De 2012 à 2018, le programme Uniterres s’est donné pour objectif de rapprocher agriculteurs et bénéficiaires de l’aide alimentaire. Sur le terrain, un monde d’arrangements et de tensions : gestion inégale des stocks, logique d’évaluation et normes d’autonomie.
Cette ethnographie plonge au cœur des épiceries solidaires : entre contraintes institutionnelles, participation imposée et négociations silencieuses, le social se façonne moins dans les dispositifs officiels que dans des formes d’entraide informelles qui échappent aux indicateurs.
À hauteur de visages et de conditions matérielles, l’ouvrage met en lumière les tensions de l’action sociale contemporaine et interroge ses paradoxes : gérer la précarité sans renforcer les dépendances, mesurer l’humain sans le réduire et préserver la solidarité lorsqu’elle devient dispositif. Un territoire, des vies et une question politique : que fabrique réellement le social lorsqu’on affirme l’inventer ?

With colorful illustrations, engaging storytelling, and gentle life lessons, this book helps children develop environmental awareness while strengthening their language and thinking skills. Koko’s friendly voice inspires empathy, responsibility, and love for nature, empowering kids to see themselves as active protectors of the Earth.

Depuis toujours, l’humanité rêve d’échapper à la mort. Traumatisé par la perte de sa seule amie d’enfance, un homme richissime met toute sa fortune et ses moyens technologiques au service de ce rêve : atteindre l’immortalité. Lorsqu’il rouvre les yeux, il se retrouve dans son corps, au bord du Styx, à la frontière entre le monde des vivants et celui des morts. Il y croise ceux qui, avant lui, ont défié la mort : Orphée, Gilgamesh, et d’autres encore. Une femme l’approche et lui annonce que son immortalité est remise en cause par les dieux eux-mêmes. Il s’agit de Perséphone, souveraine des enfers, qui se propose d’être son avocate dans le procès qui l’attend. A-t-il vraiment sa place parmi les dieux ? Le Procès d’un immortel est un conte philosophique mêlant science-fiction et mythologie, où se confrontent la science et le sacré pour interroger la condition humaine et la notion même d’immortalité.

In the Inferno is part of the continuum starting from the poetry collection Under the Steel Yoke right through to the collection entitled Along the Way. The out of control veld fire is raging in homes and threatens to devour whole nations. The simple yet incisive poems address issues such as corruption, misrule, tyranny and despotism. Some of the poems address the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. The turmoil in the DRC also receives attention. The poems would be a damp squib if the writer did not address the Mugabe legacy and its impact on this country, Zimbabwe, which the late President of Tanzania Julius Mwalimu Nyerere called ‘a jewel? The poet takes a keen interest in world events but does not allow this to overshadow what he observes daily in his country of birth, Zimbabwe.

Internal reviews of tangible or perceived deviant behaviour within the contemporary business sphere typically involve expert individuals and teams drawn from the legal and financial services professions. These specialists, fraud examiners, conduct analytical reviews with a large degree of independence as financial detectives in the private policing aspects of internal investigations within client organisations. Such reviews encompass undertaking forensic or factual evaluations of documents, interviews with whistleblowers and suspects, and other investigative steps.

Souvent évincé face aux considérations d’urgence, le temps long n’apparaît pas toujours comme l’une des priorités du droit public, alors même que les enjeux pour l’avenir sont considérables.

Le présent ouvrage propose une réflexion collective sur l’existence d’un régime juridique propre au temps long.

L’analyse met successivement en lumière le développement d’institutions et d’instruments spécifiquement tournés vers la prise en considération de cette temporalité, dont la consécration vise à pallier les limites pesant sur la capacité des institutions et instruments traditionnels du droit public à s’en saisir. Elle rend ainsi compte de l’émergence d’un régime juridique propre au temps long, lequel n’en est cependant qu’à ses prémices. 

Cet ouvrage collectif est dirigé par Fannie Duverger et Lucie Havard.

La constitution d’une société commerciale dans le droit OHADA ne se conçoit pas sans apport des associés. L’acte uniforme relatif au droit des sociétés commerciales et du groupement d’intérêt économique prévoit trois types d’apports, regroupés en deux catégories  : les apports en capital et l’apport en industrie. Ce dernier ne bénéficie, paradoxalement, pas de la même attention que les autres types d’apports. L’analyse du régime juridique de l’apport en industrie révèle un apport dévalorisé et marginalisé. Ce paradigme doit être questionné et probablement reconsidéré parce que bien qu’ayant un caractère immatériel, l’apport en industrie mérite un meilleur sort que celui qui lui est réservé par le législateur communautaire.  

Cet ouvrage propose une approche innovante du régime juridique de l’apport en industrie et concourt à la construction d’une théorie refondatrice.

Le 15 octobre 1987, Thomas Sankara est assassiné dans une cour de Ouagadougou. Il a trente-sept ans. Ses bourreaux l’enterrent dans une fosse anonyme, espérant effacer avec lui l’espoir d’un continent. Ils se trompaient.
En quatre ans de révolution, ce capitaine avait transformé un pays parmi les plus pauvres du monde : autosuffisance alimentaire, émancipation des femmes, souveraineté économique, refus de la dette africaine porté à la tribune des Nations Unies. Sa cohérence morale en avait fait bien plus qu’un chef d’État : une conscience.
Près de quarante ans plus tard, Ibrahim Traoré, trente-quatre ans, prend le pouvoir à Ouagadougou. Il porte le béret rouge. Il cite Sankara. Il expulse les bases militaires françaises, nationalise les mines d’or, bâtit l’Alliance des États du Sahel. Est-il le continuateur authentique de la révolution inachevée, ou son épigone, qui emprunte le langage du mythe sans en partager la profondeur ? Ce livre instruit cette question sans complaisance.
La flamme ne s’éteint pas. Elle attend.

This is a work of historical witness, exposing grief and trauma with sensitivity and poetic creativity. Wariboko, in lines of austere beauty, has produced Biafran war narratives of sublime emotional power. Songs of Childhood provides a fresh minority-group access to the brutal reality and human fragility of the 1967-70 Nigerian civil war. The stories are true, and this poetry collection differs from the familiar in the annals of war narratives.

“This slim corpus of poems is an explosive dynamite! A dynamite that explodes, exposing chilling glimpses of hushed aspects of the untold cruelties inflicted on the marginalized ethnic groups…. The disruptive syntax in some poems conveys the dislocation of a-once peaceful, orderly world suddenly jolted into chaos, trepidation and turmoil. In the same vein, the terse telegraphic style translates, graphically, the abruptness, the brusqueness, and the sense of immediacy urged by the spontaneous flow of creative impulse in anxious moments of crisis and turbulence. Adiyi-Martin T. Bestman, Professor of French Literature, poet and literary critic, Writer-in-Residence, University of Port Harcourt.

“Nimi Wariboko makes the reader relive the Biafran war days and his childhood in an enchanting manner. Now far removed from childhood and the war days, the poet’s nostalgia and anxiety come to play in his poetic lines which recount the experience. The diction is simple and fully captures the innocence of childhood fraught with perils of a war foisted on the poet and his people. The language is fresh, and the images of war are innocent but life-threatening. Songs of Childhood: Biafran Memories is a major contribution to the poetry of childhood, civil war, and human existence. It flows like a river whose currents are sometimes disturbed by debris but whose progress is inevitable.” Tanure Ojaide, poet and scholar, the Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies, University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

“The poems, rendered through the eyes and sensibility of a child, are haunting and powerful. Songs of Childhood reminds me of Uwem Akpan’s novel, New York, My Village, in its recreation of the unique experience of the peoples of the Niger Delta (being buffeted by Biafran and Federal troops during the war). There’s lore and gore aplenty in this tender and heartrending poetic harvest. The reader is often spellbound by the sullied innocence and harried urgency of the poems’ narrator-persona. Kudos to Wariboko for deploying the idiom of poetry to enflesh these memories.” Okey Ndibe, author of Foreign Gods, Inc.

June 2024 gave rise to the RutoMustGo and the Gen Z resistance on the streets. This book looks at important developments in Kenya leading up to this protest, and the ongoing struggle that is still current. It is a timely collection of essays that not only record but analyse the current political situation in Kenya. Contributors include those active on the streets and the struggle that has taken social media by storm – records not likely to be found in many public libraries or research centres in Kenya. This is history in the making: a unique record of current events, which has relevance not only in Kenya, but Africa as a

whole and in the Global South where resistance to capitalism and imperialism is intense.

In From Mau Mau to RutoMustGo, we have a revolutionary book that will help radical parties and social movements in Kenya and beyond to continue to think through the practice of our struggles for a planet we wish to see. – Willy Mutunga

Democracy appears to be retreating in Kenya, drifting further into crisis with each wave of political violence – abductions, unlawful arrests, and targeted killings. The authoritative nature of the state and shrinking of civic space are alarming and deeply disturbing. This collection of reclaimed, radical historical narratives and strategic lessons offer to organisers and students of liberation, helpful tools for creatively and organically arranging collective resistance and imagining new futures. – Zach Patterson

Before the hum, there was a boy in a West African market who encountered the bees, crossed an ocean with nothing, and built a waterfront estate in Europe on a frequency his enemies spent decades trying to silence. The bees arrived without invitation. They always do.

Bee Mann: Stings from a One-Man Hive is the annotated poetry collection and Afrofuturist origin story of the Bee Mann, an interplanetary superhero built from the biography of Sierra Leonean-American author, emcee, and publisher Freddy Will. Across twenty-five poems in three Moments, this book travels from a market in West Africa to the streets of New Jersey, from the diplomatic halls of Brussels to Times Square, from the Wannsee estate in Berlin to the Null Plane, the dimension of pure silence from which no one returns unchanged.

The Bee Mann commands the global swarm, deploys solar fire that shelters the innocent and consumes the threat, and reads intention across dimensions before the body acts on it. At the center of the mythology is Amira Will, the Bee Woman, Colombian, German, Afropolitan, third-dan black belt, Queen of Wannsee the estate, and the most dangerous force the Bee Mann’s enemies never accounted for. Together, they raise three children, Jasmine, Nia, and Austin, in their waterfront estate, where too many enemies would arrive uninvited.

Arrayed against them: the Wasp Mann, mimic parasite and archnemesis. The Viper Queen and her six generals. The Flies, the industry, the systemic forces that have always tried to make a Black excellence at full altitude feel like trespass. They have not succeeded. Each chapter opens with an AI-generated portrait and square-shaped photograph, moves
into the poem, and flows into a griot-register annotation that is part mythological epic, part cultural criticism, part intimate memoir. The griot names everything. He flinches at
nothing. And he dismisses the entire army of enemies in two lines before the final chapter closes.

This book is the companion to Freddy Will’s landmark double album of the same name, his first studio release of all new material in over a decade. Two chambers of the same honeycomb. Neither complete without the other. Book One of the Bee Mann Trilogy.

They can burn the hive. They cannot kill the Bee Mann.

One Man. One Hive. One Mission.

Die Eisenbahn revolutionierte die Welt. Von Europa mit der wunderbaren Rigi-Bahn Über Amerika (wo man es inzwischen vergessen hat) nach Japan, wo der Bahnchef Abbitte tut, wenn der Hochgeschwindigkeitszug 15 Sekunden zu früh abfährt, bis nach Afrika war und ist manchmal die Eisenbahn die Triebfeder der Entwicklung. Als der Niedergang der Eisenbahn in Afrika begann, war der Traum von der Kap-Kairo Eisenbahn zwar immer noch ein Traum, aber mit Zwischenschaltung der Nilschiffe schon fast eine Wirklichkeit. 50 Jahre Vernachlässigung haben große Teile des Eisenbahnnetzes in Afrika ruiniert, aber wie auch anderswo in der Welt, hat in Afrika die Renaissance der Schiene begonnen, und die Eisenbahn von Kapstadt nach Kairo ist wieder aufgenommen in die Welt der Eisenbahnträume.

Toyota s’est fixé un objectif en apparence impossible : concilier profit et prospérité, performance industrielle et nature humaine, efficacité et respect de l’environnement.
Pour s’en approcher, l’entreprise a choisi une voie radicalement différente de la production de masse : le TPS, une stratégie qui vise « l’efficacité totale et réelle » par l’élimination des gaspillages, des variabilités et des surcharges, plutôt que par la surproduction et les économies d’échelle, sources de stocks, de surconsommation et d’externalités négatives.
Ce troisième volume se présente comme un véritable guide de voyage, destiné aux équipes comme aux dirigeants. Fort d’une longue pratique du système Toyota, l’auteur montre comment conduire et accompagner un chemin qui réconcilie le travail industriel avec la créativité humaine, en développant les capacités d’apprentissage, ces ressources puissantes et renouvelables qui constituent, pour Toyota, le cœur de la création de valeur et de la performance.

Les interventions de ce numéro d’Interstices, bien qu’elles soient différentes dans leurs objectifs, reposent sur les valeurs patrimoniales ancrées entre deux rives d’un Occident médiéval partagé.
Que ce soit Fès et le Maroc, Grenade et l’Andalousie, les articles ont ruisselé dans les jardins, les palais, les vastes prairies, les hautes collines. Chacun y va de ses idées, ses théories, ses convictions et ses questionnements. Ce qui se manifeste dans les narrations est le ressenti émotionnel d’un patrimoine qui a besoin d’être reconnu, sauvé et finalement valorisé dans tous ses aspects. Un ressenti pluriel guidé par l’espoir d’engendrer un renouveau culturel, urgence légitime dans la mesure où le patrimoine reste le fondement de la construction d’une nation.
Fès, étant le port d’attache d’où la plupart des intervenants embarquent pour la conquête d’un savoir enfoui et où ils retournent comme un ultime refuge, devient l’asile consacré à la réflexion sur un extérieur tumultueux.
Grenade, d’où l’on revient étourdi par la splendeur architecturale des monuments et les liens historiques qu’elle dégage, s’inscrit ici comme un pont entre les deux rives.

Adoptant une approche transdisciplinaire, cet ouvrage explore les incitations anthropo-sociologiques et financières liées au développement du secteur du café.
S’appuyant sur de nombreux entretiens et une revue approfondie de la littérature, il met en évidence le potentiel socio-culturel et économique de cette filière, qui pourrait devenir un véritable moteur de l’économie nationale, à condition d’être structurée et soutenue par une organisation efficace du marché.
La caféiculture constitue un excellent levier pour atteindre les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) des Nations Unies, grâce à sa capacité à sédentariser les producteurs, à réduire la déforestation et à générer des revenus durables pour les petits exploitants.
Ce livre se veut un outil d’aide à la décision pour les acteurs et les décideurs, en vue de permettre à l’État congolais de tirer pleinement profit de la relance du Coffea canephora (robusta), compte tenu des projections climatiques affectant la culture de l’arabica.
Depuis 2010, la demande mondiale en café a augmenté de 20 % et devrait doubler d’ici 2050.

Le XXe siècle de la pensée philosophique demeure irrévocablement lié à la phénoménologie, dont les interprétations ont souvent pris le pas sur le texte lui-même ainsi que sur la figure de son auteur. L’appel à un retour aux sources procède d’une rencontre et de l’exercice d’une liberté souveraine de penser, dans toute son intensité.
Le présent ouvrage propose une étude des écrits tardifs de Husserl, rédigés entre 1930 et 1937, et se donne avant tout comme une lecture : celle par laquelle l’écriture elle-même se met à apparaître dans son mouvement propre. Il s’agit de faire surgir en nous ce moment de manifestation dont nous devenons les témoins, comme d’un véritable avènement. Les textes posthumes étudiés révèlent des analyses portant sur des thématiques majeures : la téléologie, la philosophie première, ainsi que la constitution du phénomène au sein du monde de la vie.  
Notre étude s’attache à montrer que ces écrits ne se contentent pas de prolonger la phénoménologie : ils en engagent une refondation radicale, attestant le rôle d’un penseur soucieux d’en préciser, d’en dépasser et d’en élargir la portée.
Notre objectif est ainsi de renouer, à travers le miroir de l’histoire, avec une pensée exceptionnelle qui a ouvert, par sa générosité, la possibilité d’un renouveau décisif du savoir universel.

In recent years, here in Malawi there has been a lot of discussing going on if men and women are equal or not. Even the Chichewa language adopted the English word gender to become jenda. In these discussions the Bible is freguently quoted, and the creation story is seen as giving men the right to rule over women. This little book explains carefully the relationship of men and women in the first three chapters of the bible, and comes to a conclusion quite different from what many people think:
In the beginning God created them equal.

Set in the American social system, here is a brilliant exploration of the tense and intricate relationship that can occur between fame and faith within the context of identity issues. Two protagonists, Sasha Storm and Shay Miller, embark on a journey of self-discovery as they both live parallel lives influenced by one another, especially after one of them, the biggest musician and pop star in the world, loses her singing voice. What would you do if your talent, the very essence of your being, disappeared overnight? The emergent psychological and social complexities of contrasting and competitive lifestyles are delicately exposed and explored in this emotion-gripping tale of defining and redefining purpose of life and humanity.

This volume makes an incisive contribution to the field of philosophy of culture, filling a gap between the relevant scholarship in cultural studies and philosophy. In outlining the potential of Wittgenstein’s philosophy for the study and criticism of popular culture, it aims to establish his work as an alternative or addition to existing approaches (Marxist, post-structuralist, etc.) in the field of popular culture theory. The essays outline the methodological framework of Wittgensteinian approaches to philosophy and conceptual analysis. Each essay demonstrates their merits by looking at particular examples such as analyses of popular films and TV series, detective fiction, comics, or shared practices of fandom. Thus, we encounter varieties of what it means to engage with approaches to criticism of pop in a Wittgensteinian way.

Contemporary Taiwanese Horror Cinema investigates the resurgence of horror and ghost films in Taiwan’s vibrant cinematic landscape. By analyzing a range of works, from postmodern horror comedies to art-house meditations, the book reveals how ghostly motifs serve as powerful metaphors for identity, historical trauma, and cultural renewal. Bridging traditional folklore with the digital age, Taiwanese filmmakers explore issues of memory, spirituality, and societal transformation, responding to both local and global shifts. Through a multidisciplinary lens combining film studies, cultural history, and media theory, this book offers a fresh and comprehensive examination of contemporary Taiwanese cinema. It highlights the dialogue between genre cinema and art-house aesthetics, and situates Taiwan’s “ghost island” narratives within broader conversations on globalization, queer representation, and cinematic innovation. Accessible and richly documented, Contemporary Taiwanese Horror Cinema addresses scholars, students, and cinephiles interested in Asian cinema, horror studies, and cultural identity.

This book is a pioneering work that examines cultural diversity policies in Argentina, Brazil, and Peru over the past 15 years. The book offers a critical analysis of the rationalities and concepts underpinning these policies, exposing their inherent contradictions and the social forces that have both supported and resisted their implementation. By highlighting the struggles of marginalized groups in their pursuit of social, economic, and political equality, it reveals the deep intersections between culture, identity, and power. The book situates these discussions within the broader context of Latin America’s colonial legacy and ongoing decolonization efforts. It demonstrates how the region’s nation-states, often founded on myths of cultural homogeneity, have grappled with the complex realities of diverse populations. Through detailed case studies, the book showcases how cultural diversity has become a powerful tool for social empowerment, particularly among racialized groups and other marginalized communities. It also offers insights into the evolution of these policies, tracing the ways in which they have responded to grassroots movements and the global discourse on cultural citizenship. Furthermore, this work contributes to global debates by positioning Latin America as a key player in rethinking cultural policies that promote diversity, justice, and inclusion. It reflects on the lessons learned from observing these policies, urging readers to consider the broader implications for social cohesion and inclusive development. This work not only provides a thorough analysis of Latin America’s unique contributions to cultural policy but also underscores the urgent need for more dynamic, intercultural approaches to address the challenges of the 21st century.

Un spectre hante le monde : l’effondrement écologique. Pour le conjurer, les uns prêchent une croissance verte, les autres une décroissance heureuse. Bien qu’opposés, ces slogans se fondent sur l’espoir d’une « transition énergétique », avec son cortège de fées, les énergies renouvelables, l’intelligence artificielle… Mais la guerre des métaux a commencé, nos mégapoles sont des colosses aux pieds d’argile, l’injustice climatique s’aggrave, la démocratie est attaquée de toutes parts. Et la Terre brûle.
Que sera notre monde à +2°C et au-delà ? Le salut ne viendra pas de la technologie, ni du marché, et encore moins des dictatures. L’avenir est imprévisible, mais pour le rendre possible, rien n’est plus urgent que de cultiver le courage, la liberté, la solidarité. Cet ouvrage propose une boîte à outils pour évaluer le projet de transition au vu de la réalité du capitalisme, et imaginer d’autres façons d’habiter la Terre.

Le Soudan contemporain a connu depuis son indépendance plusieurs coups d’État et gouvernements militaires de transition. Sa population, religieusement diversifiée, est constituée de chrétiens, d’animistes et d’une majorité de musulmans dominant le pouvoir politique et économique.
Depuis sa souveraineté, aucun chef d’État n’a tenu longtemps, hormis le maréchal Omar el-Béchir, un Frère musulman qui régna trente ans (1989-2019). Quels sont les secrets de cette longévité au pouvoir et les causes réelles et fondamentales de sa chute ?
Cet ouvrage met en exergue un système de gouvernance par camouflage, oscillant entre charia islamique, guerres civiles et démocratie. Après une analyse poussée de l’ascension au pouvoir des Frères musulmans avec le coup d’État sans effusion de sang d’el-Béchir puis de l’évolution économique du Soudan sous leur règne, il dresse la politologie des causes réelles de la chute d’el-Béchir puis celle de la révolution et des péripéties de la transition après sa destitution.

Depuis son émergence aux États-Unis au début des années  1950, l’industrie de la restauration rapide s’est construite autour d’une double exigence  : servir vite et produire à faible coût. De cette logique est née une organisation du travail fondée sur le juste-à-temps et le flux tendu, adaptée à la nature périssable des produits.
Loin de rompre avec le modèle industriel classique, le fast-food prolonge la logique taylorienne-fordienne  : standardisation des tâches, intensification des rythmes, contrôle strict des procédures et faible autonomie des salariés. Cette organisation repose principalement sur une main-d’œuvre jeune, peu stabilisée et soumise à un fort turn-over.
À partir d’une enquête menée notamment chez Pizza Hut, McDonald’s et Quick, cet ouvrage montre que la viabilité du flux tendu dépend du renouvellement permanent des équipes et de la disponibilité d’une main-d’œuvre étudiante ou en situation transitoire. À travers le cas du fast-food, cette étude propose une réflexion plus large sur les transformations contemporaines du travail et les nouvelles formes de rationalisation productive.

Nous gardons tous en nous la mémoire des bibliothèques qui ont façonné notre regard de lecteurs et d’écrivains  : les petites bibliothèques d’enfance, familières et fondatrices?; les grandes bibliothèques publiques, vastes comme des cathédrales de savoir?; les bibliothèques de recherche, discrètes et exigeantes, où se précise la pensée?; et enfin nos bibliothèques personnelles, où s’accumulent les livres aimés, hérités, retrouvés ou jamais rendus.
Cet ouvrage collectif réunit des voix diverses qui racontent, avec sensibilité et subjectivité, les liens singuliers qu’elles entretiennent avec ces lieux de mémoire et d’apprentissage. Il ne s’agit pas d’un traité savant, mais d’une traversée intime des bibliothèques qui accompagnent une vie de lecture, d’étude et d’écriture.
Une invitation à redécouvrir les espaces où naissent nos curiosités, se forgent nos idées et s’épanouissent nos imaginaires.

Half and Half of a Dream explores our fascination and fear of dreams, examines the ressentiment that frames political dreaming, and raises questions about the validity of diasporic dreams of identity, time, and place using poignant metaphor and imagery. This poetry collection, in its Walcottian approach, captures the desire to return home and the realities of living in the diaspora, even while criticizing the socio-political factors that force individuals from their homes and create hardship for those who remain. This is a work of technical control, sustained by a vision of human flourishing, outcome of fundamental concerns with simultaneous continuity and discontinuity, rapture and rupture, hope and hopelessness, or unity and division. Half and Half of a Dream is a magnificent exploration of the validity of individual dreams. The collection explores the intricate relationship between individual dreams and the enduring pull of a diasporic past. Rooted in the poet’s longing for their homeland, it transcends nostalgia, examining the dreams of the past, present, and future through affecting imagery and introspective questioning. As readers navigate the landscapes of memory and aspiration alongside the poet, they are compelled to confront their own dreams and the intricate roots from which they spring.
-Jumoke Comfort Verissimo, award-winning poet and novelist. Author, i am memory.

The strength of his poetry is obvious. The use of imagery, both sensory and figurative, coheres with the nuances of the social contexts that foreground the poems. Whether in dreamscapes or physical milieux, there is a density of reality as each persona speaks truth to time and forges art that will perdure via cadences that embody the life we live. It is humanity that manifests itself; it is our angst and anger; it is our pain and sorrow; it is our defiance and resilience; it is our victory that presents this poet’s métier over and over.-Obari Gomba, three-time winner of the Association of Nigerian Authors Prize, winner Nigeria Prize for Literature, and winner PAWA Prize for African Poetry.

A masterpiece collection…. Half and Half of a Dream is a poetic representation of the Nigerian society, garnished with cascading metaphors and movingly evocative imageries. Wariboko, through vivid language, rich imageries, personifications, and extended metaphors, captures the depths of sociopolitical realities of the nation in this collection, examining the fragile balance between dreams and disillusionment, and the perilous influence of religion on the African continent.
-Professor Toyin Falola, renowned historian.
