Banned. Hunted. Exiled. Still unbroken.
In Exiled for My Mouth ( Im Mundexil), award-winning Ugandan poet, scholar, and activist Stella Nyanzi delivers a bold and blistering literary offering forged in the fires of exile. Written after fleeing state persecution for her fearless activism and uncompromising speech, this collection is both a poetic resistance manifesto and a raw diary of displacement.
With her signature blend of wit, rage, and unapologetic truth-telling, Nyanzi confronts authoritarianism, patriarchy, political betrayal, and the emotional toll of forced migration. Each piece is laced with biting satire, feminist fire, and the ache of longing?for justice, for home, for freedom of expression.
From detention to diaspora, Nyanzi's pen remains uncensored. These pages vibrate with the voice of a woman who refuses to be silenced?even in exile. Exiled For My Mouth (Im Mundexil) is not just a book?it's a battleground of words, a cry of defiance, and a testament to the power of speaking truth to power, no matter the cost.
