This Is Africa: Call for Writers from North Africa

This is Africa (TIA) www.thisisafrica.me is a forum for Africans, by Africans, to reclaim our identity, our heritage and our continent’s rightful political, economic and cultural position in the globalised world and in the global consciousness. Do you feel strongly about: • the African identity in our globalised world • Africa’s engagement with the rest of the world (politically, economically, culturally) • contemporary urban African life and culture • a news event relating to Africa and/or the way said news event is being covered by the international media • any other field of interest relating to contemporary Africa and Africans at home or in the diaspora Or do you have original ideas you’d like to share? Well-written contributions will be published on This Is Africa website, and topical contributions stand a better chance of being published. • Please note that we are interested in well-considered opinion pieces and commentary, not letters. • Keep it under 900 words. • Include your full name, URL (if you have a blog of your own) and one or two sentences about yourself.
