Shaaban R.

Kusadikika: Nchi iliyo angani

To be believed

Dar es Salaam: Mkuki na Nyota Publishers , 1991. 67 p. Soft. ISBN 9789976973105.  In Swahili

First published at the height of colonial occupation, this is an allegorical work of an imaginary country or state in which injustices are perpetrated against all notions of justice, law and humanity. From the master of Swahili language and culture. Shaaban Robert is to the Swahili language what Shakespeare was to English. Acclaimed as the national poet, his publications have always been the touchstone of beauty of language, purity of spirit, and deep wisdom informed by African and Swahili culture in particular, but imbued with respect for and understanding of other cultures.
