Once a Slave Always a Slave
Author: Anaya Binta

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
In a world where hypocrisy and lies were elevated to an art form masquerading as "tolerance" and "politically correctness", In Once a Slave, Always a Slave, a book written by a black to other blacks (and whites, yellows and browns), Anaya Binta, a black essayist argues that if Africa doesn't build a cognitive elite, the continent will be doomed forever. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about slavery, history, colonization, racism and black men's incapacity to build states where most Africans would like to live, hence mass immigration from Africa to live with and obey African's former masters and complain about the racism they suffer. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about African's favourite default mode: victimization and moral posturing and how Africans, Afro-Americans, Afro-Europeans must abandon both if they want to have meaningful changes in Africa, and in African diaspora around the world, and if they want to any chance of removing Africa's stain and its consequences in African men's lives...In Africa and all around the world. By now, of course, it should be known, that, Africa men's stain is the African Slavery that black men allowed to happenOnce a Slave, Always a Slave is a thought-provoking essay, as powerful as Aimé Césaire's "Discourse on Colonialism" and a work that may shock but which is the truth as Anaya Binta sees it, and believes All Africans should, if they want to respect the memory of those millions of Africans who were enslaved and treated as chattels.

Book Description
A retelling absent of the Red Sea For fifteen years, Thom believed he was a prince of Alpenwhist. He had climbed the castle turrets to survey his kingdom, learned to duel with the sharpest blades, and stirred up palace intrigue in disguise. That is, until one day when his identity is suddenly shattered by the revelations of a blind woman: He learns that he isn’t a prince at all, but a wretched slave. In a kingdom where ruthlessness is part of everyday life, Thom fears this new truth could be deadly. He takes flight, running from the life he knew and the one he despises, but the call to free his people beckons him home. Armed with a magic stone, which instructs him through surreal visions, he must topple his once beloved brother who has since become a tyrannical king. A fantastical retelling of the story of Moses, Thom’s adventure forces him to question if he can succeed in his quest without truly understanding who he is. Because it seems he must unravel his past, present, and future before he can let his people free.
