In a town where decency is law and fear wears a smile, one man's charm becomes the world's undoing.

When Jim Crow, a well-dressed stranger with polished shoes and a preacher's tongue, steps off a train from nowhere, the townsfolk see a savior. He brings rules - clean, polite, and pure - promising to make the land "safe again." But soon, his laws begin to whisper through schools, churches, and dinner tables. Love is restricted. Laughter is regulated. Freedom is politely removed from the room.

Through the eyes of Celeste Brown, a quiet seamstress whose pen becomes her only weapon, we witness how tyranny often arrives in the language of order - and how one voice, even when trembling, can set fire to silence itself.

Set in a world hauntingly similar to both Jim Crow America and colonial Africa, Jim Crow is a darkly comic, emotionally charged novel that unmasks the hypocrisy of moral superiority, racial division, and social control.

IF I AM PRESIDENT by PaaKwasiMfoamfo

They say a child who falls and rises again has strength the ground can never understand. I didn't know if I was rising or just pretending not to fall, but one thing was clear... the winds had changed. The first Monday after New Year's came in like a cock's crow before dawn: "The holiday is over. Tie your shoes of seriousness." They also say the first 100 days of power reveal a leader's worth. For me, it wasn't in Parliament but in a dusty classroom, where your biggest manifesto was spelling your name right and answering without shame. Where applause came not from citizens but a teacher saying, "Good, Bekoe. Very good." Yet my stammer was a curse, heavy as stone. My words came in broken waves. "Ma...Ma...Madam, pl-please...I f-forgot my b-book." I was mocked, pitied. And pity is worse than punishment. It silenced me. One Harmattan morning, as Mom stirred groundnut soup, she sighed to her friend: "Ghana ayɛ den paa... nipa bɛyɛ biribiara de apɛ sika... even pastors are no longer safe. Politicians? They eat and leave us to suffer." Then a radio cut in. 6th March. A grainy voice rose: "Ghana, our beloved country is free forever..." The words struck me. I whispered them again. And again. My mother turned, laughing, "Eei, woayɛ Kwame Nkrumah anaa?" "Who is that?" I asked. "Our first President," she said softly. From then, those words became my seed. They were the only words I could say without stumbling. I said them to my pillow, my wall, even the goats. One evening, I whispered nervously, "M-m-m-maa...I...I want to b-be...President one day." She froze, then sighed: "Bekoe, don't joke with your life. Your stammer alone... who will vote for you? Be a soldier or policeman. You have the body." It wasn't malice, it was love. That's what hurt most. Because when your mother doubts your dream, it begins to feel like a hallucination. Still, I held on. Maybe courage. Maybe a cure. Maybe the day my voice would finally rise without fear.

77 parts Complete Mature

She's lying peacefully on my chest, holding on to my new leather jacket while I walk us up the campus steps and into the staff closet. Relax, I only have the keys because I'm friends with one of the department cleaners. I'm not much of a socialite so I spend my lunch breaks in here rather then the canteen like regular students. I lay her down on the only cushioned sofa that could fit into this tiny room. With my parents being social workers, home is far too crowded with people in need of help that I prefer sleeping in this place sometimes. There aren't any windows so she should feel safe. I close us in and wait until she gains conscious. Her eyes blink as I look into them, she mumbles a few words and after what seems like years, she speaks "where am I? What is this?" I say nothing but stare, I can't help it. She seems to recall what took place a few minutes ago when she decides to speak, "thank you and I'm sorry for taking your money". #Mustread #SA #Africanwriters Author: Asanda Khathi Happy reading!???
