Jane Bryce

I was born in Tanzania in 1951 and brought up there until my parents were deported in 1968. I’ve spent the rest of my life writing and teaching about Africa, first as a freelance journalist and editor in the UK and Nigeria, then for twenty-four years as lecturer/Professor of African Literature and Cinema at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill. I also taught creative writing, edited a literary journal and published short stories and literary and cultural criticism. I’m the editor of Caribbean Dispatches: Beyond the Tourist Dream (Macmillan UK: 2006) and author of Chameleon and other stories (Peepal Tree Press, 2007). I’m working on a Young Adult novel, How To Find Your Way in the Air.
