Just got a copy of part 1 of the twin issue of Kwani 05. It is dedicated to the 2007/8 Kenya post election violence. One would have expected a scary, patronising content but this isn't so. It tells it as it is through pictures, poems, prose and interviews with the truly affected.
I have read Chepkong'a, David Kaiza and one Ugandan guy whose name I can't seem to get right.
David Kaiza, a Ugandan writer based in Kenya, writes on the Luo as a people. He writes of his journey to Kenya to learn more of his 'distant' cousins and their honesty and trust. Very illuminating.
Let me get back to read it further before I can say more.
