African Pride is a bold and heartfelt collection of poetry by Realise Mwase, beautifully complemented by Brendon Muchabaiwa’s artwork. This anthology dives deep into the soul of Africa, celebrating its history, culture, and the resilience of its people.
 
Through 41 powerful poems, Mwase explores everything from love and loss to identity, survival, and post-colonial struggles—all told through a raw, unapologetic voice that refuses to be silenced. Each piece, whether it’s the rhythmic pulse of Train, the chaos of Canticle of Chaos, or the modern reflection of Screen, Boy, carries the weight of a generation grappling with its place in the world.
 
Jim Vincent’s foreword highlights Mwase’s ability to transform the English language into something undeniably African—blending rhythm, emotion, and storytelling into poetry that demands to be read aloud. Muchabaiwa’s illustrations add another layer, creating a visual and literary experience that leaves a lasting impression.
 
If you’re looking for poetry that speaks truth, strength, and beauty, African Pride delivers. It’s not just a book—it’s a movement, a celebration, and a testament to the voices that refuse to fade.
