Praise

The Imagine Africa books are brilliant compilations of essays, poems, short stories, and photography.
—Brooks Goddard, Boston University

Muholi's work is politically potent, capable of communicating on multiple frequencies simultaneously, confronting the audience's preconceived notions of gender binaries, class, sexuality and race.
—Jenna Wortham, The New York Times Magazine
