Beschreibung

A woman whocarries her fate and that of her community in her hair is beguiled by the deceptivedesigns of Europeans out to colonise her most prized possession. A man findshappiness in the reincarnation of a lost love. A young woman risks her life forfreedom through the cultural practice of a human loan scheme. Tales ofsacrifice, love, freedom, self-discovery and loss fill the pages of thislarger-than-life tapestry of stories from across Africa and its diaspora. Forged in a diversity of tempers and forms, these stories range from theepistolary to the experimental, from mysteries, noirs and political thrillersto speculative fiction and futurism, and much more. In prose that moves fromvisual and lyrical to gritty and visceral, these writers explore fate, memory,the fragility of love and the duplicitous nature of human interactions Storiesby: Doreen Baingana,Meron Hadero, Rémy Ngamije TroyOnyango, Iryn Tushabe Joshua Chizoma Nana-Ama Danquah, Hannah Giorgis , Idza Luhumyo Billie McTernan, Elizabeth Johnson, Audrey Obuobisa-Darko,Sally Sadie Singhateh, Victor Forna, Onengiye Nwachukwu, Kofi Konadu Berko,Akua Serwaa Amankwah, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, Andrew Aidoo, Rafeeat Aliyu andTJ Benson.
