Books like When bullets begin to flower by Margaret Dickinson


The resilient will-power of the freedom fighters in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau, their devotion and determination, their courage in the face of tremendous odds and, above all, their quintessential love for their Land of Africa and her hopes shine out from this inspiring collection. These are some of the most moving resistance poems ever written. They make sad reading, but at the same time they leave one in no doubt whatsoever that the cause of freedom, for which so many lives have been sacrificed, will soon triumph over even the most relentless forms of colonialism.
