Chronologically, it begins in 1993 with the first time he interviews Ngugi wa Thiong'o and ends in 2016, when Cantalupo last interviews him. In between, the decades reveal Cantalupo as a writer moving from a primarily Euro-American literary and cultural viewpoint to a continuum with African literatures and languages. Compelled by their power and their translation, he becomes deeply engaged with Eritrea, while also probing the process of translation itself.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735574061329,"sku":"NGR9781569025741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1569025746.jpg?v=1751245475"},{"product_id":"woodstock-sandal-and-further-steps-book-charles-cantalupo-9781569027134","title":"The Woodstock Sandal and Further Steps","description":"The Woodstock Sandal and Further Steps reveals the growth of a poet's mind is inseparable from where, when, and with whom these poems take place over fifty years' time.

At once adventurous, spiritual, political, dreamlike, and humorous, Joining Africa is a unique documentary of a journey through the continent, including an intense five-year encounter with economically struggling but culturally fertile Eritrea. The Africa presented here is neither a postcolonial study nor an exotic tourist destination. It is rich with the voices of its people, whose languages, Cantalupo argues, have greater potential to effect change than any NGO or high-profile celebrity. In vibrant prose, Cantalupo's book extends a stirring invitation to reevaluate how we engage -- both individually and collectively -- with this remarkable part of the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394941128977,"sku":"CIN1611860369G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1611860369.jpg?v=1763114983"},{"product_id":"war-and-peace-in-contemporary-eritrean-poetry-book-charles-cantalupo-9789987080533","title":"War and Peace in Contemporary Eritrean Poetry","description":"War and Peace in Contemporary Eritrean Poetry focuses on Eritrean written poetry from roughly the last three decades of the twentieth century. The poems appear in the anthology Who Needs a Story? Contemporary Eritrean Poetry in Tigrinya, Tigre and Arabic from which a selection is offered here in their original scripts of Ge'ez or Arabic, and in English translation. Who Needs a Story? is the first anthology of contemporary poetry from Eritrea ever published, and War and Peace in Contemporary Eritrean Poetry is the first book on the subject. Therefore, the groundbreaking effort of the former warrants a discussion of its means of cultural production. All of the poets in Who Needs a Story? participated in the Eritrean struggle for independence (1961-91) as freedom fighters and\/or as supporters in the Eritrean diaspora. Thus, contemporary Eritrean poetry divides itself between experiences of war and peace, although one can contain the other as well. War and Peace in Contemporary Eritrean Poetry also includes an extended analysis of one of Eritrea's most famous contemporary poets Reesom Haile, as an example of the kind of extended analysis that many of the poets of Who Needs a Story? should stimulate and, last but not least, a meditation on how the author, a non-native speaker, personally becomes involved in Eritrean poetry translation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51067825455377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51067826438417,"sku":"NIN9789987080533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482628944145,"sku":"NLS9789987080533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9987080537.jpg?v=1751001269"},{"product_id":"where-war-was-poems-and-translations-from-eritrea-book-charles-cantalupo-9789987753611","title":"Where War Was.
