The next issue of Chimurenga Magazine takes the form of The Chronic, a once-off, one-day-only edition of a speculative, future-forward newspaper that travels back in time to re-imagine the present. Produced in collaboration with Nigeria’s Cassava Republic Press and Kenya’s Kwani?, it is a multi-section broadsheet with news, long-form journalism, comics, sport, art etc. and 100-page books magazine to be released in October 2011, in numerous African cities.

The Chronicle will be out on Black Wednesday, 19 October 2011:
• in Southern Africa through Chimurenga;
• in West Africa through Cassava Republic Press;
• in East Africa through Kwani;
• in the USA through the Chinua Achebe Centre for African Writers and Artists at Bard College in New York;
• and in Europe through Idea Books, African Book Collective and Glanta Literary Magazine.
