Abstract
“Small Stories” offers a glimpse of the kinds of stories that risk going unknown: stories of historical Africa and its sustained influence on the present and future, voices of women, community, and communal resistance to expulsion from history. At a macro level, the intent of this collection is to demand diversity and inclusivity in the modern literary, social, and academic culture. Rethinking history by inaugurating a wider set of evidentiary sources from the past does not mean escaping to a complete amnesia about the current position of Africans in literary arts, but recognizing that no single form of historical evidence can be used to accurately incorporate our story into literature
