Book Description
"Uhuru: A Quest for True Freedom" is a radical and controversial collection of essays that fearlessly explores political, social, religious, financial, and general matters to expose the oppression of African people globally. Written from a South African perspective with an aggressive tone, this thought-provoking non-fiction work challenges misleading popular history and offers alternative narratives based on sensible backing arguments. It delves into sensitive issues, particularly in religion, making it a must-read for those seeking a factual and intriguing examination of prevailing societal norms. The book aims to disrupt conventional perceptions and introduce readers to a fresh perspective on various subjects. It critically analyzes the ongoing impacts of colonialism and emphasizes the importance of African self-determination and independence. It sheds light on unequal global power dynamics that continue to influence politics and economics, advocating for the reclamation and revitalization of oppressed African identities, histories, and knowledge systems. By highlighting past injustices such as slavery, colonialism, and apartheid, the book calls for accountability and reconciliation. Furthermore, "Uhuru" confronts present-day challenges such as poverty, corruption, and underdevelopment, presenting African-led initiatives as a means to empower communities and foster growth. It challenges harmful stereotypes and ideologies that have been used to subjugate African peoples, aiming to forge more inclusive and just societies. The book advocates for pan-African cooperation, emphasizing the importance of autonomy and shared prosperity through platforms like the African Union (AU). By igniting difficult but necessary public discourse, "Uhuru" grapples with the complexities of the post-colonial era and seeks continuous improvement while pursuing the social and economic empowerment of marginalized groups through African-centered solutions. It aligns with laudable goals and aspirations, encouraging readers to critically examine and challenge prevailing narratives, ultimately paving the way for a more equitable and empowered Africa.

Independence or Nothing
Author: Jerry Jumbam
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546289186
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The intended audience is all the people of the world who are concerned about the oppressed and suffering people deprived of justice and struggling under colonial oppression. The context of the book is the aggression and tyranny the British Southern Cameroonians are undergoing as a result of an artificial union that has subjugated the British Southern Cameroonians to the oppression of the successive La Republique du Cameroun governments (prompted by some Western imperialists) for fifty-seven years now. The book underscores the fact that the principle of self-determination in non-violent ways can solve the legitimate problems many world constituted regions are facing today. Moreover, it is a book that demonstrates in Christian theological ways how the oppressed and marginalized in society can rise up against tyranny and subjugation. The book is about the theology of self-determination. The author of the book (a theologian), inspired by his profound knowledge of Christian theology, believes that, through this theological vision of self-determination, the church must be engaged in the political and economic liberation of Africa and anywhere in the world where people are tyrannized.

A Life for Freedom
Author: Denis Goldberg
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813166853
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
From June 1963 to October 1964, ten antiapartheid activists were tried at South Africa's Pretoria Supreme Court. Standing among the accused with Nelson Mandela, Ahmed Kathrada, and Walter Sisulu was Denis Goldberg. Charged under the Sabotage and Suppression of Communism Acts for "campaigning to overthrow the government by violent revolution," Goldberg was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The only white man convicted during the infamous Rivonia trial, he played a historic role in the struggle for justice in South Africa. In this remarkable autobiography, Goldberg discusses growing up acutely aware of the injustice permeating his homeland. He joined the South African Communist Party and helped found the Congress of Democrats. It was his role as an officer in the armed underground wing of the African National Congress (ANC), however, that led to his life sentence -- the outcome of which was a staggering twenty-two years behind bars. While he was incarcerated, the racist dogma of apartheid imposed complete separation from his black comrades and colleagues, a segregation that denied him both the companionship and the counsel of his fellow accused. Recounted with humor and humility, Goldberg's story not only provides a sweeping overview of life in South Africa both during and after apartheid, but also illuminates the experiences of the activists and oppressors whose fates were bound together.
