In a poignant, palpable and provocative way, the author pierces the sacred \"logic of the system\" and with his rhyme and lyrics, lays bare a range of themes: corruption, exploitation and dependency in Africa; surviving under dictatorship and oppression; post-colonialism and decolonisation; the beauty of Africa; love, heartbreak and hopelessness; and struggle, both internal and external. Using a range of powerful poetry techniques, the author refuses to surrender and instead promotes heresy against a heartless, soulless system of exploitation, unashamedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will be introduced to critical counter orthodoxy ways of knowing and being; and new ways of perceiving and understanding their constructions of reality if they are able to find the treasures buried in this collection of poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Global Hands Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889521410199,"sku":"9780995646025","price":1276.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780995646025.webp?v=1781176766","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-dictator-and-the-heretic-9780995646025","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
