"From anabolitionist who once owned a slave to women basketball players in a war zone,Alexis Okeowo has an alert and thoughtful eye for the unexpected. The portraitsand voices she brings us from Africa are so vivid that the reader can easilyforget the determination and bravery it must have taken to gather them in theseunhappy corners of the continent."-- Adam Hochschild, New York Times -bestselling author of King Leopold's Ghost and Spain in Our Hearts

Synopsis
WINNER OF THE 2018 PEN OPEN BOOK AWARD "A rich and urgently necessary book" ( New York Times Book Review) , A Moonless, Starless Sky is a masterful, humane work of journalism by Alexis Okeowo--a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent's wave of fundamentalism. In A Moonless, Starless Sky Okeowo 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.
