Payback and Other Stories: An Anthology of African and African Diaspora Short Stories (1) (Vienna African Languages and Literatures) - Softcover
Synopsis
The short stories explore the complications faced by Africans in living the postcolonial experience, especially as it directly impacts the African world, its peoples, and their sometimes “complicated” lifestyles. The narratives capture not only the angst of seeking meaning in a world that challenges wholeness for African communities and individuals but, above all, look at ways of retrieval of cultural/ancestral knowledge in authenticating themselves.
