The man in the room : an anthology of short stories

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The thesis The Man in the Room is an anthology of short stories that explore themes of race, xenophobia, class and religious conflict, all within the context of immigrant life in the United States, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Kenya. The book was written as a commentary on what life is like for African migrants living in the diaspora. This is a work of fiction. The people, events, circumstances and institutions depicted are fictitious and the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance of any character to any actual person, whether living or dead, is purely coincidental. Please note an excerpt of The Beauty of the Nigerians has been published in the literary journal, Type/Cast.
