South Africa/South USA -- This anthology will be a compilation of
contemporary
writing reporting the struggles, victories and dual past and destiny of
blacks in
South Africa and blacks in the South USA. We will look at the
correlation between
the contemporary lives of black South African post apartheid and blacks
living in
the American South post Jim Crow.

Through their work, writers from South Africa and southern USA will
engage in a
discussion about the Historical and contemporary lives of people whose
struggles
have defeated Jim Crow and apartheid (SA + USA). The work will
include reflection
on the interior life of those peoples during the past struggles; the
current
conditions post apartheid and their aspirations for a new future.
Theses works will
include poetry, essays and short fiction. We are looking for a broad
range of
writing and views.

We are interested in a contemporary look at the similarities in the
lives of South
Africa - post-apartheid and South USA - post slavery�health,
education,
education, arts, politics, leadership, AIDS, etc.
