Bananas in the Rafters: An African Classic
By MSE. Dzirasa

About this ebook
Bananas in the rafters, focuses on families, leaders, children and average citizens, living within a community that operates within a grander culture of tribes, separated traditionally by religion, and culturally by dialects yet strongly united by nationality as one people. Its captivating text educates the young reader about a world out there, where the author once thrived as a child, as it uniquely weaves an enlightening variety of subject matters, from the yarns of family values, education and individual life experiences while sparingly dipping them into rigid realistic dyes of colonization, independence, revolutions, and an aspiring fight for national stability, before spinning them on looms that strengthen the stitching of history, education, and development together, in order to produce the best sociocultural fabric fit for the prospective wholesome blooming of the growing child. It is, indeed, the ultimate book tailored for this progressive era of cultural awareness and ethnic embrace. For within its pages, the readers imagination, as well as eyes, are open into the original workings of the African culture, in a far more practical way, than has ever been made literarily tasteful and readily accessible, to any African-authored young adult reader.
