Africa has always blamed external colonisation for its Catch-22s such as violent ethnic conflicts for the struggle for resource control, perpetual exploitation, poverty, and general underdevelopment all tacked to its past, which is a fact, logical, and the right to pour out vials of ire based perpetual victimhood it has clung to, and maintained, and lost a golden chance of addressing another type of colonialism, specifically internal colonisation presided over by black traitors or black betrayers or blats or blabes. Basically, internalised internal colonisation is but a mimesis of Africa's nemesis, namely external colonisation as another major side of the jigsaw-cum-story all those supposed to either clinically address or take it on, have, by far, never done so for their perpetual peril. In addressing internal colonisation, this corpus explores and interrogates the narratives and nuances of the terms it uses. The untold story of Africa is about internal colonisation that has alluded to many for many years up until now simply because it made Africans wrongly believe that it is only external colonisation their big and only enemy.Nkwazi.

Mauro Institute of Peace and Justices, St. Paul College, University of Manitoba, specialised in African studies, African history, decolonisation, deconstruction theories and terrorism.

Even though Zimbabwe's ghetto musicians have been vocal in articulating the ghetto struggles through Zimdancehall music, Ghetto literature in the 21st century in Zimbabwe is an area that has scarcely got strong attention from Zimbabwean poets and writers writing now. Yes, we have tackled ghetto subjectivities and difficulties through tackling Zimbabwe's political situation, which I still do in this collection, but I also went further and tackled ghetto as "place literature", developing voices for the masses in ghettos, especially in Zimbabwe's biggest ghetto city, Chitungwiza. The ghetto is a place that changes you in ways that only blues music can manage to encapsulate and like Blues music this collection is both bitter and sweet. A few poems in Ghetto Blues give insight into what shaped the poet, in poems about his birthplace in the east of Zimbabwe, on love, on religion, on race, on migration and xenophobia in South Africa.

This project comes from our need to harness voices in Africa and the Latin America, giving these voices an opportunity to converse, argue, synthesize, agree, and share ideas on the craft of writing, on life, on being, on thinking, so that we will all benefit. Sixty-two writers and poets are included, of which 19 were purely fiction writers, six were mixed genres writers, one a non-fiction writer, one a playwright, and 35 are poets. Altogether there are 92 pieces in two languages: English and Spanish. Starcy Hardy, in the first entry in the anthology, deals with a war situation in an unnamed African country. Afopefoluwa Ojo deals with the personal haunted worlds of the writers, artists or art enthusiasts who dealt with the demons (supposed) in her own unique way. Ayo Oyeku deals with adultery, Ikechukwu Nwaogu deals with abuse and AIDS, Honduran Ludwig Varela describes a Latin America numbed by violence and crime where the family man lives on the border between the legal and the survival instinct, in an asphalt jungle where only the strongest survive. Soira Celestino from Brazil takes us back to the magical world of fairies and the dead in a romantic fable. In the conference of Hocquetot Gustavo Campos makes us witnesses of comic responses from a slightly eccentric writer; the poetry of Argentine Claudio Archubi invites us to dream with its dramatic and somber images at once. Este proyecto surge de la necesidad de tratar de aprovechar las voces de África y América Latina, dando eco a la oportunidad de conversar, discutir, sintetizar, estar de acuerdo, diferir y compartir ideas, puede ser dentro del terreno de la escritura, la vida, el ser, el pensamiento, de modo que todos nos beneficiemos. 62 escritores, de los cuales 19 eran puramente escritores de ficción, 6 escritores de géneros mixtos, 1 escritor de no ficción, 1 dramaturgo, 35 poetas, en total reunimos 92 piezas en dos idiomas: inglés y español. Starcy Hardy en el primer texto de la antología nos describe una situación de guerra en un país africano sin nombre. Afopefoluwa Ojo se ocupa del mundo embrujado de los escritores, artistas o aficionados al arte que se enfrentan a los demonios (supuestamente) en su particular estilo. Ayo Oyeku habla sobre adulterio, Ikechukwu Nwaogu se ocupa de los abusos y el SIDA, de Honduras Ludwing Varela nos describe una Latinoamérica adormecida por la violencia y la delincuencia donde el hombre de familia vive entre la frontera de lo legal y el instinto de supervivencia, como una jungla asfáltica donde solo los más fuertes sobreviven. Soira Celestino desde Brasil nos remonta al mágico mundo de las hadas y los muertos en una fábula romántica. En la conferencia de Hocquetot Gustavo Campos nos hace testigos de las cómicas respuestas de un escritor un poco excéntrico, la poesía del Argentino Claudio Archubi nos invita a ensoñar con sus imágenes dramáticas y sombrías a la vez.Tendai Rinos Mwanaka is a publisher, editor, mentor, thinker, literary artist, visual artist and musical artist with over 40 books published.Rodríguez Ricardo Félix was born 1975 in Caborca, Sonora, Mexico.

Clashes between vendors and authorities have become a common feature of Zimbabwe society. Though vending brings some undesirable effects such as chaotic and disorderly business practices it is noted that vending has a particular role to play in times of high unemployment.

This book offers practical solutions and way in which vending can be organised, systematic and much to the economic benefit of society. With cases examined from all over the word, entrepreneurs, the policy maker, the civic society and students will find this book useful. Its contribution adds much value towards formulating sustainable methods in transforming Zimbabwe's economy and society .
