Go Tell IT ON THE MOUNTAINS: The King of POP is DEAD!!

YES THE KING/CHILD OF POP MUSIC IS DEAD- A legend was born, a legend lived, a legend has died!!!! Now we can weave myths for our unborn children. We will gather them in the twilight and whisper the story to them..."once upon a time there lived a boy...he was born Michael..Michael Jackson

 

So I cry and weep for this son of a mother who has gone before his time but I have a story to tell and where there is a story, lives are born!!! May Michael Jackson be reborn a thousand times as we pass his name down for generations to come...

Joyce Ashuntantang: Foreign Publishers Determine the Nature of our Stories (Interview)

Interviewed by Dibussi Tande and originally published at www.dibussi.com (Scribbles from the Den) and http://www.langaa-rpcig.net/+As-long-as-foreign-publishers+.html

“As long as foreign publishers remain the mid-wives of our stories, they will keep determining the nature of these stories.” Joyce Ashuntantang

Early this year, Joyce Ashuntantang published a book titled Landscaping Postcoloniality: The Dissemination of Anglophone Cameroon Literature which Bernth Lindfors describes as the "most comprehensive study of Anglophone Cameroon literature that has been published to date".

In this interview, Dr. Ashuntantang discusses her ground-breaking book and the state of Anglophone Cameroon literature with Dibussi Tande. Excerpts:
