Praise
“The anthology sings with gorgeous visual imagery [and] rings with cries for freedom… Mention must also be made of the brightness of the translations; how their precision highlights and uplifts the poet’s vision… The choice to display translations side by side with the original work subverts the expectations of the English-speaking reader, who is so often unused to seeing other languages displayed equally alongside English. This is a truly international book. A stunning collaborative work, which is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Africa, art, politics, or humans.” – Zozi, Cadaverine Magazine (for Imagine Africa: Volume Two)
“The Imagine Africa books are brilliant compilations of essays, poems, short stories, and photography.” – Brooks Goddard, Boston University
“Muholi’s work is politically potent, capable of communicating on multiple frequencies simultaneously, confronting the audience’s preconceived notions of gender binaries, class, sexuality and race.” – Jenna Wortham, The New York Times Magazine
