Festus Sama-Ambe
Kindle | Google eBook
Informed by a global space animated by various conflicts, this book brings a refreshing perspective on how the disciplines of literature and language engage this phenomenon. In its shift from a purely political interrogation of conflict, the volume provides a broad analytic canvas on which human behaviour in such contexts can be examined. This is an ultimate invitation to a re-visioning of socio-cultural parameters of identity construction, borders, natural resources, religion, cultural values, beliefs, governance, ideology, and globalisation. The book’s varied perspective, animated by a rich diversity of literary and linguistic approaches, gives it an interdisciplinary emphasis that will appeal to readers across disciplines. Its ultimate message is that conflict is not subject-bound. The liberal analysis of different aspects makes the volume an invaluable asset not only to literature and language scholars but also to everyone with inclinations towards conflict creation and management.

Critics’ Review
“…The Anniversary is the product of a versatile mind with a flair for superb language twists and sprightly conversation, rich in colloquial idiom. Its style is at once fluent, evocative, and lively. The precocious effort that demonstrates the power of drama to entertain, move, teach, and especially disturb, deserves its place in the niche reserved for the greats.”
—Tameh Valentine, Educationist
“The play mirrors the subconscious of many African countries who for a greater part of their lives, have known corrupt dictators. Sama-Ambe demonstrates that no matter how dictatorial and oppressive a government is, a united people against a common enemy, and a recognition of the power of women can be a potent tool to topple an oppressive government.”
—Lilian Atanga, co-editor of When the Sun Turns Red
“…The thrust of the play is to shine a light on the perils of autocracy and the resilience of those who refuse to be silenced in the face of oppression.”
—Peter Suh-Nfor Tangyie, President, ACWA, North West Branch
