The Stool
The sacred stool is an emblem of power and prestige. Two different men covet the stool; each determined to grab the succession by any means, fair or foul. The rivalry of the two men sparks off violent confrontations, until an occurrence which is bigger than both of them. Kwakuvi Azasu is a creative writer and lecturer in literature. First published in 1982, this novel has been republished to coincide with the publication of the author's more recent fictional writing, The Slave Raiders (2002) and The Invitation (forthcoming, Ghana Univ.

Metaphor and the Slave Trade in West African Literature
Metaphor and the Slave Trade provides compelling evidence of the hidden but unmistakable traces of the transatlantic slave trade that persist in West African discourse. Through an examination of metaphors that describe the trauma, loss, and suffering associated with the commerce in human lives, this book shows how the horrors of slavery are communicated from generation to generation. Laura T. Murphy’s insightful new readings of canonical West African fiction, autobiography, drama, and poetry explore the relationship between memory and metaphor and emphasize how repressed or otherwise marginalized memories can be transmitted through images, tropes, rumors, and fears. By analyzing the unique codes through which West Africans have represented the slave trade, this work foregrounds African literary contributions to Black Atlantic discourse and draws attention to the archive that metaphor unlocks for scholars of all disciplines and fields of study.
