Neue Töchter Afrikas at the Macondo Literary Festival in Nairobi

The Macondo Literary Festival is a festival on African histories and futures featured in fictional and non-fictional works, bringing together, for the first time on the continent, authors from Arab, English, French and Portuguese writing language zones of Africa in conversations across perceived limitations. This years motto is Disrupting Home.

We, stimmen afrikas, are delighted to be part of this years festival edition with an event with novelist Yvvette Edwards, whose shortstory Security (Sicherheit auf Deutsch) is part of our Anthology Neue Töchter Afrikas. 

200 women writers of African descent are featured in this extraordinary anthology, published three decades after the pioneering Daughters of Africa. A conversation between Brisish-Montserratian novelist Yvvette Edwards and Kenyan Caine Prize winner Makena Onjerika whose short stories appear in the collection.

In collaboration with stimmen afrikas.

Host: Natasha Kimani
