Africa Inside Out is an anthology of stories, tales, and
testimonies that challenges the daily global newscast of an Africa
of dictatorships, starvation, and disease. Writers from both within
and outside the continent were invited by the 'Time of the Writer
Festival' (an annual festival held in Durban, South Africa) to
respond to an Africa of the now: an Africa inescapably part of
contemporary world culture. In seeking to portray an Africa that
goes against the stereotype, these writers pushed boldly against
literary expectation. Responses range from quirky interpretations
of oral tradition, to explorations of digital possibility, to
experiential testimony and humorous renditions of old - and new -
conundrums. Africa Inside Out - as its title suggests - does not
present the politicized version of Africa. It portrays an Africa in
flux, still grappling with familiar problems, but caught up in the
global drive towards reinvention and the possibilities of an
unpredictable, yet interconnected, future.
