WIND, SAND, SKY: Three Stories

A collection of three short stories by Marc Eichen 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 climate change. Praised by Caitlyn Bolton (Boston College) for its value to students of Swahili and East Africa, and by Charles Bwenge (University of Florida) as an incredibly thoughtful bilingual English-Swahili work of art that both English and Swahili audiences will find thrilling. Bwenge highlights the book’s value for Kiswahili students as a sample source that integrates the five goal areas of the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. Companion volume to the Kiswahili translation Upepo, Mchanga, Anga: Hadithi Tatu at Row 313.
