Issue 07

What do we really talk about when we talk about book piracy, especially in relation to African readers? You’ll find one answer in the seventh issue of Efiko Magazine in an essay published weeks before this full issue was ready. You’ll also find a noir story, featuring a striking female character, set in the northern reaches of the continent. As always, we have probing poetry from a trio of Nigerian poets.

In one non-fiction piece, a son about to be joined in matrimony writes to his late father. And if you have wondered how Nigerians who move to Canada deal with the protocol of a new country, one contributor has some of his own answers. Keep reading and you’ll come across an insightful dissection of a recent book on African concerns by a British anti-colonialist. There’s also fresh fiction from two South African writers. 

You’ll find that even as our contributors and their concerns are scattered around the world, each piece in Efiko 7 carries a unique whiff of our continent.
