Synopsis "When the Sun turns Red: Women's Tears from a Land in Despair (in English)"
When the Sun Turns Red is a cry from the heart of women residing in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon who have borne the physical and psychological pains of war. The poems in this volume express the women's pain, their fortitude, hope, and call to an end of the armed conflict. The collection not only expresses women's positionality as victims, but also as advocates of peace. In the once beloved land of perpetual sunlight, women cry out as the sun turns red. With over 50 poems authored by more than 30 poets, seasoned and emerging, young and old, the volume is a testimony of collective pain that captures the violence of this moment in their history.Sally Maforchi Mboumien is women, peace and security advocate, concerned citizen, teacher and feminist from Bawock, Cameroon. Lilian Lem Atanga is an Associate Professor of Gender and Discourse Studies, formerly of the Department of African Studies of the University of Dschang, the University of Bamenda, and Fulbright Scholar at the University of Florida, USA.
