We know what Bob Geldof and Tony Blair think about Africa - as the continent that most needs salvation. But what do the people of Africa feel, in their diverse cultures and classes and nations? In this special issue of Granta Africa is explored, mainly by Africans, in exciting new fiction and reportage, by new, unfamiliar names, as well as established figures including:
Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Segun Afolabi, Mohammed Naseehu Ali, Emmanuel Dongala, Nuruddin Farah, Helon Habila, Tahar Ben Jelloun, John Ryle, Ahdaf Soueif and Ivan Vladislavic
Plus nonfiction by Daniel Bergner, and Binyavanga Wainaina on how Bob Geldof's aid-concerts look to those watching in Africa.
