follow. The book also has a preface by the coeditors and a forward by Salim Ahmed Salim, the former Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania and Secretary-General of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), now known as the Africa Union. Dr. Salim, who served as the Secretary-General of the OAU from 1989 to 2001, was Mazuris friend and contemporary. Mazruri once described Salim as Mr Africa and the first real postcolonial Secretary-General of the OAU.
