Book Description
The poems in this book look into every corner of life, concentrating on The Sudan's Wars. Some look at calamities such as the Asian Tsunami, terrorist bombings. Each of the twelve parts of the book has poems discussing similar things. The title "The Winking Faces of the Sudan" is derived from the poem 'Winkers of Sudan' on page 33" This is because I first wrote poems about the wars in Sudan. The tragedy sparked by repeated winkings done by the oppressors (The Predatory Winkers) when plotting against their preys - the oppressed (The Prey Winkers). Fortunately and unfortunately predatory winking are opposed by the preys in form of rebellions in South, East, and West in Darfur. Besides, "Winkers of The Sudan" envisions future filled with joy where the preys can rejoice far from the intimidating eyes of the predators when South has drifted out of one evil Sudan. I hope this book will influence the war afflicted Sudanese to record (in one way or the other) their experiences. Azaria Gillo Tibi I was born in December 1963 at Adravo Village, Eastern Equatoria Province in Southern Sudan. In 1994 I graduated from University of Juba, College of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies with a Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Geology. Until 2001, the time I fled Sudan, I had been teaching English language in the Catholic Sisters' School in Khartoum for Basic and Secondary levels. I am now a refugee in USA. I began writing poems for www.poetry.com from Egypt. "The Over - ripened Friendship" is my first poem to be accepted for publishing by the International Library of Poetry, which in conjunction with www.poetry.com in March 2005 awarded me "Editor's Choice Award" for my poem "An Asian Tsunami Imposed Dirge." This was followed by the poem "The Ugandan Coffee" Before Muya nya Itto introduced me to poetry; I was only in love with Short Stories and Jokes writing.

Book Description
Religious conversion is often associated with ideals of religious sincerity. But in a society in which religious belonging is entangled with ethnonational citizenship and confers political privilege, a convert might well have multilayered motives. Over the last two decades, mass non-Jewish immigration to Israel, especially from the former Soviet Union, has sparked heated debates over the Jewish state’s conversion policy and intensified suspicion of converts’ sincerity. When the State Winks carefully traces the performance of state-endorsed Orthodox conversion to highlight the collaborative labor that goes into the making of the Israeli state and its Jewish citizens. In a rich ethnographic narrative based on fieldwork in conversion schools, rabbinic courts, and ritual bathhouses, Michal Kravel-Tovi follows conversion candidates—mostly secular young women from a former Soviet background—and state conversion agents, mostly religious Zionists caught between the contradictory demands of their nationalist and religious commitments. She complicates the popular perception that conversion is a “wink-wink” relationship in which both sides agree to treat the converts’ pretenses of observance as real. Instead, she demonstrates how their interdependent performances blur any clear boundary between sincere and empty conversions. Alongside detailed ethnography, When the State Winks develops new ways to think about the complex connection between religious conversion and the nation-state. Kravel-Tovi emphasizes how state power and morality is managed through “winking”—the subtle exchanges and performances that animate everyday institutional encounters between state and citizen. In a country marked by tension between official religiosity and a predominantly secular Jewish population, winking permits the state to save its Jewish face.

Sudans Angels is a compilation of many topics. It reflects how I see subjects and situations spiritually and organically. It is a book fiercely passionate about human beings, and our struggle as a people in this universe. I am a story-teller poet. So in this book you will read stories, monologues, poetry and essays. I enjoy the journey of writing poetry takes me on. I coddle it then give it its blessing for it to stand on its own. I have meticulously selected material that hopefully meets the Readers expectations.

Book Description
Amir Ahmad Nasr is a young Muslim man with something explosive in his hands: a computer connected to the Internet. And it has the power to help ignite a revolution and blow apart the structures of ignorance and politicized indoctrination that too often still imprison the Muslim mind. Part memoir, part passionate call for liberty, reason and doing work that matters, My Isl@m tells the tale of how the internet opened the eyes and heart of a once fearful young Muslim to a world beyond the dogmatism of his upbringing, and recounts his transformation into a defiant digital activist. In his honest, provocative, and courageous debut, Nasr–a popular Afro-Arab Sudanese blogger–steps out from behind the curtain of anonymity and emerges as a voice of a new generation of tech-savvy liberal Muslims. Set in war-ravaged Sudan, oil-rich Qatar, multi-cultural Malaysia, the United States, Turkey and the new frontiers of cyberspace, My Isl@m is a fascinating prelude to the Arab Spring and a disarming and uplifting tale of doubt, soul-searching, Islam, and finding freedom in the Middle East and the rest of the Muslim world. A poignant, honest, and uplifting memoir of how blogging and the internet opened the eyes and heart of one young Muslim man to a world beyond his religious fundamentalist upbringing.

Book Description
The second book in the epic Ballantyne series Zouga was left alone, as alone in spirit as he had ever been in any of his wanderings across the vast African continent. He had spent almost the last penny he owned on these few square feet of yellow earth at the bottom of this hot and dusty pit. He had no men to help him work it, no experience, no capital.' A tribal battle. An Empire's war. Zouga Ballantyne has in his blood a fanatic's need to find diamonds, one that will take him to Southern Africa's most punishing places. Losing his wife to one of the many sicknesses that haunt the diamond mine camp, Zouga and his sons must find another way through the country, helping to build the British Empire, and developing their own form of civilisation in the face of tribal opposition. But the Ballantyne family success comes at a price -the sacrifice of the local Matabele tribe, who have tried to live alongside the colonists, but are slowly losing everything. In the face of exploitation, violence and greed, who will triumph in the land of ruthless men?

Book Description
Exploring narratives produced by different groups of MENA and SSA migrants or refugees, this book focuses on the spatial and temporal aspects of their experiences. In doing so, the authors examine a wide range of accounts of journeys to host countries and memories (or recreations) of “home”. The spaces that migrants occupy (or not) in their new country; the spaces and times they share with local populations; and different conceptions of space and time across generations are also investigated, as are how feelings surrounding space and time are manifested within these different narratives and their affective-discursive practices. Taking both a traditional, linear view of migration as well as a multilinear, multimodal approach, the book presents an in-depth investigation into the ways in which people inhabit multiple real and digital spaces.
