WINNER OF THE 2018 PEN OPEN BOOK AWARD\"A rich and urgently necessary book\"(New York Times Book Review),A Moonless, Starless Skyis a masterful, humane work of journalism by Alexis Okeowo-a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent's wave of fundamentalism. InA Moonless, Starless SkyOkeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of modern Africa: a young couple, kidnap victims of Joseph Kony's LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonely campaign against modern-day slavery; a women's basketball team flourishing amid war-torn Somalia; and a vigilante who takes up arms against the extremist group Boko Haram. This debut book by one of America's most acclaimed young journalists illuminates the inner lives of ordinary people doing the extraordinary-lives that are too often hidden, underreported, or ignored by the rest of the world. | A Moonless Starless Sky by Alexis Okeowo, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
