The Visa
This play highlights some of the consequences of UK visa restrictions on international students from sub-Saharan Africa; it also examines the ways in which these students respond to the challenges posed by immigration rules and the new culture. Eku, Abou, Priscilla and Ibrahim are university lecturers in their countries of origin who are currently pursuing postgraduate degrees in the UK. For Eku, the brutal and savage rebel war in his country (Sierra Leone) necessitates that he must bring his children to safety in the UK. However, he has neither the financial resources to obtain air tickets, nor the visas for his children without assistance. On the other hand, although Ibrahim has the means ...

Hybrid Eyes
Hybrid Eyes - Reflections of an African in Europe is a moving and insightful account of the experiences of a young Sierra Leonean graduate who achieves his dream of going to Europe for further studies. As he encounters people and institutions, his idealistic expectations of German society soon give way to the harsh realities of discrimination and other disadvantages foreigners, especially black Africans, face in their host country. But not all Germans discriminate against blacks and blame the problems of their country on foreigners. Hybrid Eyesis compelling reading for everyone. It is a story that young people who aspire to study in Europe should read to help them prepare for adjustment to the demands of their prospective foreign environment. It is also a sound warning to those who wish to explore the greener pastures of Europe that the grass is not as green as they think, or are made to believe. Written in simple, straightforward English, and neatly structured in interwoven episodes, Hybrid Eyes is also highly recommended for schools.

Singing in Exile and The Child of War
This collection of poems examines the causes of the African, specifically Sierra Leonean, condition, evaluates the African immigrant's situation in the West, hints at the role and culpability of corporate West in African wars and woes, and concludes that Africans must ultimately assume the responsibility of rebuilding their continent.
Combination Cancer Therapy
Expert physician-scientists and clinicians review those combinations of novel target agents classic chemotherapies that hold the most promise for the future of medical oncology, and detail their optimal sequence, pharmacokinetic interactions, and interaction with downstream cellular signals. The combinations run the gamut of targeted therapies against cell surface receptors (EGF-R and HER2), the cell cycle (the CDKs), signal transduction events (PKC and NF-kB), apoptosis (bcl-2), as well as focused therapies in ovarian cancer, hematologic diseases, and breast cancer. The authors emphasize novel translational approaches that are rapidly moving from the laboratory bench top to the patient's bedside for the future treatments in cancer therapy.
Indigene Soziale Arbeit
Die auf internationaler Ebene anhaltende Diskussion um eine Indigenisierung Sozialer Arbeit offenbart zunehmend, wie inadäquat die Anpassung westlicher Ansätze ist. Auf der Grundlage von Erkenntnissen aus einer mehrjährigen ethnografischen Untersuchung widmet sich die Studie der entwicklungspolitisch relevanten Fragestellung nach den Möglichkeiten einer Theorie Sozialer Arbeit in Subsahara-Afrika anhand des exemplarischen Landes Sierra Leone. Deutlich wird, dass ein tiefes Verständnis der präkolonialen, kolonialen und postkolonialen Situation des jeweiligen Landes dafür unumgänglich ist. Am Beispiel der NGO AIM analysiert Rothenberger die sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen und die bisher erreichten Ziele dieser lokalen Organisation, wobei sie einen Schwerpunkt auf Maßnahmen zur Linderung der weiblichen Armut legt.
In the Belly of the Lion
The stories in the anthology flash different pictures of being in their unique time capsules. The writers have examined the toll the collective human trauma has taken and brought on board on the Sierra Leonean way of life, a way of life that now requires a new way of life. 'In the Belly of the Lion' represents the voices of the generation of writers whose works came of age in the middle of the war and after...
