No Turning Back relives the tumultuous beginnings of Africa's
democratization experiment in the early 1990s. The main theme of
the collection is an investment in hope and in the resilience of
Africans. The poems are loud and clear in their castigation of
dictatorship and its miseries. They celebrate the mass resolve and
thirst for democracy by Africans for whom there is 'No turning back
' 'A lucid and truly memorable collection of poems. Dibussi forces
us to turn back and look at the pivotal volcanic moments in
Cameroon's history between 1990- 1993... As a student activist and
budding journalist during this historic period, Dibussi captures
cadences of this struggle eloquently.' Joyce Ashuntantang, Ph.D.,
Department of English, University of Connecticut, Greater Hartford,
USA. 'This collection is an important document chronicling, through
verse, the events of an era in a given space with unmitigated
passion.' Kangsen Wakai, poet, Houston, Texas, USA '. a subtle yet
unapologetic critique of Cameroon's chequered history of predatory
governance. The poems provide succor to a people besieged first by
the unrealised dreams of a political (mis)marriage and then a false
promissory note on which their democratic development is written.'
