This collection can be seen as a fugitive practice in which a group of seven people came together and told stories in order to put into words what they referred to as “Afro-geographies in European enclaves”. It is a storytelling exercise that serves to illuminate their African peoplehood against a backdrop of cities that did not want them and in countries that did not love them back. These are stories of the migrant, the diasporic, the displaced and their carved-out places, spoken aloud to makes sense of their own spatiality and shake the Eurocentric epistemic grounds on which they have been forced to stand. The book is edited, curated, and annotated by Menna Agha and Ola Hassanain.
