Outriders Africa: Essays on Exploration and Return

Various Authors

If you’re looking to get a lot of perspectives on a continent but are only willing to spring for a single book, look no further. In spring 2020, 10 writers split off into pairs and, in the midst of a pandemic, set off on journeys in Africa. They generated essays as well as travel diaries, letters and poetry. All the participants have African heritage, resulting in a journey of discovery as well as coming to terms with their subject’s often-harsh history. Oct. 4, $16.95
