Affront
Ce livre est un recueil de poèmes qui dénonce en particulier, l'empire colonial français, englué dans ses méfaits. Avec elle, ses suppôts africains. Il appelle au sursaut, les peuples africains sous oppression française. Il dénonce le système de prédation des nations dites puissantes; surtout, leur cynisme, leur barbarie et leur démence avérés. Il dénonce la globalisation sous sa forme biaisée. Il fait remarquer la tribulation du peuple dit Noir, en indexant les bourreaux réels de celui-ci. Par dessus tout, il est un appel à un humanisme réel et à une liberté par tous partagée sans discrimination raciale.
Sticks and Stones
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." This schoolyard rhyme projects an invulnerability to verbal insults that sounds good but rings false. Indeed, the need for such a verse belies its own claims. For most of us, feeling insulted is a distressing-and distressingly common-experience.

Toward a Rhetoric of Insult
From high school cafeterias to the floor of Congress, insult is a truly universal and ubiquitous cultural practice with a long and earthy history. And yet, this most human of human behaviors has rarely been the subject of organized and comprehensive attention—until Toward a Rhetoric of Insult. Viewed through the lens of the study of rhetoric, insult, Thomas M. Conley argues, is revealed as at once antisocial and crucial for human relations, both divisive and unifying. Explaining how this works and what exactly makes up a rhetoric of insult prompts Conley to range across the vast and splendidly colorful history of offense. Taking in Monty Python, Shakespeare, Eminem, Cicero, Henry Ford, and the Latin poet Martial, Conley breaks down various types of insults, examines the importance of audience, and explores the benign side of abuse. In doing so, Conley initiates readers into the world of insult appreciation, enabling us to regard insults not solely as means of expressing enmity or disdain, but as fascinating aspects of human interaction.
