Book excerpt: Africa, Your righteous disorders Break my heart ... — Kabedoopong Piddo Ddibe’st, Uganda “This Anthology exposes both the sorry-state and unspoken nature of Africa, and Her people, in this recent time. A masterpiece that wakes up an African to have a conscious conscience.” –Udekwe Chikadibia Enugu State, Nigeria As pollution and global warming threaten the balance of life on our planet, the beautiful continent of Africa is in crisis. In the wake of greedy corporations mining valuable natural resources, and through the exchange of rights to such resources, large regions of Africa are under a terrible reign of social injustice, with atrocities including ritualistic rape and murder, artificial war, induced famine and extreme political corruption. In an anthology created to illuminate these atrocities, twenty-one African poets share over one hundred poems that highlight the problems plaguing their homeland. Through poignant verse, these poets offer often shocking insight into a land known for its generosity of spirit and warmth of its people who bravely stand strong in the face of unthinkable tragedy.
