Ken Saro-Wiwa was a Nigerian writer and environmental activist. A Month and A Day & Letters includes an edited version of ‘A Detention Diary’ – Saro-Wiwa’s own record of his arrest in July 1993, and the story of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and the struggle against the multinational Shell and the Nigerian military dictatorship. Saro-Wiwa’s criticisms and questioning of a corrupt regime eventually led to his execution with eight others on 10 November 1995.
This new edition has a Foreword by the Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka. It also includes a letter by Ken Wiwa to his late father 10 years on, and previously unpublished letters smuggled to and from Ken during his final imprisonment. Among these are letters from world leaders, writers and friends including Nelson Mandela, Nadine Gordimer, Ethel Kennedy, Anita Roddick and ordinary people from all over the world.
