Jalada 06: Diaspora

Jalada 06: Diaspora, a collaboration between Jalada Africa and Digital Writers' Festival, is a meditation on confounding experiences of loss, scattering and (mis)recognition and a testament to the possibilities for collaboration and communication afforded to members of diaspora in the digital age. It features Jalada writers Anne Moraa, Mwas Mahugu, Richard Ali, and Marziya Mohammedali and African writers based in Australia Adut Wol, Ahmed Yussuf, Aline-Mwezi Niyonsenga, Inez Trambas, and Anisa Nandaula. Cover art by Guled Abdulwasi. The anthology was accompanied by a podcast that focuses on Diasporic Publication in the Digital Age with former Jalada Managing Editor Moses Kilolo and writers and editors Ahmed Yussuf and Saaro Umar. Digital Writers’ Festival (DWF) is an online writers’ festival dedicated to celebrating the work of writers from Australia and across the world, on this anthology.
