Elders of the Mace
Angebote / Angebote:
Watuland, a fictitious country in Africa, is in turmoil. People
have abandoned their culture and the effects of poor
environmental management are felt as rivers dry and drought
bites. The authority of the council of elders is weakening,
especially with the death of their chief elder - Chuchu Mukulu.
To bring back order, the elders revert to their age-old cultural
wisdom but also seek the help of the most learned son of the
land - Tenne - who is in America. As they wade through the
maze of discovery, a beautiful story unfolds where readers see a
vivid picture of the post-independent African society, culture
and traditions. Issues of governance are addressed through a
social commentary on equitable distribution of resources,
gender balance, corruption, bad leadership and police brutality.
A read through this captivating story reveals the Africans' effort
to address issues affecting them through an integration of
modern education, technology and traditional culture.
A people without reflection are doomed for they cannot sustain
tomorrow. - Elders
