Remnants of a Haunted Past: Forts and Castles of Ghana (Photo Book, Hardcover)
Yaw Pare is a celebrated Ghanaian photographer. This ground-breaking book richly illustrates the history and legacies of Ghana’s forts and castles through photography.

In this book, the photographer’s camera captures a reality that many choose to remember but just as many choose to forget. Ultimately, Remnants of a Haunted Past: Forts and Castles of Ghana constitutes an attempt to document the past so that it is never forgotten in the present.

Kwame Nkrumah and the Dawn of the Cold War: The West African National Secretariat, 1945-48
The history of a Pan-Africanist movement based in Britain and its role in the Cold War in Africa
The West African National Secretariat (WANS) has almost been forgotten by history. A pan-Africanist movement founded in 1945 by Kwame Nkrumah and colleagues in London and France, WANS campaigned for independence and unity. Nkrumah returned to the Gold Coast in late 1947. The colonial government accused him of being a communist and fomenting the riots of early 1948. He was jailed. This led to the beginning of the Cold War in West Africa.
Drawing on archival research including the newly released MI5 files, Marika Sherwood reports on the work of WANS, on the plans for a unity conference in October 1948 in Lagos, and on Nkrumah’s return home. Sherwood demonstrates that colonial powers colluded with each other and the US in order to control the burgeoning struggles for independence. By labelling African nationalists as ‘communists’ in their efforts to contain decolonisation, the Western powers introduced the Cold War to the continent.
Providing a rich exploration of a neglected history, this book sheds light for the first time on a crucial historical moment in the history of West Africa and the developmental trajectory of West African independence.

Love Is Power, or Something Like That: Stories
When it comes to love, things are not always what they seem. In contemporary Lagos, a young boy may pose as a woman online, and a maid may be suspected of sleeping with her employer and yet still become a young wife’s confidante. Men and women can be objects of fantasy, the subject of beery soliloquies. They can be trophies or status symbols. Or they can be overwhelming in their need.In the wide-ranging stories in Love Is Power, or Something Like That, A. Igoni Barrett roams the streets with people from all stations of life. A man with acute halitosis navigates the chaos of the Lagos bus system. A minor policeman, full of the authority and corruption of his uniform, beats his wife. A family’s fortunes fall from love and wealth to infidelity and poverty as poor choices unfurl over three generations. With humor and tenderness, Barrett introduces us to an utterly modern Nigeria, where desire is a means to an end, and love is a power as real as money.₵85.00 -
Diamonds, Gold and War: The Making of South Africa
Southern Africa was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies, Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little interest to the outside world. But then prospectors chanced upon the world’s richest deposits of diamonds and gold, setting off a titanic struggle between the British and the Boers for control of the land. The result was the costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating war that Britain had waged in nearly a century, and the devastation of the Boer republics.
The New Yorker calls this magisterial account of those years “[an] astute history…Meredith expertly shows how the exigencies of the diamond (and then gold) rush laid the foundation for apartheid.”

Guardians Of Africa: Legends Reborn Volume 2 – Echoes of the Sahara
Zion and Imani Nkamba—Africa’s young Guardians known as Ayikwei, the Earthshaper, and Nayara, Protector of Light—find themselves drawn into the vast and unforgiving Sahara Desert. Armed with ancient relics and their growing powers, they must confront Sirocco, a ruthless villain wielding a machine that drains the region’s lifeblood of water, threatening to turn entire nations into wastelands.
Guided by the legendary Tuareg nomads, the siblings face blistering heat, mirages, and the whispers of the desert itself. Along the way, they encounter weary migrants from across West Africa, whose struggles mirror the realities of climate change, flooding, and poverty at home. United by shared hope, the Guardians learn that Africa’s wounds run deep—but healing is possible.
When Sirocco unleashes an army of sand demons and his machine rises in terrifying power, Zion and Imani must combine courage, creativity, and their unshakable bond to stop him. The final battle shakes the desert itself, testing their resilience and leaving echoes that stretch beyond the Sahara.
Echoes in the Sahara blends fast-paced action, African history, and modern challenges with humor and heart, continuing the saga of Africa’s first modern superheroes. It is a story of unity, resilience, and the power of young Africans to protect their continent’s future.

In the heart of bustling Accra, where market drums beat and festivals roar, two ordinary siblings are about to awaken powers beyond their wildest dreams!
Zion Nkamba, a tech-savvy teen with a passion for drones, and his artistic, eco-warrior sister Imani stumble upon ancient relics hidden beneath the streets of Makola Market and their family’s ancestral home.

But their greatest test lies ahead! When an evil pirate named Sakatona unleashes a monstrous machine to drain the life from the oceans, the young Guardians must unleash every ounce of their newfound might—summoning ancient sea creatures, dodging missiles on sand-forged flying bikes, and leading an epic sea battle that will decide the fate of Africa itself.
Packed with explosive action, African heritage, and humor, this is a heart-racing adventure about courage, unity, and discovering the hero within.
