 | Reflections in a Shattered Glass: All at sea in Cape Coast http://www.african-writing.com/hol/manuherbstein.htm | Reflections in a Shattered Glass: the British Council’s Celebrations of the Bicentenary of the 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade in Ghana in Slavery & Abolition Vol.30:2 pp.197-207. An earlier version was published by African Writing. Republished by The New Legon Observer, Accra, Ghana, December 2009.

 | "Building Bridges" in Civil Lines 6 Harper Collins India | Civil Lines went to bed in 2001 and rose nearly a decade later in an unrecognizable world. Rip VanWinkle slept twice as long but woke up less disoriented: time moves faster in googleworld than it did in the Catskills in the late eighteenth century. The best explanation for the elephantine gestation of Civil Lines 6 is the truth, in the words of the editors themselves: unsure of their editorial judgement, they waited for the submissions to pass the test of time. And this is a collection of the pieces that survived. |
 | The Car Doctors of Maamobi African Cities Reader on-line full text | Meet The car doctors of Maamobi, a photo-essay, in The African Cities Reader, Vol. II, published jointly by Chimurenga Magazine and the African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town, 2011. Maamobi (A01) and the adjacent Accra suburb of Nima are slums: the standard of construction is poor, sanitation is poor and water supply is at best intermittent. Yet these areas serve a useful purpose, offering migrants from Ghana’s rural areas and elsewhere in West Africa relatively low rent accommodation (typically ‘chamber and hall’) not far from places of work. |
