In the spirit of James Currey, with his work bringing African writers and their stories to the world, the James Currey Anthology showcases a broad range of literary work, with contributors hailing from Botswana to Nigeria, Ghana to South Africa - writing from the continent or in the diaspora. These writers transport us into their world today, or in the past, some feeling the effects of love clashing with prejudice; or devastating portrayal of a lived experience witnessing the terror of tribalism. Reflections on parenting and ageing; intensity and torment of relationships and toxic social environments; the magical, the speculative. Along with grief and rage, and defying the gods!
