Asmara is the capital of Eritrea - a surreally Italian city at the centre of an ex-Italian colony that has been at war with its neighbour Ethiopia (who claim sovereignty over Eritrea) for over ten years. Amidst broken palaces (built by the late Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie), nomadic desert encampments and war-torn towns, Hill found a god-fearing people remarkably resistant to everything fate has thrown at them. This book is a tribute to their resilience and will stand beside Philip Gouravitch's Rwandan book, WE WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT TOMORROW YOU WILL BE KILLED WITH YOUR FAMILIES, as a classic account of contemporary Africa.

A Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Justin Hill's Shieldwall . . . superbly evoked the wordplay of the period's poetry as it unfolds a compelling story of Earl Godwin's battles against the Norse'The year is 1016 and England burns while the Viking armies blockade the great city of London. King Ethelred lies dying and the England he knew dies with him; the warring kingdoms of Mercia, Wessex and Northymbria tremble on the brink of great change. One man lives to bear witness to the upheaval: Godwin, barely out of boyhood and destined to become one of his country's great warriors.When Ethelred's son Edmund takes the throne, determined to succeed where his father failed, he plucks Godwin from domestic peace to be right-hand man in his loyal shield wall. Godwin must traverse the meadows, wintry forests and fogbound marshes of Saxon England, raising armies of monks, ploughmen and shepherds against the Viking invader. With epic courage and ferocity, Godwin and Edmund repel the butchering Danes in three great battles. But an old enemy, the treacherous Earl Eadric, dogs Godwin's footsteps, and as the final battle approaches, around the valiant English the trap begins to close.

Experts from the field of indigenous education offer vital perspectives and resources for transforming the future for Native studentsAcross Lands and Waters is the first book to offer a vision for the future of Indigenous education in the United States—a rich tapestry of ideas, frameworks, and dreams for teachers and educators grappling with how to educate and inspire the nation’s native students. The result of a unique, years-long collaboration among the leading experts and practitioners in the field. Across Lands and Waters was developed as an urgent resource for classrooms and other educational settings in every state and tribal nation.Offering a deep well of stories and perspectives from different Indigenous traditions, the contributors examine why we educate, what the role of schools can be in overcoming racist and colonial legacies, and how to envision a radically different future. They also discuss such crucial topics as how a colonial system of education erases Indigenous realities, the vital importance of reclaiming indigenous languages, the varied experiences of indigenous peoples, and the crucial contributions of traditional ways of being and knowing.Graced with original full-color cover artwork by the celebrated artist Maria Hupfield and contributions by Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Natalie Diaz, Across Lands and Waters is a groundbreaking project that will serve as a beacon of inspiration and hope for teachers everywhere.
