ciggies people she was expelled from her ancestry lands at 96 years old she still vividly recalls the trauma of that experience. i don't remember the deal. but the hour we were chased him i was 4 in the afternoon . i was so frightened my stomach started aching and i started vomiting. lydia's parents were forcibly removed to so-called national reserves making way for acres and acres of profitable 2 connotations today they are owned by multinational companies. stayed behind to work on one of the british states that she was repeatedly raped by her employer who got her pregnant. when the white man as she calls him a tech took for the 1st time she was only 13 years old and. there

the africa pleasure is so excited to have you here so i actually want to talk about the fact that for the last few months or maybe years actually you've been studying house literature and in fact we have again or some of the books here what has surprised you most. it's something that not just something i grew up with something or grew up with my father as a researcher and it's actually the researcher so of course the interest was natural for me about this book and something of the reader so i think maybe this a presenter for me is not in the book actually is a dollar doesn't know much about it it's here you can pick it up really there's a hole in source in london contained in these books but a lot of people than words i think does the most surprise when there were talk about how so much literature in the house of people. don't exist of course that it has been existing so talk to us about some of the authors and or the writers and some of the themes that they explored in the books or it's it's been a long history of house or write ins from the vent into disrepair so with does the

romans the right in which has been the most popular at and currently it's that in the late ninety's it is after the ninety's with the bomb of the economy the literature mostly the 3 most you can see is romance so it's called the romance novels even though directors don't want that title to be used in most of dogs the most dramatic occupation of course is the romans but it brings about oddest sections of the society or the timothy go around especially what i'm interested in is the feministic out view of these women they don't know. doona didn't identify as feminist because most of this writing is about the writer to empower the woman and that's why does it say to you know them and you sometimes try to shun try to bundy's books there's been a lot of book one incident in the past years because the books don't conform to the number of the society sometimes speaking about conforming to the normal society something that that you are here to tell us is that these books cover what you call that culture so to say. you say that that's something that's in these novels that go back as far as the 1930 s. elaborate on that for me specifically and the romance novels which i've been

studies always trying to write about how so women writers or the families of the on what i phone maybe a dozen of us a present in is some of the books actually we're talking about the culture in northern and you know which is something that has been happening we've had a lot of what we called the. men who dress as female which we know in doesn't say do so because we didn't know what to do it also shows a lot but they can't get into it there's less of a solution but do a dismay in that and defend themselves as a kind of things that explode which the society tries to show it from that distance and happily so what i was interested in was to look at these books and see which of these books explored distance and what was their actions of course there was a little but in the early 2000 i can imagine you're somebody who have been to tehran which surprise surprise increase the readership of the book because people are interested to hear what's happening was in this book so that i mean you're obviously now bringing this to light yet again and i just wondered how that's being

received because you come from a part of the world that's massively conservative how do people react when you say to them actually this has been happening i think conservative is conservative in that way because learning from the other the it looks conservative but this is as i say literature as well as a mirror of this is a to so it's not something those who did something that's happened and maybe you don't want to talk about them we don't want to relate with it we prefer the distance of the it which is it's happening but let's not bring it out in the open for me even that there. but you know we know it's happening but don't you think just printing more of it by bringing it out in the open but just bringing it out in the. talk about a minute i should write said. thank you pleasure. in sierra leone soldiers have found a novel way to tackle post-traumatic stress disorder in a country still shaped by a traumatic civil war and the outbreak soldiers are training in yoga to put the past behind them creates problems for your. people why do you do.

yoga mats fit young people in sports kit and a charismatic instructor but this is no ordinary yoga class these are sierra leonean soldiers and they're confronting a dark past. i still get i'm still traumatized but i am now able to control it because of how you're going to transform me the moment a new person sierra leonean society bears deep scars civil war raged in the 1990 s. and 2000 rebel groups recruited young children as fighters in 2014 a bowler struck cells and lost their lives or their loved ones the mental wounds linger on. using yoga to manage depression and trauma is the brainchild of army sergeant felix and move. by
