Inherited Danger

Inherited Danger is a compelling collection of eight stories about resilient women, troubled artists, and Africans confronting power, violence, ambition, loss, and survival. Set across Kenya, Uganda, and the wider African cultural landscape, from Nairobi’s dangerous slums and Uganda’s guerrilla-controlled forests to the worlds of politics, business, folklore, Congolese music, and Kenyan benga, these stories explore the extraordinary choices ordinary people make when confronted by danger, betrayal, poverty, trauma, and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
