Nigeria Ojukwu Azikiwe Biafra Beyond the Rising Sun

Behind the Rising Sun
A war novel by Nigerian novelist and politician Sebastian Okechukwu Mezu. The novel was first published by Heinemann, and later reprinted in 1972 as part of the influential African Writers Series. The novel explores the events of the Nigerian Civil War (also known as the Biafra War). The novel is the first novel to deal with the war, following, and does so from a Biafran perspective. The novel suggests that the Nigerian victory in the war was not due to an aptitude by the Nigerian forces, but by the ineptitude of Baifran ability.

African Literature in French
This 1976 book provides both a historical survey and a critical analysis of the literature in French from West and Equatorial Africa. Professor Blair begins by discussing the social, educational and political influences which led to the formation of the Negritude movement and to a flowering of French-African creative writing. This historical approach is then complemented by a study of the different literary genres. She traces the evolution of the first manifestations of literary activity in French by African writers, the written folk-tale, fable and short story, from the oral tradition of the indigenous culture, and the eventual appearance of the novel with a legendary or historical theme. The origins of French-African drama are considered for the first time, and the work of the minor poets analysed. Finally, Professor Blair attempts a definition of the French-African novel, and studies examples from three major periods from the 1930s onwards.
John Paul II and Africa
Catholic Women: Carriers of Living Water to a World that Thirsts for Peace, examines why the world lacks peace, the definition and signification of living water, who Catholic Women are, and their role as carriers of living water to a thirsty world. God is the source of living water and anyone infused with grace can be a carrier of this living water that brings eternal life. Psalm 42 captures this unquenchable thirst: "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God. When Shall I See You face to face?" Water is life. This work will attempt to identify the source of living water, its essential qualities and the virtues of Trust (Faith), Patience, Humility, Obedience and Love which are indispensable requirements for procuring this living water that revives, cleanses, heals, quenches thirst and guarantees us a share of divine life with our Triune God.
