Dreams, Miracles and Jazz - New Adventures in African Fiction

Dreams, Miracles and Jazz is an anthology of new writing in English from writers born in Africa or of African parentage. This anthology features writing from emerging voices such as Caine Prize winners, Binya vanga Wainaina, Segun Afolabi and Brian Chikwava; writers who have since secured book deals, like Sefi Atta, and others, such as Biram Mboob and Mamle Kabu, whose works have won awards and are found regularly in national and international anthologies. The anthology is thematically diverse, covering almost all of the major contemporary African issues such as AIDS, migration (both within and outside the continent), land issues and identity. Dreams, Miracles and Jazz celebrates the art of storytelling, and will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates good fiction and wonderful writing.
