The Violent Nile: A Novella on East Africa (EPUB)

Inspired by the author’s own experiences from his time spent in East Africa, The Violent Nile is a moving account of the hardships faced by the Luo community under the biased and oppressive Bantro regime. It explores the theme of inter-tribal conflicts, which are a common occurrence in the region and quite often take on barbarous proportions, leaving behind a trail of widowed women and fatherless children. Through deftly woven in tales of human bonds and relationships and elaborate descriptions of wedding ceremonies, match-making practices and other rituals, the author has painted an evocative portrait of tribal community life.
