Chubot

Christopher Okemwas Chubot, the Cursed & Other Stories is a collection that captures societys realities as played by characters rendered in these stories.

A recurring theme is the role of women in society and their longing for equity, their triumph often depicted by heroines catapulted by circumstances rather than deliberate action of society to engineer their success. Womens humility is felt through the stories, even in the face of courage to confront taboos and traditions with society contributing little towards their success. Indeed, womens triumphs are captured as happening where men fall short.

Many of these stories raise the question of why society lacks a systematic approach to womens empowerment.

Chubot, the Cursed One, and Other Stories was selected in the UN SDG Book Club Africa Chapter as a Club title in the Social Development Goal (SDG) number 5 - Gender Equality
