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 leading is actually you've been studying health literature and in fact we have again or some of the books here what has surprised you most or it's something that not just something i grew up with something no grew up with my father's a researcher and it's actually the researcher so of course the interest was natural for me about this book and something i've been reading right so i think maybe this a presenter for me is not in the book actually is a do world it doesn't know much about it it's here you can take it public or really there's a hole in source in london contin and does books but a lot of people don't read words i think does the most surprise when there were talk about how so much literature in the house of people oh they exist of course it has been existing talk to us about some of the authors and all the writers and some of the explored in the books or it's it's been a long history of how the ratings from the bent into disrepair so with the does the

romans the right in which has been the most popular at and currently it's started in the late ninety's it is of to the ninety's with a bomb of the economy literature mostly the 3 most you can see is romance so it's called the romance novels in the directors don't want that title to be used in most of the world's. most dramatic occupational forces the romans but it brings up what oddest sections of the society order to medical bills around especially what i'm interested in is the defense minister of the view of this woman they don't know. doona didn't i didn't miss 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 because there's been a lot of book one incident in the past years because the books don't conform to the norms of the society something speaking about conforming to the normal society something that that you are here to tell us is that these folks cover what you call the queer 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 with the families of the on what i phone maybe a dozen of us of present and is some of the books of talking about the culture in london 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 the society so because we didn't know what to do it also shows an a but can get into those lessons they should do a decent men that identified themselves as women and it's a kind of things that explode this is say to tries to show it from that distance and i hope in it so what i was interested open was to look at these books and see which of these books explode and what was their actions of course there was a little but into a little thought i can imagine books we have to to learn 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. it looks conservative but this is the literature it was a mirror of to say to so it's not something that he did something that's happening maybe we don't want to talk about and we don't want to relate with did we prefer the distance of the o.t. 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 by the more of it we're bringing it out in the open but just bring it out in the open and we need to talk about it minister infrared wright 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 bowler outbreak soldiers are training in yoga to put
