100 African Writers of SFF Part Two Africans in the UK

Part Two of the series interviewed 11 writers including long interviews with Jennifer Makumbi and Nikhil Singh along with considerations of their work. The article noted a relationship in the rise of American SFF between the experience of diaspora and the writing of fantasy and science fiction. Could a similar dynamic be at work in writers of the African diaspora? This 37,000-word article was the result of work done while waiting for the Leverhulme International Academic Fellowship to begin based at the University of Cape Town. The article appeared while I was abroad. Hosting of the series will be taken over by the online magazine Strange Horizons in 2017. http://www.tor.com/2016/11/01/100-african-writers-of-sff-part-two-writers-in-the-u-k/
