Afrocritik’s 50 Remarkable African Short Stories of 2025 features the following from Issue V:

The Language We Have Learned To Carry In Our Skin by @shingai-be-like.bsky.social
Excerpt from Afrocritik Review of The Language We Have Learned To Carry In Our Skin by Shingai Kagunda. Design is set on a teal background with curved orange and teal circular accents, the WTBAP logo at the top and the website's URL at the bottom. Text reads: Shingai Kagunda’s story is perhaps this anthology’s most intellectually aggressive work, transforming political critique into corporeal terror. The parasite metaphor risks over-determination; one is always wary of fiction that explains itself too eagerly, but Kagunda’s tactile precision rescues the narrative from didacticism. By locating neo-colonial inheritance in the skin, she bypasses abstraction and forces history into the body. Memory, here, is consumed. And the achievement of the story is its refusal to allow readers the comfort of distance.
