Transition 96: Finding Nimco

This new issue of the award-winning journal on black and multicultural studies spotlights the first published excerpt from Tambu’s Choice, Tsitsi Dangarembga's first novel since her 1989 Commonwealth Prize-winning Nervous Conditions. There's also an interview with the reclusive author. Other features in this long-awaited issue include Caine Prize-winner Binyavanga Wainaina on "How to Be an African," and a compelling gallery of photographs taken during the filming of Hannah Rose Shell's documentary on the Haitian secondhand clothing industry, Textile Skin.
