"African Heroes and Heroines" stands as a mesmerizing masterpiece delving into the often overlooked narratives of extraordinary individuals who wielded significant influence in sculpting the socio-political tapestry of 20th-century Africa. Dr. Djéréké masterfully intertwines a narrative that traverses the diverse political terrains of the African continent, exalting the resilience, valor, and indomitable spirit of African men and women. Key Features: Unrivaled depth of exploration: This book offers an exhaustive comprehension of the contributions to African political history by meticulously dissecting the lives of various lesser-known historical figures. Multifaceted perspectives: By transcending geographical confines, the author presents a kaleidoscope of narratives from the Western, Central, Southern, and Eastern regions of Africa. Rich socio-political context: Each narrative finds itself meticulously embedded within its cultural and political backdrop, enabling readers to discern the intricate sociological nuances that molded these extraordinary individuals. Accessible prose: The book's engaging and accessible writing style renders it suitable for a broad audience, ranging from scholars and students to enthusiasts of African socio-political history. Recommendations: Esteemed scholar Dr. M.M. Ngum Chumbow extols the book as an invaluable addition to the literary domain, deeming it indispensable for Africa enthusiasts and a vital resource for African history courses or reading circles. "Rediscovering familiar names and unearthing new heroes and heroines, Jean-Claude Djéréké deftly unveils historical icons while seamlessly interweaving their personal narratives, fostering a profound connection with each individual." "I fervently advocate for the perusal of Jean-Claude's book, which sheds luminous insight on the lesser-known heroism of towering figures such as Joseph Tchundjang Pouémi, Barthélémy Boganda, Victor Biaka, and numerous others. These exceptional individuals, though often relegated to the margins of textbooks, sacrificed their lives for the noble cause of justice and freedom in Africa. In a spellbinding manner, the author resurrects them from the ashes of obscurity, thereby providing a precious opportunity to unearth and revere their extraordinary contributions. Henriette Martine Mbette, MA, aptly underscores the importance of bequeathing their names and legacies to posterity, accentuating how they epitomize the fundamental principles to which Africa aspires. This book serves as a wellspring of profound inspiration for Africans' relentless pursuit and enduring struggle for a future adorned with justice and freedom." About the author, Dr. Jean-Claude Djéréké Dr. Jean-Claude Djéréké, a preeminent authority in African socio-political history, showcases not only his profound erudition but also his unwavering passion for the subject. He affirms, "I firmly believe that by comprehending the tales of our heroes and heroines, we cultivate a deeper reverence for the fortitude and resilience exhibited by the African people throughout the annals of history."

‘In South Africa, the struggle for freedom was won largely through non-violent means – 95% of the struggle was non-violent. The non-violent foundations laid in the preceding years are, I believe, what made our peaceful transition to democracy possible in 1994.’ Rommel Roberts’ words express his conviction which was underlying all his efforts as an activist opposing the apartheid regime in South Africa. In his book ‘Seeds of Peace’ Rommel Roberts wants to focus on ordinary people who with their courage and commitment have achieved a change in South African conditions but have never been recognised and acknowledged. In all his stories of brave women and men and in all forms of protest and human rights activities in which Rommel Roberts played a key role this incredible spirit of non-violence was prevalent and finally successful.
