PUBLISHER'S NOTE At Cassava Republic, we pride ourselves on being an African publishing house in the fullest sense of the term, with a passion for stories beyond the boundaries of the continent, and which capture the fullness of the African experience, from Benin to Bahia.

In a year of staying at home and limitations of travel, it is through books that we turn to for escape, and which allows us to traverse the African world. is season nds us going truly global with our publications this year, spotlighting voices from across the African diaspora, as well as publishing our rst title by a North-African writer.

In keeping with our ethos, we have partnered with the Edinburgh Book Festival to publish Outriders Africa: Essays on Exploration and Return, which saw 10 writers set out on journeys across the continent, from e Gambia and Ghana in the West to Nairobi and Ethiopia in the East, and including stops to the islands of Comoros and Madagascar.

Together they rewrite the travelogue genre, moving away from its colonial routes to bring fresh stories of travel and discovery through an African gaze.

We turn that African gaze to the clothing of the continent in our latest picture book by writer and illustrator, Smile with African Style! is showcase of African fashion highlights the colourful and vibrant national dresses of countries across Africa.

We cross not only global but also literary borders with our rst foray into poetry, with the womanist anthology, Wild Imperfections, a bold reinstatement of our communal values of humanity. With contributions from Southern Africa, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Kenya, Somalia, Brazil, Jamaica, the UK, USA, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and beyond, the poems in this anthology are memoirs of our body, our dreams and the untold pains, beauty and strength of women across space and time.

Finally, we are delighted to continue this season of rsts with our rst translated adult ction title, Men Don't Cry, which captures the varied experiences of an Algerian family in France with warmth and wit. It is titles like this that remind us of the power of books to act as cultural guides into the many layers of human life. We are hopeful that, even as things begin to open up again and we move towards a post-pandemic world, whatever that may look like, readers will still recall the power of books to transport us far beyond the four walls of our homes.

Accra Noir Edited by Nana-Ama Danquah “ere's good writing as well as a strong sense of place and culture, and the reader will absorb a side of Accra that doesn't make it into the tourist brochures.” —New York Journal of Books

A

ccra is the perfect setting for noir ction. e telling of such tales—ones involving or suggesting death, with a protagonist who is awed or devious, driven by either a self-serving motive or one of the seven deadly sins—is woven into the fabric of the city's everyday life . . .

Accra is more than just a capital city. It is a microcosm of Ghana. It is a virtual map of the nation's soul, a complex geographical display of its indigenous presence, the colonial imposition, declarations of freedom, followed by coups d'état, decades of dictatorship, and then, nally, a steady march forward into a promising future . . .

Much like Accra, these stories are not always what they seem. e contributors who penned them know too well how to spin a story into a web . . . It is an honour and a pleasure to share them and all they reveal about Accra, a city of allegories, one of the most dynamic and diverse places in the world.

ormation tracks the unlikely series of events and characters that led to the creation of the modern Nigerian nation: from 1804 when the rst Jihadists began their attack on a collection of independent nations to 1914 when the current shape of Nigeria was completed as a British colony through amalgamation. Formation sheds light on an increasingly forgotten and largely mythologised period of Nigeria's history; revealing an incredibly complicated portrait of a nation with a tangled history, where violence was and remains a primary organising principle for elite competition and political negotiations. In uential gures loom large over the narrative including: Usman dan Fodio, Modibbo Adama, Fred Lugard, Samuel Ajayi-Crowther, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Flora Shaw, Joseph Chamberlain alongside other well-known and many less familiar names. “…so powerfully evocative it is both a work of scholarship and storytelling…”
