Chimurenga Chronic Out Now!

chimurenga_chronic_front_page The Chimurenga Chronic is a one-day-only edition of a fictional weekly newspaper backdated to the first week of the xenophobic violence that rocked South Africa from May 11-18 2008.

Part art object, part critical commentary on the unsaid in everyday discourse, The Chimurenga Chronic reinvents the newspaper bringing together some of our continent’s leading writers, photographers and artists, to create a beautiful and thoroughly absorbing limited edition collector's item accessorised for your coffee table.

The project is a collaboration between Cassava Republic Press, the hyper-hip Kenyan-based magazine Kwani?, and the avant-garde South African journal Chimurenga.

Copies are available for N5,000 in Nigeria (£20/$35 excl. postage to anywhere else). Contact info@cassavarepublic.biz and place your order now.
