New Daughters of Africa

Nearly three decades after her pioneering anthology, 'Daughters of Africa', Margaret Busby curates an extraordinary collection of contemporary writing by 200 women writers of African descent.A glorious portrayal of the richness and range of African women's voices, this major international book brings together their achievements across a wealth of genres. From Antigua to Zimbabwe and Angola to the USA, overlooked artists of the past join key figures, popular contemporaries and emerging writers in paying tribute to the heritage that unites them, the strong links that endure from generation to generation, and their common obstacles around issues of race, gender and class.
