The Parachute Drop by Norbert Zongo
“The Parachute Drop is both a story of the ugliness of postcolonial misrule and also the beauty of resistance. The ugliness, embodied in a neocolonial dictatorship, leads to the authors end; but the resistance lives after him to continue the challenge and affirm the resilience of the human spirit. In this novel, with its clear and readable English translation, Zongos spirit rises from the dead to tell the oppressor: I will never stop to fight for a more humane Africa.”
