Inhaltsangabe
A devastating critique of global inequities and prejudices exposed by Covid-19, and a vivid first-hand account of Africa’s pandemic.
In this new collection, Nanjala Nyabola takes stock of a world in crisis. Her incisive yet moving prose unpacks the injustices shaping Covid’s starkly different outcomes between countries and communities, and reveals rich societies’ shockingly inaccurate view of how her home continent has fared. From the hidden truth of fast action, mutual aid and transnational cooperation in poorer countries to the widespread falsehoods of Western commentary, Nyabola exposes a global society scarred by colonial legacies, lazy narratives and ingrained biases.
These essays are an inventory of the staggering political and social failures of our time, and the myths exposed in Covid’s wake. Watching coronavirus spread in Kenya and around the world, Nyabola reflects on a long history of onlookers denying the Global South’s agency and successes in times of emergency. Armed with her insider-outsider perspective, she reveals harsh truths about our broken system, and calls powerfully for a sincerely shared post-pandemic world―one where voices like hers can help to write a real global history.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 'We had hoped that we lived in a world that would rally in the face of a common threat. Instead, we found that the collective good is abandoned for the economic and political benefit of a handful of people, and nationalist myths of exceptionalism rob billions of their right to survive.'In this new collection, Nanjala Nyabola takes stock of the state of the world in a moment of crisis, reflecting on both the historical and the novel injustices that have shaped Covid's starkly different outcomes between and within countries and communities. From vaccine distribution and mutual aid in the Global South to Western commentary on pandemics in Africa, Nyabola exposes a global society scarred by colonial legacies, nationalist competition and ingrained biases. These essays are an inventory of the staggering political and social failures of our time, and the myths that can no longer survive in the pandemic's wake. Watching Covid spread in Kenya and around the world, and offering an international critique of Global North narratives about the South's experience, Nyabola's incisive writing reveals harsh truths about where and how the system was broken, and considers the future of our shared post-pandemic world. A devastating critique of global inequities and prejudices exposed by Covid-19, and a vivid first-hand account of Africa's pandemic.
