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 Eyes is 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 ...
Beautiful Colours
In this book, the author talks to his readers about the colours, BLACK and WHITE, and about the concept of racism. The objective of the book is to highlight the roles played by our history, our language, our culture, our politics, our religion and our economy in promoting racism. The author however cautions that, "our concern with racism should not diminish our sense of the gravity of other no less virulent forms of bigotry. It should be clear that discrimination, even when it is not racist, should not be tolerated. Some non-racist forms of discrimination which can even lead to ethnic genocide are just as dangerous as racism."

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.

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...

Handbuch Postkolonialismus und Literatur
Das Handbuch bietet erstmals einen umfassenden interdisziplinären Überblick über die postkoloniale Theorie und Forschung in den Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften. Es verbindet die Einführung in das Thema mit einer kritischen Zwischenbilanz zu diesem internationalen Forschungsfeld. Auf einen Theorieteil und die lexikalische Darstellung von postkolonialen Grundbegriffen folgen Artikel zur Literatur-, Kultur- und Mediengeschichte des Kolonialismus und Postkolonialismus in den betroffenen Kulturräumen sowie ein Anhang mit historischen Überblicken zu einzelnen Ländern und weiterführenden Informationen.
