In the traditions of Behind the Beautiful Forevers, this is a masterful, humane work of literary journalism by New Yorker personnel article writer Alexis Okeowo - a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent's influx of fundamentalism. In A Moonless, Starless Sky Okeowo weaves collectively four narratives that form a robust tapestry of modern Africa: a young couple, kidnap victims of Joseph Kony's LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonesome marketing campaign against modern-day slavery; a women's baseball team flourishing amid war-torn Somalia; and a vigilante who occupies arms from 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 amazing - lives that are all too often hidden, underreported, or overlooked by the rest of the world.
