This historical account of cinema in Nigeria explores the transcultural transfer of media from India to Africa through films.Hausa Cinema of Northern Nigeria examines how the Hindi Cinema of India became the template for storytelling in the Hausa regional cinema of Northern Nigeria and explores the emergence of Indigenous language within cinema in this region. Such emergence created points of divergence with the Islamic public culture leading to censorship both within the entertainment industry and the newly re-introduced Shari’a government of Kano. Throughout this book, Abdalla Uba Adamu explores the tension between Islamic society and the intrusion of transglobal media influences in cinema in Kano. He provides a deeper understanding of global media transnationalism and its impact on Muslim African popular culture. This book also discusses how the Muslim Hausa youth used the agencies of transglobal media technologies to transform the Hausa narrative style from a linear and didactic format to a complex configuration. By examining the Hausa film industry’ s history, Adamu challenges the notion of cultural and media imperialism and the dominance of media consumption in contemporary African societies.

The Imaginative Vision of Abdilatif Abdalla’s Voice of Agony

The extraordinary Swahili poetry collection Sauti ya Dhiki (Voice of Agony) is a collection of prison poems composed by Abdilatif Abdalla between 1969 and 1972. He originally wrote the poems while incarcerated by the government of Jomo Kenyatta for sedition as a result of his political activism and smuggled them out of prison on scraps of paper. Imaginative Vision is the first complete literary translation into English—translated by the late Kenyan novelist and scholar Ken Walibora Waliaula and edited by Annmarie Drury—of one of the most esteemed and influential collections of Swahili poetry of the twentieth century. Yet, Imaginative Vision is also something more. Even as it centers on a literary translation of a singularly beautiful and influential book of poetry, it tells English-language readers the story of that book. Supporting materials illuminate the circumstances of its inception when Abdilatif, aged 22, was arrested and tried. They explore what the volume meant to its first readers and its affiliations with subsequent extraordinary works of prison literature by Alamin Mazrui and Ngugi wa Thiong’o. They trace its links to literary art of the past, including the nineteenth-century poet Muyaka bin Haji, and to writing that followed. And they explain social and historical aspects of the Swahili coastal world that nurtured Abdilatif’s political engagement and stunning verbal art. Under the editorship of scholar, translator, and poet Annmarie Drury, contributors bring insights from their diverse backgrounds to present contextualizing material that illuminates the poems at the heart of this book.

Dr. Abdalla Rashad Tau is the Founder of The Exposure Foundation, Inc., the platform he utilizes to introduce individuals to ideas and experiences outside of their immediate belief system and physical environment. His sophomore book, Embracing Toby, is a work that is definitely "outside of the box" and a great follow-up to his first book, Delinquent to Doctor. Embracing Toby was developed to be thought provoking and ignite conversations throughout the African Diaspora of how we can extinguish cancerous mindsets, behaviors, and rituals that were planted in our minds, bodies, and spirits during a time of overt European Colonialism, Trickery, and the rewriting of history. Embracing Toby will highlight various characteristics of the African community that are counterproductive to its existence. The purpose of Embracing Toby is not to point fingers or place blame on present or past villains. Nor is the purpose to influence individuals to hate or have malice in their heart toward their fellow man. I want us to self-assess and gauge what works and what does not work in our lives. Hopefully, self-reflection and being open to change may create more optimal levels of mental, physical, and spiritual health.

This book contains many, many words. But these words are not just words. They tell stories. They create images. They inspire. They lift up. They speak life where there is death. They speak hope where there is despair. They touch minds, hearts and souls. These words are not just words. They breathe life. They create hunger. They stimulate growth. These words are not just words. They make you think. They make you think about yourself, your life. They make you think about others. Try these words. I challenge you. Taste and see if they are just words.
