Description
<p>We conclude our conversation with renowned Ugandan author, Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi in which she reflects on migrant narratives in her collection of short stories, <em>Manchester Happened</em> (published in the USA as <em>Let’s Tell This Story Properly</em>), we explore the ways in which <em>Sweet Mother</em> by Nico Mbaga contribute to conversations on the treatment of indigenous Ugandan feminism in relation to western feminism in the novel, <em>The First Woman</em> (published in the USA as <em>A Girl Is A Body of Water)</em>, and we also draw explicit parallels between Chinua Achebe’s <em>Things Fall Apart</em> and Makumbi’s <em>Kintu</em>.</p><br><p>Listen to Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s curated playlist on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2WNXCdDYpfrvqOUuMZImzg?si=DFw4k7sLQsKeMQmA0hlSAQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, and <a href="https://deezer.page.link/xgGRF2PCCG2FrYMQ9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Deezer.</a></p><p> </p><p>Follow @booksandrhymes on <a href="http://twitter.com/booksandrhymes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/booksandrhymes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to stay informed on the latest news on classic and contemporary books by writers of African descent.
