Klappentext

"The stories in Wind, Sand, Sky are short, but rich with meaning. Set on the East African archipelago of Zanzibar, these intimate portraits invite the reader to accompany characters navigating personal challenges within a rapidly changing terrain linked to socio-economic development, tourism, and even climate change. The book will be of interest to students of Swahili and East Africa, and more broadly those seeking to understand the cultural tensions and transformations associated with globalization.

"Wind, Sand, Sky by Marc Eichen is an incredibly thoughtful, unique and special bilingual English- Swahili work of art that both English and Swahili audiences will not only find thrilling, but also superbly depicting some segments of the Swahili-speaking society and cross-cultural engaging - a bonus for Kiswahili students as a sample source that intrinsically integrates the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages five goal areas (5 Cs): Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities.
