Guns in Every
House explores the agony, pain and effects of
the AIDS pandemic on children orphaned by the
scourge and brings a fresh perspective to the
conversation. Julie’s vivid account of her and
her sibling’s arduous journey through life after
the death of their parents presents an angle
never before on the most devastating holocaust
of our time. It delights us with its brilliance
and its compassion, and gives us a fantastic
slice of life in some villages in Nigeria. It
also reminds us of the different ways in which
we can interpret and interrogate the plight of
orphans.
African Culture,
Identity and Aesthetics: The Igbo Example is a
trailblazing tale of the enduring culture and worldview
of African/ Igbo people. It also fulfills the need in
Africana Studies for greater understanding of African
culture as the foundation of African centered thought
and practice. The book provides an essential framework
to the serious revaluation of the intellectual
philosophy/construct of Africana Studies on the basis of
African knowledge systems.
Married to a Stranger is
an epic story of deceit and falsehood beneath malignant
pretense. Ugo believed that Ephrem was sincere until the
events at his funeral proved otherwise. The book is a
valuable lesson and a tough warning for everyone to respect
Africa's age old saying that the monkey can only vouch for
the child in her womb because she may not know when the one
on her back plucked a fruit.
Dr. Ugwueze was a special guest at California State
University Fullerton on Tuesday March 20, 2012.
She spoke to students and faculty

of Racism class. She also spoke at

that same day.
