Increasingly, the demands of identity direct the world`s politics. Nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, gender: these categories have overtaken broader, inclusive ideas of who we are. We have built walls rather than bridges. The result: increasing in anti-immigrant sentiment, rioting on college campuses, & the return of open white supremacy to our politics. In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American & global institutions were in a state of decay, as the state was captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism & authoritarian tendencies threatens to destabilise the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to `the people`, who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group & exclude large parts of the population as a whole. Identity is an urgent & necessary book: a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continual conflict. ...

African Identities are too often defined for us & not by us. The call for this anthology asked writers from the continent & the diaspora for ”innovativeshort fiction that explores identity, especially (but not limited to) the themesof gender identity & sexuality; that looks beyond the boundaries of expectation, into the truest definitions of ourselves.” This powerful collection is the result. It showcases the multiple ways in which African writers see themselves & theircommunities, & the depth, variety & innovation of their interpretations. From Benin to Ethiopia, from Morocco to South Africa, the stories here revealuncomfortable & fascinating truths about who we are. In a world of rising nationalism & factionalism, of increasingly crude & reductive notions of identity, these stories insist on the complexity, intimacy & interconnectedness of African identities. Prepare to be amazed, challenged & enchanted.SSDA is one of the most successful short story organizations on the continent with all of its previous anthologies receiving significant critical acclaim.SSDA celebrates the diversity of Africa`s voices & `tell you who we really are; what we love; love to eat, read, write about. We want to bring you the scents on our street corners, the gossip from our neighbours, let you listen to strains of the music we dance to.` Authentic African stories offering alternative short stories, stepping away from `the single story, a distorted, one-dimensional view of Africa that sees the continent only through a prism of war, disease, poverty, starvation & corruption.` Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, The Danger of the Single Story. ...
