Fresh and electrifying—stories, poems, and essays by African and diaspora writers, edited by author Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond.

Relations punctures the human illusion of separation. New and established storytellers reshape the narratives that divide and subjugate, revealing the truth of our shared humanity despite differences in language, identity, class, gender, and beyond. This vital anthology is Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond’s striking vision of a meeting place of perspectives, centered in the African and diaspora experience.

In a post-Black Panther world, it is an urgent and welcome embrace of the diversity of Blackness. A refreshing collection of genre-spanning literature, it offers a vibrant meditation on being—inviting connection across real and imagined borders, and celebration of the most profound relations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Appetizer of Black Diasporic Writing
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023
Relations is an anthology of poetry and literature of the African diaspora, and Brew-Hammond has done an excellent job as editor in compiling these wonderful writings. This collections has breadth and depth in tone, style, and form, which makes it such an entertaining delight that has something for every reader. My only complaint (which is not really one) would be that some of the literature excerpts would draw you in as a reader and then end in a way that left you wanting to know the rest of the story, which definitely resulted in me swearing a few times in frustration while also appreciating the Brew-Hammond's cleverness to entice the reader to seek out more of the work from these authors. Even though I was able to enjoy this advance digital copy, I have plans to purchase the physical book since I would be honored to have it amongst my book collection.

As a person who grew up as a guest on the continent & an educator on African diaspora studies, I’ve been dreaming of an anthology like this one to teach & learn from for a long while.

It is a thoughtfully curated gathering of essays, poetry & tales that amplify the voices of African diaspora writers. It reads like a love letter to the peoples of the continent, invoking nuances, remembrances & lessons often overlooked in dominant culture storytelling.
I am enamored by the artistry & innovations in these pages.
Highly recommend.
