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. EM* 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.
The German translated edition is also available under the title Im Mundexil.
