A bold and compelling collection of 11 essays that brings together powerful voices to confront how the concept of taboo shapes diverse cultures across the continent. Through eloquent and candid prose, the essays explore subjects often kept in the shadows, such as AIDS, menstruation, mental health, grief, sexuality, and patriarchy. Each essay offers a powerful exploration of the intersections between personal experiences, theory, and cultural norms, creating a mosaic that is at once intimate and universal. The collection navigates themes of identity, history and the unspoken boundaries imposed by tradition, pushing against the limits of whispers and respectable conversation, to create a space for much-needed dialogue.
