Dancing With Hyenas
Dancing with Hyenas is a tour-de-force that blends excellent prose with fact-driven stories to give a fresh perspective of the black struggle against the oppressive conditions of apartheid South Africa. The reader is taken 'behind the scenes' to conversations and strategy sessions in which successive generations of black youths are conscientized about the ideals of the liberation struggle. In the book, author Mzi Mahola tells the stories in evocative, authentic, and thought-provoking narrative. Elsewhere he recounts the deep soul-searching exchanges among the black youth about the goals and efficacy of the Black Consciousness Movement in advancing cause of black liberation. His accounts are remarkably accurate, especially given the fifteen-year range over which the book is written. What is most refreshing about Dancing with Hyenas is the emic perspective it takes since most of the books on the topic are written by outside observers. This is a one-of-a-kind book- amust-read for any interested in learning from indigenous blacks how they were able to make meaning of the lives while confronted by vagaries and vicissitudes of that vicious system, which was finally brought down in the early 1990s. Mzamo P Mangaliso Professor, Isenberg School of Management University of Massachusetts - Amherst MA Dancing with Hyenas is a bout rites of passage of a young man hurled into maturity in a troubled land. Mzikayise Mahola conveys the story choosing words with the precision and dexterity of a poet, recalling events and painting them with the skill reserved for great story tellers. The book enthralls as it enables the reader to journey with Lizo through the labyrinth of dark paths in a perilous South Africa. We do not know how he will, survive the wrath of the system whose vultures always hover with devilish zeal and sickening patience. Lizo thrives in a world that betrays talented and ambitious youth. Mahola lucidly captures the snippets of history, sharing hopes and shattered dreams in the trapping of the old South Africa. Indeed, this book is a piece of history that exemplifies how many young people experienced the rough ride into brittle futures. Vuysile T. Msila Professor and Head, Institute for African Renaissance Studies, University of South Africa (UNISA) Dancing with Hyenas offers a riveting account of life under South Africa Aparthied. Lizo's autobiography evokes memories of "Coming of Age" stories by James Bladwin, Chinua Achebe and Frantz Fanon. Stori

Journey to Wakanda, Black Panther & Beyond ....
JOURNEY TO WAKANDA: THE LIFE and LEGACY of CHADWICK BOSEMAN Black Panther & Beyond details every aspect of Chadwick Boseman's life from his birth to his death. Before Chadwick Boseman gained worldwide notoriety and recognition for playing T'Challa, the King of the fictional African nation Wakanda, he was known around Hollywood for being the go-to man for a biopic. Boseman was best known for his portrayal of Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get on Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. The Howard University graduate became a growing household name, by successfully breaking into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be the first black actor to play a lead role in a superhero movie while being a source of inspiration for African American children and children worldwide. After years of acting in one biopic after another, Chadwick Boseman's role as Black Panther in the "Avengers" films and the 2018 eponymous blockbuster, Black Panther, the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time, established him as the rare breed of actor with star power. In the 2019 Golden Globe Awards, "Black Panther" ended up taking home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture as well as Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture. Chadwick Boseman became an international superstar after playing T'Challa in 2018's Black Panther, and he allowed so many young people to finally see themselves in a Marvel superhero movie. Not only did he film the strenuous movie while disabled, but Boseman also continued to show up to press events and interact with fans, despite the physical demands of his cancer diagnosis. Wakanda Forever isn't going to forget Chadwick Boseman any more than the rest of the MCU and the fans will. On August 29, 2020, the day after Boseman died, the tweet in which his family announced his death on his Twitter account became the most-liked tweet in history, with over six million likes in under 24 hours, and accumulating over seven million by August 31.

Thomas Jefferson's Battle for Science
A Kirkus Best Picture Book of the Year2025 Texas Topaz List Thomas Jefferson is one of the most famous founding fathers, but did you know that his mind was always on science? This STEM/STEAM picture book tells how Jefferson's scientific thinking and method battled against faulty facts and bias to prove that his new nation was just as good as any in the Old World. ★ Booklist, starred review★ The Horn Book, starred review★ Kirkus Reviews, starred review★ School Library Journal, starred review Young Thomas Jefferson loved to measure the natural world: plants and animals, mountains and streams, crops and weather. With a notepad in his pocket, he constantly examined, experimented, and explored. He dreamed of making great discoveries like the well-known scientific author, Count Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon. But when Buffon published an encyclopedia of the natural world, Jefferson was furious! According to the French count, America was cold and swampy, and filled with small and boring animals, nothing like the majestic creatures of the OId World. Jefferson knew Buffon had never even been to America. Where had Buffon gotten his information? Had he cherry-picked the facts to suit his arguments? Was he biased in favor of Europe? How could Jefferson prove Buffon wrong? By using scientific inquiry, of course! This first picture book to emphasize Jefferson's use of scientific methods is an accessible and entertaining approach to a lesser-known side of Jefferson.
EQUALITY Her Game
I was privileged to be able to interview Keith Boanas, ex-manager of the Estonia women's national football team, now president of Surrey Coaches Association UK, replacing the late Sir Bobby Robson. Me: Did Women's Football go so wrong? or are women partly to blame for the lack of equality? After all, women were never banned from playing, they were only stopped from playing on FA approved fields. Keith: Answer to this first point is contentious as it's a different era and we could be talking about multiple sports not just football. True women were not banned from playing and in fact did continue to play and they played for the reason most people and kids let alone women played the game, simply because they loved to play. My own wife who you know very well, was and still is one of the most passionate ever to play the game in England. She like so many paid to play and was happy too. Sacrificed a complete social life and that included weddings and family christenings to play. It's a clich矇 but imagine what salary she might command now and that is the only thing we wonder about, but if you ask her, she would not change anything. She loved her time playing the game the players she played alongside for club and country with tremendous pride. Was it ever about money? Absolutely not but did they deserve to at minimum at least get expenses if not more of course they did. Also, the players from those eras are the ones that broke the ground for the players who are reaping those benefits today and maybe deserve more recognition for that. But she is not bitter. Like any equality issues in any environment, culture or profession or sport, someone must kickstart the changes. That has happened now it's about the way forward and the speed in which it moves.
