Dear
friends, colleagues and compatriots,

I
wanted to let you know personally that my new book, ‪#‎WeAreAllBiafrans:
A Participant Observer's
Intervention in a Country
Sleepwalking to Disaster published by Parrésia
Publishers Ltd will
be out (online) on May 29, 2016, and is now available for
pre-order.

You
can pre-order for Kindle here: http://goo.gl/wud0G6


You can pre-order
paperback here: http://goo.gl/yxNR1c  

 
For those in Nigeria, Parrésia
Publishers Ltd and the African Centre for Media &
Information Literacy in
partnership with Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Foundation is
organizing a public
presentation of the book:

Date:
Tuesday, May 31,
2016


Venue:
Yar'Adua
Centre, One Memorial Drive, Central Business District,
Abuja

Time:
10:00AM prompt

We Are All Biafrans
focuses on the crisis of nationhood in Nigeria. It argues that many, if not all, of the problems
of Nigeria are rooted in the structure of the country. It
takes on Nigeria's
indolent and reactionary ruling elite – civilian and
military – and their
allies, as well as bandits in uniform, scoundrels posing as
statesmen, and
conservative ideologues, religious bigots and ethnic
chauvinists posing as
patriots.

It raises
fundamental questions: What is Nigeria and who is a
Nigerian? If Nigeria is a
federal republic, what constitutes or should constitute the
federating units?
It concludes that forging a nation out
of the disparate and often
antagonistic entities in the country is perhaps the greatest
challenge
confronting Nigeria. 

I hope you will
enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it! I
hope too that
it will trigger the debate that will eventually nudge
Nigerians towards
kick-starting the process of a genuine re-invention of our
country. 

Let
the conversation begin: ‪#‎WeAreAllBiafrans


Kind
regards,

Chido
Onumah
