Immigrant Voices In Short Stories

The anthology Immigrant Voices in Short Stories brings its own distinctive perspective to our recent overwhelming global experience of the COVID-19 virus-induced pandemic. Looking beyond the ravages of the virus as a health issue, and its specificity to African immigrants, the Anthology delves deeper to probe other hidden, but no less devastating pandemics in our lives. Pulling no punches, even if softened by some humorous landings, each story asks us, as individuals and/or communities, to look inward for the pandemic-causing viruses lurking in our lives and to take immediate steps to get rid of them. "This anthology of Immigrant Voices in Short Stories from Africa and the African Diaspora is a treasure trove of ideas not just for the entertainment of the general readership but also a fountain of knowledge resource for researchers and policy makers from global Africa. It is a must-read for students of migration, medical education, and cultural studies, among others – John Ayotunde Isola Bewaji, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Distinguished Researcher, PJ Patterson, Institute for African Caribbean Advocacy, the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica.
