Meet Africa’s emerging writers and their stories that explore the powerful forces affecting the continent’s people and destiny.
Captive features stories by 11 emerging writers from Africa and the diaspora. The stories explore “identities that connect us, the obsessions that bewitch us, and the self-delusions that tear us apart.” Passion and apathy, creation and destruction, honesty and deception—the blurred lines between these powerful forces are fundamental to the human condition. Two Kenyan writers, Kabubu Mutua and Salma Yusuf, feature in this anthology.
