Letters To Africans

Letters to Africans is a life buoy that Leon Tuam sends to African people. Readers will discover that many poems remind blame Africans to have not done enough to get out of the deep mud they have been living in for centuries. African people are aware of this situation, but they have not decided yet to stand radically and to get out of it. Nobody will carry out this task for them. It is their responsibility. Already they understand, but they need determination. They are paralyzed with fear still. In this collection readers also discover that despite many hesitations, the days of the forces that prevent African people and the other peoples from being free, strong and prospering are indeed numbered. The African veins have remained open for a long time. The hemorrhage has lasted long. It is time to stop it. Letters to Africans is full of sorrow and hope, blows and caresses, roars and murmurs, emotions and coolness, cowardice and bravery
