Africa Risen

A New Era of Speculative Fiction

By: Sheree Renee Thomas, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Zelda Knight

Narrated by: Amin El Gamal, Kim Staunton, Dele Ogundiran, Tony Tambi, Tamika Katon-Donegal, Jamie Lincoln Smith

From an award-winning team of editors comes an anthology of thirty-two original stories showcasing the breadth of fantasy and science fiction from Africa and the African Diaspora.

A group of cabinet ministers queries a supercomputer containing the minds of the country’s ancestors. A child robot on a dying planet uncovers signs of fragile new life. A descendant of a rain goddess inherits her grandmother’s ability to change her appearance—and perhaps the world.

Created in the legacy of the seminal, award-winning anthology series Dark Matter, Africa Risen celebrates the vibrancy, diversity, and reach of African and AfroDiasporic science fiction and fantasy and reaffirms that Africa is not rising—it’s already here.

Love these stories!!!

Gave only 4 stars for the performance bc one of the narrators is intensely monotonous in tone. Listening to this person was tiresome.

Overall

Very Professional Done. Great Narration and Enunciating. Stories are Extremely Original.. Not boring or repetitive.

Amazing and creative stories!

I really enjoyed this book full of anthologies. A Soul Of Small Places made me cry and wish there was more to hear! All in all....this was a great book!
