The first section of this anthology contains stories about growing up in Africa; the second focuses on young Americans living on that continent; the third concerns African immigrants in the United States. Most pieces explore moments of conflict and connection between diverse cultures. This thought-provoking collection of short fiction and three poems provides an illuminating look at contemporary Africa and its young people.
