Michael Imossan moves into historical spaces such as museums and sites of enslavement, touching artifacts that hold meaning, and asking, Where was Africa? Where is Africa now? And what has changed? The Biafran War that claimed three million lives, though declared over, still has its lingering effect on Nigeria and Nigerians. Congo, though free of King Leopold and the exploitation of cotton, is still not free of other kinds of exploitation, nor is Uganda. Though the slave trade has ended, African bodies are still found in the Sahara Desert and in the Atlantic Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll that Refuses to Die\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection that brims with stories and memories that evoke as well as provoke. As he moves through historical places, the poet compares the past with the present and finds that nothing has really changed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397696897260,"sku":"9781496246097","price":49.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1f51f28cdcdb89f9531f9c8271559dcb.jpg?v=1773721119"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-african-poetry-book.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
