First published in 1964, ” Indaba, My Children” is an internationally acclaimed collection of African folk tales that chart the story of African tribal life since the time of the Phoenicians. It is these stories that have shaped Africa as we know it. Credo Mutwa was born in 1922 in Natal, the grandson of Ziko Shezi, a Bantu witch doctor who was the guardian of his tribe`s history. In 1963, Mutwa himself was officially proclaimed High Witch doctor but the following year he broke his sacred tribal oath of secrecy by writing Indaba, ” My Children”. The book was both a commercial & critical success (it has sold over 250, 000 copies in South Africa alone) & Credo Mutwa went on to write a number of other works as well as pursuing his talents as a painter & sculptor. He currently lives at the Shamwari Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape where he has founded a traditional healing centre. ...

The city is a place laced with the material & the immaterial, the visible & invisible. There are the migratory lines trod by our ancestors, the scent of our foodways, the flight of birds, the sigh of an old school, a demolished rooftop, an unassuming lamppost, fading tongues, empty chairs, extroverted harbours. These are the indelible marks that layer our city, that make up where we are, & who we are. Drawing together her memories growing up in Singapore & lyrical observations of the nation`s ever-changing landscape, Yi Wei creates an evocative portrait of the city & what it means to her. Beautifully rendered & delicately written, Indelible City brings you on an intimate sojourn with Yi Wei as she explores issues of home, identity & place. ” The city, under the magic of Yi Wei`s creative non-fiction, is a living thing tinged with loss, nostalgia & wonder.”
- Yong Shu Hoong, poet & editor of essays, Quarterly Literary Review Singapore ” Yi Wei`s debut guides with a gentle hand through a mnemonic city, her mnemonic city, signposted by fiction, fact & fancy.”

Gray argues that a truly independent Scotland will only ever exist when people in every home, school, croft, farm, workshop, factory, isl&, glen, town & city feel that they too are at the centre of the world. Independence asks whether widespread social welfare is more possible in small nations such as Norway & New Zealand than in big ones like Britain & the U.S.A. It describes the many differences between Scotland & Engl&. It examines the people who choose to live north of the border. It shows Scotland`s relevance to the rest of the world. It attempts to conjure a vision of how a Scots parliament might benefit the people of this small but dynamic nation. & it tells how democracy will only truly succeed when every person believes that their vote will make a difference. ...
