Summary of Chris Lockhart & Daniel Mulilo Chama's Walking the Bowl
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Timo made his way through the Chibolya Township, a slum area in central Lusaka. The area was known for its drug trade, and Timo wanted out. He was almost eighteen and had been living in the township for ten years. He did not want it to be for nothing. #2 Timo went to visit Simon, a man who had once worked for the Ministry of Agriculture. He was now a junkie, stealing radios, phones, and laptops to support his heroin habit. #3 Timo was going to meet with one of Lusaka’s most powerful drug dealers, Seven Spirits, and convince him that he was the right person for the job. It was a plan that had been sitting with him for months. But it was a complication: the leader of the Gaza Strip Boys, Timo’s gang, was going to be there. #4 Timo went to the Lusaka CBD to look for Chansa. He didn’t have the correct directions, but he eventually found a rambling one-story house at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac that read JESUS CARES in the front yard.

I Am Not Your Slave
I am Not Your Slave is the shocking true story of a young African girl, Tupa, who was abducted from southwestern Africa and funneled through an extensive yet almost completely unknown human trafficking network spanning the entire African continent. As she is transported from the point of her abduction on a remote farm near the Namibian-Angolan border and channeled to her ultimate destination in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, her three-year odyssey exposes the brutal horrors of a modern day middle passage. During her ordeal, Tupa encounters members of Africa's notorious gangs, terrifying witchdoctors, mysterious middlemen from China, corrupt police and border officials, Arab smugglers and high-ranking United Nations officials.

New Intimacies, Old Desires
In the last 15 years, queer movements in many parts of the world have helped secure the rights of queer people. These moments have been accompanied by the brutal rise of crony capitalism, the violent consequences of the ‘war on terror’, the hyper-juridification of politics, the financialization/ managerialization of social movements and the medicalization of non-heteronormative identities/ practices. How do we critically read the celebratory global proliferation of queer rights in these neoliberal times?
